30. 20 For the absolute configuration of panaxytriol to be opposite to that shown, all of these precedents would have to be inapplicable.
31. A related Cadiot-Chodkiewicz cross-coupling reaction was reported in the process of total synthesis of panaxytriol (ref 7b). The novelty of our case lies in its application to a setting containing three nonprotected resident hydroxyl groups.
