Abstract:
Selecting the ring : tert‐Butyldimethylsilyltriflate (TBSOTf)/NEt3 treatment of alkynyl esters tethered to bicycloalkanones leads to the formation of tricyclic allenoates with total diasteroselectivity at the ring junction. An intramolecular alkynylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction promoted by a TBSOTf/NEt3 dual activation is involved. This novel methodology was illustrated by a formal total synthesis of (±)‐hamigeran B.
