Abstract
A proposal for the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-cis-trikentrin in 12 steps from commercially available acetophenone will be shown in this project. Important reactions on the suggested route involve enzymatic resolution and a Friedel-Crafts intramolecular acylation. The reported asymmetric syntheses until now present 14 and 17 steps, i.e., the proposed route is shorter and will enable new a…
