IMDA-radical cyclization approach to (+)-himbacine.

Org Lett

Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia.

Published: October 2003

[reaction: see text] A formal total synthesis of the selective muscarinic receptor antagonist himbacine is presented. Key C-C bond-forming steps include an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, Stille coupling reactions, and a 6-exo-trig acyl radical cyclization to a conjugated enyne. An unexpected secondary alcohol to chloride conversion is witnessed during attempted thionocarbonate formation.
