title: Reductive aromatization of quinols: synthesis of the C-arylglycoside nucleus of the papulacandins and chaetiacandin.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Nucleophilic 1,2-addition of lithiated glycal 9b to functionalized quinone 7 provided, after reductive aromatization, C-arylglycoside 11b. Treatment with mCPBA afforded the tricyclic papulacandin framework. Alternatively, hydroboration gave the chaetiacandin nucleus.
