title: Studies toward the total synthesis of ristocetin A aglycone using arene-ruthenium complexes as S(N)Ar substrates: Construction of an advanced tricyclic intermediate.
abstract: Ruthenium-mediated S(N)Ar reactions are used to construct the diaryl ether linkages in two key intermediates for a projected total synthesis of the aglycone of ristocetin A.
