Stereocontrolled syntheses of the nemorensic acids using 6-diazoheptane-2,5-dione in carbonyl ylide cycloadditions.

Levulinic acid-derived 6-diazoheptane-2,5-dione (9) serves as a common precursor in a formal synthesis of frontalin 19, and in syntheses of cis-nemorensic acid 1, 4-hydroxy-cis-nemorensic acid 2, 3-hydroxy-cis-nemorensic acid 3, and nemorensic acid 4. The key step in these syntheses is the Rh(2)(OAc...
