[摘要]:An enantioselective approach to a diastereomer of iriomoteolide-1a is described. Highlighted is a Sml(2)-mediated intramolecular reductive cyclization approach to complex cyclic hemiketals. An acetylide-chloroformate coupling strategy is also featured. Our results show that the structures of iriomoteolide-1a-1c require careful reassessment. |
