ChemInform Abstract: Diels—Alder Approach for the Construction of Halogenated, o‐Nitro Biaryl Templates and Application to the Total Synthesis of the anti‐HIV Agent Siamenol.

Abstract

A new method to prepare halogenated biaryls is reported. These compounds are useful synthons which can smoothly be converted into other polyphenyl derivatives such as (VIII) and (IX) as well as to carbazoles like (XIII) and siamenol (XVII). -(NAFFZIGER, M.
