Abstract

A new, five-step route to (Z)-pulchelialactam, a CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, is presented. Key steps are the copper(I) chloride bipyridyl catalyzed atom-transfer radical cyclization of an appropriate allyl alpha,alpha-dichloroacetate and the subsequent dehydrochlorination/prototropic rearrangement of the resulting dichlorolactone.
