We present the first total synthesis of eight ent-pimaranes via a short and enantioselective route (11–16 steps). Key features of the divergent synthesis are a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, a ...

An intrinsic flame-retardant moiety, 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO), is incorporated into oligo(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (OPE), and four phosphorus-containing ...
