The first total synthesis of fuscinarin (1) and total synthesis of fuscins, the pentaketide metabolites showing activity against CCR5 in a scintillation proximity assay, were described by using compound 6 as a common intermediate. A key feature of the approach is the microwave-assisted tandem ortho-Claisen/Cope rearrangement that was used for the expedient synthesis of the intermediate 10.
We report herein a “bottom-up” approach for the one-step assembly of a MacMillan catalyst-based phenolic-type polymer (Mac-CP). The resulting self-supported polymeric organocatalyst possesses homogeneously distributed and highly concentrated catalytic sites....
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
