An ew Ti III -mediated reductive epoxide-opening/ Beckwith-Dowdr earrangement process efficiently assembles the bicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework of highly oxidized grayanane diterpenoids.B yi ncorporation of aC u(tbs) 2 -catalyzed (tbs = N-tert-butylsalicylaldiminato) intramolecular cyclopropanation, ad iastereoselective oxidative dearomatizationinduced Diels-Alder cycloaddition and aM eReO 3 -catalyzed Rubottom oxidation, this approach has enabled the first total syntheses of rhodomolleins XX and XXII in 23 and 22 steps, respectively.Supportinginformation and the ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under: https://doi.
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.
