title: Catalytic enantioselective alkylative dearomatization-annulation: total synthesis and absolute configuration assignment of hyperibone K.
abstract: The asymmetric total synthesis of the polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol hyperibone K has been achieved using an enantioselective alkylative dearomatization-annulation process. NMR and computational studies were employed to probe the mode of action of a chiral phase-transfer (ion pair) catalyst.
