Abstract

Oxatropanes from oxiranes: An expedient assembly of the compact platensimycin core is described. The synthetic approach relies on a Suzuki cross-coupling, a late-stage dearomatization reaction, and a copper-catalyzed vinyl oxirane ring expansion for accessing the oxatropane moiety of the natural product.
