An Approach to the Synthesis of Tricholomalide A: An Effective Means for Achieving Homo-Robinson Annulation.
A procedure has been developed for the construction of 7,5-fused ring systems through ring expansion of silyl enol ethers. This method has been applied to the synthesis of an intermediate en route to the natural product, tricholomalide A.
