Highly stereoselective synthesis of novel alpha-haloenamides via a mild and efficient hydrohalogenation of ynamides.

TL;DR: A highly stereoselective preparation of novel chiral (E)-alpha-haloenamides under mild conditions utilizing magnesium halide salts is described, highlighting another synthetic utility of ynamides.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Formal [3 + 3] Cycloaddition Reaction. Improved Reactivity Using α,β-Unsaturated Iminium Salts and Evidence for Reversibility of 6π-Electron Electrocyclic Ring Closure of 1-Oxatrienes

TL;DR: In this paper, a formal cycloaddition method using 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones and 1,3-diketones is described, and experimental evidence is provided to support the mechanism of this reaction that involves a sequential Knoevenagel condensation and a reversible 6π-electron electrocyclic ring closure of 1-oxatrienes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The total synthesis of (±)-arisugacin A

TL;DR: A 20-step total synthesis of arisugacin A with an overall yield of 2.1% is described in detail in this paper, which features a formal [3+3] cycloaddition reaction of α,β-unsaturated iminium salts with 6-aryl-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones through a highly stereoselective 6π-electron electrocyclic ring closure of 1-oxatriene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aza-[3+3] Annulations. Part 6. Total Synthesis of Putative (-)-Lepadiformine and (-)-Cylindricine C

TL;DR: In this paper, an enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-cylindricine C along with the syntheses of putative lepadiformine, epi-lepadiformines, (-)-4-deoxo-cylindRIC-C, and (-)-2-epi-cylINDRICine C are described in details.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Total Synthesis of (-)-Arisugacin A

TL;DR: A 20-step total synthesis of arisugacin A with an overall yield of 2.1% is described in detail in this article, which features a formal [3+3] cycloaddition reaction of α,β-unsaturated iminium salts with 6-aryl-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones through a highly stereoselective 6π-electron electrocyclic ring closure of 1-oxatriene.
