A first total synthesis of broussonetine F from diethyl l-tartrate was achieved. The cornerstone of our synthesis was an orthoamide Overmanrearrangement, which provided an allylic amino alcohol with complete diastereoselectivity.
a single rearrangement (the orthoamide‐type Overman rearrangement). The newly generated allylicalcohols from the orthoamide‐type reaction can potentially undergo a variety of further transformations. For instance, we demonstrated an Overman/Claisen sequence in one pot. The most conspicuous feature of this method is that it offers precise control over the number of Overman rearrangements from the same
