Fully Stereocontrolled Total Syntheses of (−)‐Cylindricine C and (−)‐2‐Epicylindricine C: A Departure in Sulfonamide Chemistry

Abstract

A common intermediate was used in the total syntheses of (−)-cylindricine C and (−)-2-epicylindricine C (see picture) in a process that involves the initial oxidative spirocyclization of a phenolic sulfonamide. The remainder of the molecules is constructed through interesting sulfonamide chemistry.
