Three total syntheses of zaragozic acids , a new group of natural products with blood cholesterol lowering properties, were successfully developed within a short time and published almost simultaneously. Convergence, skilled manipulation of protecting groups, and highly stereoselective reactions are the appealing features of these first syntheses of zaragozic acid A (Nicolaou) and zaragozic acid C ( 1 ) (Carreira and Evans).
