First Total Synthesis of (–)-Merrillianin

22 December 2022, Version 1

Abstract

The first total synthesis of (–)-merrillianin (1), which is a natural sesquiterpene with a tri- fused structure having a cyclopentane ring and five- and seven-membered lactone parts, is demonstrated. This asymmetric total synthesis enabled the absolute stereo structure determination of naturally occurring (–)-1.
