C–H functionalization logic in total synthesis
Will R. Gutekunst,Phil S. Baran +1 more
TL;DR: This critical review of C-H functionalization logic will be analyzed through the critical lens of total synthesis, and takes the reader through a series of case studies in which it has already been successfully applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Synthesis and Structural Revision of the Piperarborenines via Sequential Cyclobutane C - H Arylation
Will R. Gutekunst,Phil S. Baran +1 more
TL;DR: These syntheses feature a new preparation of cis-cyclobutane dicarboxylates from commercially available coumalate starting materials and a divergent approach to the controlled cis or trans installation of the two distinct aryl rings found in the natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI
A General Approach to Sequence-Controlled Polymers Using Macrocyclic Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization
TL;DR: A new and general strategy for the synthesis of sequence-defined polymers is described that employs relay metathesis to promote the ring opening polymerization of unstrained macrocyclic structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential C sp 3H Arylation and Olefination: Total Synthesis of the Proposed Structure of Pipercyclobutanamide A
TL;DR: Viewing these molecules as an opportunity to develop cyclobutane C–H olefination chemistry, a synthetic strategy was devised and the retrosynthetic analysis of pipercyclobutanamide A (5) is shown in Figure 1B.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of C-H functionalization logic to cyclobutane synthesis.
Will R. Gutekunst,Phil S. Baran +1 more
TL;DR: C–H functionalization reactions are explored as an alternative approach to access pseudodimeric cyclobutane natural products, such as the dictazole and the piperarborenine families, in a variety of complex settings.
