Exceedingly Efficient Synthesis of (±)-Grandifloracin and Acylated Analogues
A highly
efficient regio- and stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-grandifloracin
via a tandem dearomative epoxidation/spontaneous Diels–Alder
cyclodimerization from salicylic acid in only four steps is reported.
The synthetic route allows for late-stage diversification of the core
structure to give ready access to analogues of this promising agent
