Macrocyclization by Nickel-Catalyzed, Ester-Promoted, Epoxide-Alkyne Reductive Coupling: Total Synthesis of (−)-Gloeosporone

Ringing the changes: The total synthesis of the title compound centers around a novel strategy that employs a nickel(0)-phosphine complex and triethyl borane in an efficient closure of a 14-membered ring through C--C bond formation (see scheme; cod=cyclooctadiene). The synthesis was accomplished in...
