Article Title: | Studies directed toward the total synthesis of lactonamycin: Control of the sense of cycloaddition of a quinone through directed intramolecular catalysis |
Abstract: | The rapid assembly of the ABCD tetracyclic ring system of lactonamycin involved the strong-base-induced regioselective Diels-Alder reaction of 1 and 2 to form advanced precursor 3. Regiochemical control results from the suitably positioned hydroxy group, and thus only the desired isomer of 3 is obtained. |
