Oxidative Rearrangements of Isobenzofurans: Studies toward the Synthesis of the Ajudazols
摘要:
We present a new facet of isobenzofuran chemistry which allows for its efficient manipulation to generate biologically relevant entities. This methodology has been successfully applied toward the synthesis of ajudazol A.
The regioselective alkylation and oxidative rearrangement of isobenzofurans has been achieved to generate substituted 4,8-dihydroxyisochromanones in good yields and with complete regiocontrol.
