The total synthesis of leiodermatolide
A was accomplished in 13
steps (LLS). Transfer hydrogenative variants of three carbonyl additions
that traditionally rely on premetalated reagents (allylation, crotylation,
and propargylation) are deployed together in one total synthesis.
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.
