Abstract:
The dendrobatid alkaloid (-)-251F was synthesized. The key steps of the synthesis were (1) an asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction to establish four of the necessary stereocenters in the target, (2) a ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis reaction to establish a key [3.3.0] bicyclic intermediate, and (3) an intramolecular Schmidt reaction.
