摘要:
We have achieved total synthesis of cleomiscosin C (aquillochin) through regioselective cycloaddition of o-quinone and protected sinapyl alcohol as a key step. During preparation of o-quinone from phenol by IBX oxidation, silyl substituents adjacent to the phenolic hydroxyl group afforded effective inhibition of an undesired oxidative elimination.
