Formal synthesis of berkelic acid: A lesson in α-alkylation chemistry
McLeod, Michael C.,Wilson, Zoe E.,Brimble, Margaret A.
, p. 400 - 416 (2012/02/15)
The full details of our enantioselective formal synthesis of the biologically active natural product berkelic acid are described. The insertion of the C-18 methyl group proved challenging, with three different approaches investigated to install the correc
An Enantioselective formal synthesis of berkelic acid
McLeod, Michael C.,Wilson, Zoe E.,Brimble, Margaret A.
, p. 5382 - 5385 (2011/11/30)
An enantioselective formal synthesis of berkelic acid is described. The key step involves a late-stage silyl enol ether addition to a benzannulated oxonium ion with subsequent spiroketalization leading to construction ofthe tetracyclic core. Thermodynamic

An extremophilic challenge: Stereospecific condensation of a fully functionalized ketal aldehyde and a 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid is the key step in the synthesis of (-)-berkelic acid confirming Fuerstner's reassignment of the stereochemistry at C18 and C1
