Efficient Total Synthesis of (-)-stemoamide
Overview
Chemistry
Affiliations
An efficient diastereoselective synthesis of (-)-stemoamide has been accomplished from a pyroglutamic acid derivative in eight steps and with 24% overall yield. The synthesis features an intramolecular samarium diiodide-promoted 7-exo-trig cyclization of a ketyl radical generated from the corresponding aldehyde.
