Abstract

A concise and efficient total synthesis of the phytotoxin porritoxin is described. The key step of the synthesis is based upon a Parham cyclization methodology which enables the creation of the lactam unit embedded in the title compound framework with the concomitant formation of the tethered hydroxyakyl chain.
