Vinyl quinones as Diels-Alder dienes: Concise synthesis of (-)-halenaquinone
Kienzler, Michael A.,Suseno, Sandy,Trauner, Dirk
supporting information; experimental part, p. 8604 - 8605 (2009/02/02)
A concise asymmetric synthesis of (-)-halenaquinone is described. The synthesis features a diastereoselective Heck cyclization to set a quaternary center as well as a novel intramolecular inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction involving a vinyl quinone. The synthesis is highly convergent and features a minimal amount of protecting group manipulations. Copyright
