Asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-fusariumin and (+)-sporotricale methyl ether: Exploration of Cu(I) catalysed regiodivergent cascade cyclization strategy
Abstract
Asymmetric total synthesis of isocoumarin-based natural product (+)-fusariumin was achieved for the first time through Cu(I) catalysed 6-endo-dig cyclization as a key step. Synthesis of phthalide-based natural product sporotricale methyl ether was also achieved through an alternative 5-exo-dig cyclization protocol. 2-Bromo-4,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid and an appropriately substituted terminal alkyne were used as reaction partners for the crucial construction of the desired isocoumarin and phthalide framework present in the target structure.
