Total Synthesis of (±)-Ceratopicanol: Application of Pd-Catalyzed Enediyne Cycloreduction

Abstract

Pd-catalyzed cycloreduction of enediyne 3 successfully afforded the linear triquinane skeleton 4. Total synthesis of (±)-ceratopicanol was accomplished using additional eight-step transformations starting from 4.

ceratopicanol - palladium - enediyne - cycloreduction - triquinane
