Abstract:
A new concise and efficient synthetic method of Psammaplin A was developed. Psammaplin A was obtained with 50% overall yield in nine steps from p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate via Knoevenagel condensation and direct nitrosation as key steps. This method might be very efficient to construct a quite diverse library of Psammaplin A type analogs.
