Electrochemical Synthesis of Spirodienones with Sequential Ring Expansion to Fused 6–7–6 Tricycles

Abstract An intramolecular electro-oxidative spirocyclization of tethered arenes is developed to access spirodienones under metal- and chemical-oxidant-free conditions. This method exhibits good functional group tolerance, allowing a broad spectrum of substrates with yields of up...

Synthesis of a Fully Functionalized Chasmanine AF-Ring Fragment

Abstract C19-Diterpenoid alkaloids (C19 DTAs) represent a large family of structurally and biologically complex natural products. Within this class, C6-oxidized natural products have remained largely unsynthesized. Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of the fully functionali...
