Abstract:
An asymmetric total synthesis of [13 C4 ]-anatoxin-a ([13 C4 ]-1) has been developed from commercially available ethyl [13 C4 ]-acetoacetate ([13 C4 ]-15). The unique requirements associated with isotope incorporation inspired a new, robust, and highly scalable route, providing access to 0.110 g of this internal standard for use in the detection and precise quantification of anatoxin-a in freshwater. A highlight of the synthesis is a method that leverages a cyclic iminium ion racemization to achieve dynamic kinetic resolution in an enantioselective Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) cyclization.
