Stereoselective route to functionalized cis-hydrindanes from tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decan-10-ones. A total synthesis of (±)-coronafacic acid
Abstract
A flexible approach to functionalized cis-hydrindanes via Haller–Bauer type cleavage of endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decan-10-ones is delineated and its efficacy demonstrated through a concise synthesis of (±)-coronafacic acid.
