Abstract

Im Zentrum der Totalsynthese der Titelverbindung steht eine neuartige Strategie, bei der mithilfe von Triethylboran und einem Nickel(0)-Phosphan-Komplex effizient ein 14-gliedriger Ring geschlossen wird (siehe Schema; cod=Cyclooctadien). Die Synthese verläuft über zehn Stufen in ca. 9 % Gesamtausbeute.
