A Short Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (−)‐Englerin A1. Issue 20 (15th April 2013) - Zahel, Martin
Abstract Selective oxidations of dienone 2 as well as a ring‐closing metathesis to give the hydroazulene framework enabled the 12‐step preparation of title compound 1 from (−)‐photocitral A (3), which is in turn rapidly available from (−)‐isopulegol through dual catalysis.
