, p. 3663 - 3669 (2007/10/02)
A synthesis of podophyllotoxin and several analogues is described.The key step that generates all four chiral centers of podophylotoxin involves an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction between an appropriately substituted o-quinodimethane and a pendant cro

trans-2-Arylbenzocyclobuten-1-ols have been prepared by Pb(OAc)4 decarboxylation of 2-arylbenzocyclobutene-1-carboxylic acids followed by careful hydrolysis of the acetoxy group.The benzocyclobutene ring was formed via intramolecular nucleophilic addition
