Convergent Total Synthesis of (+/-)-Tenellin
Rigby, James H.,Qabar, Maher
, p. 5852 - 5853 (2007/10/02)
A convergent total synthesis of the fungal biochrome tenellin is reported.The synthesis features an efficient cyclocondensation of a cinnamate derived isocyanate with a fully elaborated diene β-keto ester enolate reaction partner.
Synthesis of Racemic Tenellin
Williams, David R.,Sit, Sing-Yuen
, p. 2846 - 2851 (2007/10/02)
Total synthesis of racemic tenellin, a yellow pigment of the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria, has been accomplished.Preparation of 1,4-dihydroxy-5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2(1H)-pyridinone is achieved in excellent overall yield by utilizing an intramolecular C-acylation of an imidazolide precursor.A facile conjugate reduction of the vinylogous amide 6 is illustrated with sodium cyanoborohydride.
