Chemical Emulation of the Biosynthesis of (±)-Arnebidin
We report a 13-step biomimetic total synthesis of (±)-arnebidin from 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene. An intermolecular Diels-Alder homodimerization triggers spontaneous dehydrogenation and an intramolecular cycloaddition, delivering a single diastereomer under ambient conditions. This...
