Total synthesis of cis-clerodane diterpenoids: (–)-agelasine A and (+)-(3R,4S,5R,8S,9R,10S)-3,4-epoxyclerod-13-en-15,16-olide
Abstract
The preparation of the enantiomerically homogeneous bicyclic iodide 26 and its use as a key intermediate for the total syntheses of the cis-clerodane diterpenoids (–)-agelasine A 5 and (+)-( 3R,4S,5R,8S,9R,10S)-3,4-epoxyclerod-13-en-15,16-olide 6 are described.
