Synthesis of the Carbocyclic Core of Zoanthenol: Implementation of an Unusual Acid-Catalyzed Cyclization
Chicago
Abstract
A smokin' hot cyclization! When the racemic cyclization precursor is heated in neat trifluoroacetic acid, an unusual Friedel–Crafts-type cyclization forms the carbocyclic core of the marine alkaloid zoanthenol containing two all-carbon-substituted quaternary centers. Catalytic asymmetric alkylation allows entry into an enantioselective route.
