Abstract

Domino cyclization: Alkylpalladium intermediates in an asymmetric Heck reaction were intercepted by a second alkene to give tricyclic products with high enantioselectivity (see scheme; Boc=tert-butoxycarbonyl). The method was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of a precursor of (-)-martinellic acid, a folk eye medicine in South America. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
