Abstract
The first asymmetric total synthesis of penicifuranone A was accomplished in eight steps through an NHC-catalyzed umpolung strategy. Key features of the synthesis include an Al-Salen catalyzed asymmetric cyanosilylation to install the tertiary alcohol of gregatin A, and an NHC catalyzed Stetter-Aldol cascade reaction. The umpolung strategy of benzyl aldehyde fragment facilitated a convergent formal [4+2] annulation with gregatin A, ultimately leading to the formation of penicifuranone A
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
