Vt. Tam et al., FIRST SYNTHESIS OF A NEW ACETOGENIN OF ANNONACEAE, RETICULATAMOL - ACTIVATED TIN HYDRIDE WITH ENHANCED REDUCING ABILITY, Tetrahedron letters, 35(6), 1994, pp. 883-886
A new annonaceous acetogenin, reticulatomol 1, is described. In order
to confirm its structure, its total synthesis has been performed, usin
g as a key step a radical coupling reaction between an alkyl iodide an
d an enone, followed by an original reduction of the so obtained to yi
eld the desired natural product.
