An inside job: Enantioselective phthalide synthesis was achieved through internal redox allylation of o-phthalaldehydes. Oxidative esterification is balanced by reductive carbonyl addition to achieve an overall redox-neutral process. This method enabled formal syntheses of ent-spirolaxine methyl ether and CJ-12,954.
通过邻苯二甲醛的内部氧化还原烯丙基化实现了对映选择性的苯酞合成。通过羰基的还原加成来平衡氧化酯化,以实现总体氧化还原中性过程。该方法可用于正式合成 ent-spirolaxine methyl ether 和 CJ-12,954。
