Abstract:
An enantioselective total synthesis of the natural (+)‐linoxepin ( 1 ) was accomplished in eleven steps from bromovanin ( 24 ). Key steps are a domino carbopalladation/ Mizoroki–Heck reaction with the formation of a pentacyclic system, an asymmetric hydroboration as well as an oxidative lactonization.
