Abstract

The anodic coupling of an enol ether to an oxygen nucleophile has been used as a key step in the total synthesis of (+)-nemorensic acid. The anodic cyclization reaction allows for a reversal in the way the tetrahydrofuran ring of the natural product is normally assembled and thus enables construction of the ring in a highly stereoselective fashion.
