A concise total synthesis of cochlearoid B

Org Biomol Chem. 2018 May 9;16(18):3358-3361. doi: 10.1039/c8ob00615f.

Abstract

A T-type calcium channel inhibiting natural product cochlearoid B was synthesized for the first time in 7 linear steps via a convergent strategy exploiting the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling and the acid promoted Prins cyclization cascade. This strategy allows rapid access to its structural analogues for further therapeutical development.
