A modular approach to prepare enantioenriched cyclobutanes: synthesis of (+)-rumphellaone A.

ABSTRACT: A modular synthesis of enantioenriched polyfunctionalized cyclobutanes was developed that features an 8-aminoquinolinamide directed C-H arylation reaction. The C-H arylation products were derivatized through subsequent decarboxylative coupling processes. This synthetic strategy enabled a 9-step enantioselective total synthesis of the antiproliferative meroterpenoid (+)-rumphellaone A.
