✦ Synopsis


One of the postulated structures of karatavic acid is confirmed via the total synthesis by means of the mercury(I1) triflate/amine complex-induced olefin cyclization and subsequent short step transformations. Stereochemistry of this new class of natural product is also established. Karatavic acid, C24H2805, was first isolated byBercutsky in 1936* from the root of Ferula karatavica (Umbelliferae), and three kinds of planer structures
