โฆ Synopsis
The asymmetric syntheses of two anticancer natural products, candenatenins B and C, are described, leading to a revision of the originally assigned stereochemistries. The syntheses follow a Diels-Alder/ retro-Diels Alder strategy using a chiral anthracene auxiliary to access both targets with 90% ee. The inherent structural qualities of the auxiliary allow for both regio-and diastereoselective transformations.
