Abstract

Six natural euglobals were synthesized by electrochemical methods. In a key step, cycloaddition between in situ generated quinomethanes and terpenes was performed on the surface of PTFE-fibre coated electrode to give natural products using 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6- dicyano-p-hydroquinone (DDQH2) as a redox mediator. In this reaction system, biomimetic generation and cycloaddition of the unstable quinomethanes were efficiently completed ...
