Abstract
A convenient synthesis of the central core of helioporins, seco-pseudopterosins and pseudopterosins in racemic form is reported, using a Suzuki coupling (A-ring formation)-Friedel-Crafts acylation sequence, followed by synthetic elaboration of the resulting tetralone derivative. Key steps of the method are a totally diastereoselective cuprate conjugate addition and a final, spontaneous Friedel-Crafts acylation.
