A Synthetic Approach to Carbocyclic Sinefungin

Abstract An approach to an asymmetric synthesis of carbocyclic sinefungin (cSF) 2 is proposed. The sequence, which uses an original radical based chemistry for C-C bond formation, led to the immediate precursor 18 of the protected desired compound. While the overall yield is modest, it is noticeable that only a limited number of steps are needed to obtain the target compound.
