Abstract

The highly stereoselective synthesis of core framework 4, a pivotal intermediate for the total synthesis of chlorahololide A, is reported. The approach features t-BuCu-mediated stereoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated diketone 8, Wharton transposition, Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation and cascade enol lactonization.

Key words

chlorahololide A - Hajos-Parrish ketone - Wharton transposition - cyclopropanation - enol lactonization
