Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Clionastatins A and B | Organic ...
chemrxiv.org › engage › chemrxivJul 12, 2021 · Herein we report the first total synthesis of polychlorinated steroids clionastatins A and B, which was accomplished asymmetrically by means of a convergent, radical fragment coupling approach. Key features of the synthesis include an Ireland–Claisen rearrangement to introduce the C5 stereocenter (which was ultimately transferred to the C10 quaternary stereocenter of the clionastatins via a ...
