A novel and efficient route to chiral A-ring aromatic trichothecanes—The first enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-debromofiliformin and (-)-filiformin
The first examples of asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of the cyclopropylidene derivatives 12a∼ e followed by enantiospecific 1, 2-rearrangement of the resulted diols 13a∼ e to give the optically active cyclobutanones 15a∼ d and 11, and also the first enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-debromofiliformin (7a) and (-)-filiformin (7b) starting from 11via the regiocontrolled cyclization of the phenolic allyl alcohol 25 to the A-ring aromatic ...
