Epub 2023 Aug 6.ABSTRACTSequential treatment of alkyl 2-(2-nitroaryl)-2-butenoates with potassium tert-butoxide and an electrophile, such as methyl iodide, benzyl bromide and allyl bromide, afforded N-alkoxyindoles. In related reactions, using sodium tert-pentoxide as the base with or without in situ addition of an electrophile afforded N-alkoxy- and N-hydroxyindoles, respectively. Electrophiles such as dimethylsulfate, p-tosyl chloride, and acetic anhydride afforded moderate yields of the respective N-methoxy-, N-tosyloxy, and N-acetoxyindoles, while meth...

A symmetry-driven approach toward the total synthesis of dodecahedrane
Tetrahedron. 2022 Nov 5;126:133041. doi: 10.1016/j.tet.2022.133041. Epub 2022 Sep 21.ABSTRACTHerein, we describe our progress toward the total synthesis of dodecahedrane, a complex and highly symmetrical hydrocarbon that bears twelve fused rings arranged in a cage-like architecture. Central to our approach is a late-stage [2+2+2+2+2] polyene cyclization cascade, which is expected to construct five new bonds and ten new rings in a single transformation. Toward this end, we describe efforts to synthesize key monomeric fragments, along with successful dimerization studies using a pinacol coupling approach. Subsequent studies ...
