Aromatic ring formation by the 1,3-Michael-Claisen annulation: total synthesis of sophorapterocarpan A, maackiain, and anhydropisatin
Abstract
The utility of the 1,3-Michael–Claisen annulation sequence in the synthesis of natural products has been demonstrated by the synthesis of sophorapterocarpan A (1), maackiain (2), and anhydropisatin (3).
