Key words

(–)-cephalocyclidin A - asymmetric cyclization cascade - Wilkinson decarbonylation - Fleming–Tamao oxidation - Giese addition

Significance

Zhang, Tu and co-workers report a concise total synthesis of (–)-cephalocyclidin A. Key to their approach is a Cu(II)-catalyzed enantioselective polycyclization cascade of tertiary enamides with terminal silyl enol ethers. The development and scope of this methodology is also reported in the highlighted paper.

Comment

Enamide E undergoes an intramolecular cyclization cascade to give H via nucleophilic attack of the enamine onto the carbonyl and subsequent trapping of the generated iminium with the enol ether. A second salient feature is the Giese addition, from K to L, furnishing the last carbocycle in the caged natural product.
