S. Caddick et Vm. Delisser, STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF A FUNCTIONALIZED BICYCLIC CORE OF NEOCARZINOSTATIN AND KEDARCIDIN CHROMOPHORES, Tetrahedron letters, 38(13), 1997, pp. 2355-2358
The stereoselective synthesis of a bicyclic ring system related to Neo
carzinostatin and Kedarcidin Chromophores is described; key steps invo
lve stereoselective conjugate addition of an enediyne to an enone and
intramolecular aldol reaction of a cobalt complexed alkynyl aldehyde.
