Abstract

A concise total synthesis of the furano-sesquiterpene (±)-euryfuran, a bioactive metabolite from some marine sponges, is presented. The key step is a highly diastereoselective titanium (III) catalyzed radical cyclization of a farnesol epoxyderivative.

Keywords: Titanium, radical reactions, cyclization, diastereoselectivity, farnesol, furanosesquiterpenes
