Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Scuteflorin A Using Organocatalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation
摘要:
We report the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-scuteflorin A in 14% overall yield, employing a chiral iminium salt to effect an organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation of xanthyletin in >99% ee as the key step.
