The asymmetric synthesis of (−)-pumiliotoxin C using tandem catalysis
摘要:
The potent neurotoxin (-)-pumiliotoxin C has been prepared in 8 steps starting from 2-cyclohexenone. Key steps are a tandem asymmetric conjugate addition-allylic substitution reaction and a tandem Heck-allylic substitution reaction. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
