Our syntheses of harziane diterpenoids (including harziandione and harzianone) are now out in @J_A_C_S . This work highlights again the power of Baran reductive olefin coupling (BROC) in building sterically hindered C−C bonds: https://t.co/UlKI7hHPUc
pubs.acs.org
Harziane diterpenoids possess a highly caged 6/5/7/4 core framework and four contiguous stereocenters, including two quaternary ones, and present significant challenges to chemical synthesis. Herein,...
