Abstract
Using a rhodium(II)-catalyzed cyclization/cycloaddition sequence as the key reaction step, the icetexane core of komaroviquinone was constructed by an intramolecular dipolar-cycloaddition of a carbonyl ylide dipole across a tethered pi-bond. The ylide was arrived at by cyclization of a rhodium carbenoid intermediate onto a proximal ester group. Efforts towards the preparation of the required precursor for elaboration to the natural product are discussed.Entities:
