Synthesis of (+)-Schisanwilsonene A by Tandem Gold-Catalyzed Cyclization/1,5-Migration/Cyclopropanation

Abstract

<p> The first total synthesis of the antiviral (+)-schisanwilsonene A has been completed using a fully stereoselective tandem cyclization/1,5-migration/intermolecular cyclopropanation. The key reaction sequence is catalyzed by gold.</p>
