Abstract

The conjugated entriyne natural product,(S)-(E)-15, 16-dihydrominquartynoic acid (1), is synthesized in five linear steps and 30% overall yield from the known aldehyde 11. The key step is a one-pot in situ desilylation/Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling reaction affording the entriyne unit. The bromoalkyne 6 with an ω-carboxylic acid group was found to undergo a copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction producing the desired diyne intermediate 10, ...
