Formal Synthesis of Teadenols via Palladium-Catalyzed 6-endo Cyclization of an Epoxyphenol

To the memory of late Prof. Toshiyuki Kan.

Abstract

Formal syntheses of teadenols A and B are achieved via a key Pd-catalyzed 6-endo cyclization of a phenol possessing a vinyl ­epoxide moiety. Although 5-exo and 6-endo cyclizations compete during cyclizations of epoxides with a nucleophilic moiety at the 5-position, 6-endo cyclization is realized by using a palladium catalyst.

Key words

6-endo cyclization - formal synthesis - palladium - teadenol - vinyl epoxide
