Concise synthesis of (±)-smenochromene D (= likonide B)

Brooke S. Olson, Dirk Trauner

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The total synthesis of smenochromene D, an unusual ansa-terpenoid is described. The synthesis features an unprecedented macrocyclization proceeding through a biomimetic electrocyclization. The enantiomeric relationship between smenochromene D and likonide B is established.
