High-Yielding Total Synthesis of Sexually Deceptive Chiloglottones and Antimicrobial Dialkylresorcinols through an Organocatalytic Reductive Coupling Reaction

Abstract

Biologically important, less-explored natural products of sexually deceptive chiloglottones, antimicrobial dialkylresorcinols, and their many analogues were synthesized in very good yields in a sequential two-pot manner by using an "organocatalytic reductive coupling reaction" as the key step. Sexually deceptive chiloglottones, antimicrobial dialkylresorcinols, and their many analogues are synthesized in very good yields in a sequential two-pot manner by using an "organocatalytic reductive coupling reaction" as the key step.
