Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Three strikes and you're out! A concise, asymmetric synthesis of pycnanthuquinone C underscores the biosynthetic relevance of Diels-Alder reactions of vinyl quinones. The relative and absolute configuration of the natural product has been elucidated.
