Abstract

Levulinic acid-derived 6-diazoheptane-2, 5-dione (9) serves as a common precursor in a formal synthesis of frontalin 19, and in syntheses of cis-nemorensic acid 1, 4-hydroxy-cis- nemorensic acid 2, 3-hydroxy-cis-nemorensic acid 3, and nemorensic acid 4. The key step in these syntheses is the Rh2 (OAc) 4-catalyzed tandem carbonyl ylide formation- intermolecular 1, 3-dipolar cycloadditions of diazodione 9 with formaldehyde, alkynes or ...
