Abstract

The first synthesis of the tetracyclic nucleus of the Integrastatins, natural products that have been shown to selectively inhibit HIV-1 integrase, is reported. Key steps of this synthesis involve a novel cis-selective Ramberg-Backlund reaction and an unusual Lewis acid-promoted cyclization step.
