Synthesis of the purported ent -pochonin J structure featuring a stereoselective oxocarbenium allylation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo200332d

The synthesis of the alleged natural product pochonin J is presented. Key steps of this convergent synthesis include a chemoselective Wacker oxidation, and an Evans anti-reduction of the resulting ketone. Upon ozonolysis, this intermediate undergoes a 6-e
