A concise enantioselective synthesis of (+)-endo-brevicomin accomplished by a tellurium/metal exchange reaction

Abstract

A homoenolate generated by tellurium/lithium exchange reaction was employed in a straightforward enantioselective synthesis of (+)-endo-brevicomin in 70% yield and 84.4% e.e.

Um homoenolato gerado pela reação de troca telúrio/lítio foi aplicado na síntese enantioseletiva do (+)-endo-brevicomin com 70% de rendimento isolado e 84,4% de e.e.
