Synthetic Study on Acremoxanthone A, Part 2: Model Study on the EFG Xanthone Moiety through a Nitrile Oxide Cycloaddition–SNAr Sequence

Abstract

AbstractToward a total synthesis of acremoxanthone A, we report a model study on the construction of the EFG ring system. The key steps include (1) an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an aryl nitrile oxide with a dienone, and (2) an SNAr reaction for construction of the F ring.
