General description

Learn More at the Professor and Product Portal of Professor Bruce Lipshutz.

Application

Phenol protecting group in the synthesis of laterifluorones.
Used to prepare a SEM-ether which was, in turn, removed with BBr3 and cyclized to a benzo-oxapane.

Features and Benefits

Convenient hydroxyl-protecting reagent. SEM-ethers are stable over a wide pH range, and can be selectively cleaved with fluoride ion under mild aprotic conditions.

The total synthesis of 1-O-methyllateriflorone (2) is described. The construction of the cage-like domain of the molecule involved a biomimetic Claisen/Diels-Alder cascade, whereas the novel spiroxalactone framework was generated by an intramolecular Michael reaction within precursor 16a involving the carboxylate
