Abstract

This project proposes the asymmetric total synthesis of (R)-puraquinonic acid, a natural product that belongs to the class of illudalane sesquiterpenes. The key step consists of an intramolecular cyclization by enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation using organometallic catalysis. In this cyclization, there is the formation of an indane with a quarternary stereogenic center and the stereochemistry would be defined by using of chiral ligands.
