An enantioselective synthesis of the right‐hand substructure of solanoeclepin A has been developed. The key step was an intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition between an allene and a butenolide providing a methylenecyclobutane with three quaternary carbon atoms in a complex tetracyclic framework. Other crucial steps included an enantioselective Noyori transfer hydrogenation of a ketone, a diastereoselective silver‐mediated silyl dienolate allylation, and a diastereoselective cyclopropanation of an allylic alcohol. The installation of the bridgehead methyl group by reduction of the lactone moiety proved to be troublesome.
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.
