title: Development of an enantiodivergent strategy for the total synthesis of (+)- and (-)-dragmacidin f from a single enantiomer of quinic Acid.
abstract: An enantiodivergent strategy for the total chemical synthesis of both (+)- and (-)-dragmacidin F beginning from a single enantiomer of quinic acid has been developed and successfully implemented. Although unique, the synthetic routes to these antipodes share a number of key features, including novel reductive isomerization reactions, Pd(II)-mediated oxidative carbocyclization reactions, halogen-selective Suzuki couplings, and high-yielding late-stage Neber rearrangements.
