Abstract
The avermectins make up a biologically relevant class of complex natural products that continue to inspire the development of new strategies in chemical synthesis. Herein, we disclose a concise synthesis of the southern core of avermectin aglycon. The key hydrobenzofuran was forged by either reductive cyclization or cycloisomerization, both using a cationic palladium precatalyst. This hydropalladation strategy generated the hydrofuran ring under mild conditions, enabling the rapid construction of the tetra-substituted carbon stereocenter.
期刊介绍：
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
