Synthesis of ustalic acid, an inhibitor of Na+,K+-ATPase
Ustalic acid, an inhibitor of Na+,K+-ATPase isolated from a poisonous mushroom, was synthesized in 8?steps using the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and oxidation of methylene acetal as key steps.
Syntheses of naturally occurring terphenyls and related compounds
Naturally occurring terphenyls and related compounds such as terferol and its corresponding quinone and phlebiarubrone were synthesized from 2,5-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone. According to the proposed biosynthetic pathway, chemical conversion of phlebiarubro
