A New Approach to (+)-Brefeldin A via a Nickel-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of Cyclopentenyl Acetate and Lithium 2-Furylborate.-The strategy for the synthesis of compound (VIII), an intermediate of Bartlett's brefeldin A synthesis, is based on the coupling reaction of chiral (I) with 2-furylborate in the presence of Ni-catalysts to afford the 1,4-isomer (III) regioand stereoselectively. -(KOBAYASHI, Y.; WATATANI, K.; KIKORI, Y.; MIZOJIRI, R.; Tetrahedron Lett. 37 (1996) 34, 6125-6128; Dep.
