Studies for the synthesis of marine natural products.
The process of allylic transposition in S(E)' reactions is a significant construct for synthesis. The flexibility of a variety of allylation strategies provides for the rational design of pathways to a diverse array of complex targets. Our recent studies of S(E)' reactions will examine issues of stereoselectivity and efficiency in the context of applications toward the synthesis of marine natural products such as the xenicane diterpenes, which feature the strained E-cyclononene ring system, and peloruside A, a 16-membered macrocyclic lactone.
