Synthesis of (±)-trimethylpeltogynol via 6-endo radical cyclisation
Abstract
The (±)-trimethyl ether of the unusual heterocycle peltogynol (3; R = OMe), and its ring skeleton (9; R = H), have been synthesised via 6-endo intracyclisation of the radical derived from the iodides (8; R = H) and (8; R = OMe).
