Abstract

A formal synthesis of crocacin C is described proving the versatility of Prins cyclization in natural product synthesis. The ­approach is convergent and highly stereoselective. Cross-metathesis and Heck reactions were utilized for the insertion of an aromatic group in a stereocontrolled manner.

Key words

crocacins - Prins cyclization - olefin rearrangement - cross-metathesis
