, 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
A DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF TRANS 2-ARYLBENZOCYCLOBUTENOL, A POTENTIAL INTERMEDIATE FOR PODOPHYLLOTOXIN SYNTHESIS: USE OF LDA FOR BENZYNE FORMATION AND TRAPPING
Jung, Michael E.,Lowen, Gregory T.
, p. 5319 - 5322 (2007/10/02)
Treatment of m-alkoxyaryl bromides with LDA in THF produces the corresponding aryne which can be trapped intramolecularly by an anion α to a nitrile to produce a substituted benzocyclobutenyl nitrile, the precursor of a trans arylbenzocyclobutenol potenti
