Abstract
AbstractSalviachinensine A, a natural product obtained from the Chinese medicinal plant Salvia chinensis, was synthesized for the first time by employing Donald Matteson's boronic ester homologation. The use of (R,R)‐dicyclohexylethane‐1,2‐diol (DICHED) enabled the generation of the required stereogenic centers in a highly stereoselective fashion. Salviachinensine A was formed in a one‐pot protecting group cleavage/lactonization/ intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation, followed by Lewis acid‐catalysed cleavage of the acetal protecting groups.
