Ty. Yoon et al., EXPERIMENTS DIRECTED TOWARD A TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF DYNEMICIN-A - A SOLUTION TO THE STEREOCHEMICAL PROBLEM, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(14), 1994, pp. 3752-3754
The stereochemical issues required for a total synthesis of dynemicin
A (1) have been resolved by employing an intramolecular Diels-Alder re
action and a diastereoselective addition of a magnesioacetylide to a q
uinoline under the influence of methyl chloroformate.
