Abstract

Abstract A general approach is reported for the synthesis of phenolic natural products having terpenoid side chains:(1) construction of the requisite bromophenol ethers,(2) coupling the aromatic ring with a terpenoid chain through copper (I) ate complex, and (3) ether cleavage under neutral or basic conditions, and the feasibility of this strategy is demonstrated by efficient synthesis of colletochlorins B and D.
