Construction of the tricyclic core of rhamnofolane-type diterpenoids
Abstract
We herein report the synthetic efforts toward the tricyclic core of rhamnofolane-type diterpenoids, featuring a 5-exo/ring-expansion/6-exo radical cascade sequence. Furthermore, direct stereoselective editing of a sterically hindered allylic C–H bond enables the otherwise challenging conversion of cis-fused systems to their trans-fused analogs, providing a versatile platform for accessing this natural product family.
