Total synthesis of (±)-dihydroprotolichesterinic acid and formal synthesis of (±)-Roccellaric acid by radical cyclisation of an epoxide. Using a transition-metal radical source
A short and efficient total synthesis of (±)-Dihydroprotolichesterinic acid (1) and Formal synthesis of (±)-Roccellaric acid (2) has been acheived by radical cyclisation of epoxide using a transition metal radical source.
