A Concise Total Synthesis of (--)-Maoecrystal Z
Chicago
Abstract
The first total synthesis of (--)-maoecrystal Z is described. The key steps of the synthesis include a diastereoselective Ti^(III)-mediated reductive epoxide coupling reaction and a diastereoselective Sm^(II)-mediated reductive cascade cyclization reaction. These transformations enabled the preparation of (--)-maoecrystal Z in only 12 steps from (--)-γ-cyclogeraniol.
