Abstract

The first chemical synthesis of pareitropone, by a route featuring application of alkynyliodonium salt chemistry, is described. The key transform initiates with addition of an alkylidenecarbene, derived by intramolecular nucleophile addition to the alkynyliodonium moiety, to a proximal aromatic ring. This addition delivers a highly strained norcaradiene substructure that rapidly reorganizes to furnish the pareitropone skeleton.
