Application of a rhodium-catalyzed cyclization cycloaddition cascade strategy to the total synthesis of (−)-curcumol†
Abstract
A de novo asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-curcumol has been realized, based on a rhodium-catalyzed cyclization–cycloaddition cascade reaction as the key step to construct the tricyclic nucleus.
