Abstract

Model studies towards the synthesis of the cytotoxic marine natural product diazonamide A are described. Three model 3-phenylbenzo [b] furan derivatives 5, 8 and 10 were prepared using rhodium () catalysed decomposition of the diazophenylacetate 3, Claisen rearrangement of the ether 7, and a classical intramolecular F
