“Rubottom oxidation” Synthesis of Brevenal’s E-Ring Precursor:
A Novel Carbon-Carbon Bond-Forming Reaction of Triflates with Copper(1)-Catalyzed Grignard Reagents: One-pot double alkylation strategy. J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55,4417–422.
34 was isolated as an inseparable mixture of diastereomers as a result of the poor selectivity in the epoxidation reaction made this approach untenable and forced us to modify our strategy.
model bicyclic enol ether 39 comes from the oxidation of ZnMe2 by the epoxide from 31 and the subsequent transfer of methoxide to the epoxide
lithium di-t-butyl biphenylide (LiDBB) our spectroscopic data for 49 did not match that previously reported. While not definitively established, we presume that pentacycle 49 differs from the brevenal core at C(23).
