Abstract

Abstract Image

A mild method for Friedel−Crafts acylation with aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids using cyanuric chloride, pyridine, and AlCl3 was developed. Both inter- and intramolecular acylations were achieved at room temperature in high yield and in very short reaction times.

      The kibdelones are hexacyclic tetrahydroxanthones and potent anticancer agents isolated from an Australian microbe. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a chiral, non-racemic iodocyclohexene carboxylate EF ring fragment of the kibdelones employing an ...

      A general approach for the synthesis of 3,5-diarylcyclopentenones was developed. Key aspects of this approach are the intramolecular Friedel−Crafts-type cyclization of vinyl chlorides and subsequent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The requisite ...
