Abstract
The development of a simple, efficient, scalable, and stereocontrolled synthesis of a common intermediate en route to the axinellamines, massadines, and palau'amine is reported. This completely new route was utilized to prepare the axinellamines on a gram scale. In a more general sense, three distinct and enabling methodological advances were made during these studies: (1) an ethylene glycol-assisted Pauson-Khand cycloaddition reaction, (2) a Zn/In-mediated Barbier-type reaction, and (3) a TfNH(2)-assisted chlorination-spirocyclization.
