Enantioselective total syntheses of cedrelin A and methylated paralycolin B using Pd-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular Friedel–Crafts allylic alkylation of phenols
We report the first enantioselective total syntheses of cedrelin A and methylated paralycolin B, wherein Pd-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular Friedel–Crafts allylic alkylation of phenols was the key step.
