title: Accessing the structural diversity of pyridone alkaloids: concise total synthesis of rac-citridone A.
abstract: A unique route to the structural diversity of pyridone alkaloids is described based on the concept of a common synthetic strategy. Three different core structure analogues corresponding to akanthomycin, septoriamycin A, and citridone A have been prepared by using a highly selective and novel carbocyclization reaction.
