The first total synthesis of natural grenadamide

Abstract

A concise, high yielding route to the naturally occurring enantiomer of grenadamide utilizing a 3,6-disubstituted 1,2-dioxine starting material is presented. The route allows for ease in synthesizing grenadamide derivatives varying at cyclopropyl carbons 2 and 3, with access to both enantiomers. Evidence for phosphorus-assisted deprotonation of 1,2-dioxines is also discussed.
