Abstract
A linear approach to the total synthesis of racemic fredericamycin A (1) through the oxidative intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of a (phenylthio)acetylene-cobalt complex is described, which is applicable for the asymmetric total synthesis of naturally occuring 1. The highlight of this work is the aromatic Pummerer-type reaction with 1-ethoxyvinyl chloroacetate, which effects the introduction of the oxygen functional group to the internal B-ring of the highly functionalized, congested polyaromatic ABC-ring moiety.
