A synthetic study of eudesmanolides was performed utilizing a Suzuki coupling reaction of tris (4-methylfuran-3-yl) boroxine (6) as the pivotal step. The other key reactions involved Friedel–Crafts acylation, Wacker–Tsuji reaction and aldol condensation. In this Ring C→ BC→ ABC approach, a model compound 3 towards the synthesis of eudesmanolides 11, 13- dihydrotubiferin (1) and artogallin (2) was realized. In another model study, the five- ...
