(R)‐Tonkafuranone and related compounds: Improved synthesis, stereochemical purity in nature, and bioactivities of the pure enantiomers

Dehydromenthofurolactone (tonkafuranone) and other bicyclic lactones are common flavour compounds and can be found in a variety of plants. Herein, we present an improved synthesis of the natural product and a series of close analogues, in combination with efficient purification methods for simple pr...
