Studies toward soraphen A: an aldol-metathesis avenue to the macrocyclic framework

Org Lett. 2006 Jun 22;8(13):2791-4. doi: 10.1021/ol060882s.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] We describe a convergent approach to soraphen A, 1, that involves coupling of two fragments by an aldol condensation-olefin metathesis sequence. This route permits rapid access to congeners of 1.
