Ruthenium-mediated S N Ar reactions are used to construct the diaryl ether linkages in two key intermediates for a projected total synthesis of the aglycone of ristocetin A.
Using the ruthenium-promoted intermolecular S N Ar reaction, a key building block corresponding to the F-O-G fragment of ristocetin A has been synthesized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
