A formal synthesis of (-)-pumiliotoxin C
Davies SG., Bhalay G.
An asymmetric synthesis of an advanced intermediate in the synthesis of natural (-)-pumiliotoxin C has been achieved in six steps and in 61% overall yield employing as the key step a highly diastereoselective lithium amide 1,4-conjugate addition to a dienoic ester derived from (R)-(+)-pulegone.
