Synthetic studies toward aplysiasecosterol A: Construction of the novel tricyclic core

摘要

Aplysiasecosterol A, a 9,11-secosterol compound, has a unique tricyclic gamma-diketone skeleton including a hemiacetal. The novel tricyclic core of aplysiasecosterol A is constructed by using intramolecular radical cyclization as a key step. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
