building molecular complexity. In principle, the controlled oligomerization of isoprene would drastically simplify the synthesis of terpenes used in the medicine, perfumery, flavor, and materials industries. This article delineates our extensive efforts to cooligomerize isoprene or butadiene with alkynes in a controlled fashion by zerovalent nickel catalysis building off the classic studies by Wilke and
人工模拟萜烯生物合成的环化酶阶段激发了新方法的发明,因为使用包含最少功能的碳框架限制了化学家的合成策略工具箱。例如,从五碳构建块构建萜烯骨架将是在实验室中模仿的一个令人兴奋的途径。大自然将 γ,γ-二甲基烯丙基焦磷酸 (DMAPP) 和异戊烯焦磷酸 (IPP) 低聚、环化,然后氧化成所有已知的萜烯。从异戊二烯开始,这项工作的目标是模仿大自然快速构建分子复杂性的方法。原则上,异戊二烯的受控低聚将大大简化用于医药、香料、香料和材料工业的萜烯的合成。
