Abstract:
Using an atropdiastereoselective oxidative biaryl coupling as the key step, the total synthesis of the ellagitannin natural product sanguiin H-5 is reported. Both organomagnesium and organozinc based metalation methodologies were used to efficiently construct the strained medium-ring core of the natural product.
