Stereoselective Transformation of Enantiopure Cyclohexenol into <i>cis</i>-Hydrindan. An Enantioselective Formal Total Synthetic Route to (+)-Pumiliotoxin C
Beginning with the chirally homogeneous cyclohexenol 3, an enantioselective totalsyntheticroute to (+)-pumiliotoxin C (1) has been described. Palladium catalyzed reductive cyclization reaction was employed to prepare a key component in the synthesis.
