Abstract

(+/-)-Botryodiplodin and (+/-)-epi-botryodiplodin acetates were prepared in good yields following a practical four step route. The method, for the construction of the strategic tetrahydrofuran ring, hinged on an unprecedented halogen atom transfer Ueno-Stork cyclization of an O-allyl alpha,alpha-dihalohemiacetal acetate, catalyzed by the redox complex CuCl/N,N,N ',N '',N ''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine.
