Abstract

Abstract A strategy for the synthesis of richardianidin-1 is evaluated which has as its key step the tautomer-arrested annulation of chromium-carbene complexes. Both inter-and intramolecular variations of the strategy are examined. The intramolecular reaction involves the tethering of the alkyne to the oxygen stabilizing substituent of the carbene carbon. The outcome of the intramolecular tautomer-arrested annulation was found to be highly ...
