Abstract

In this article, we report the synthesis of (±)-5-epi-vetiverianine A. The key reactions, including a rhodium-catalyzed coupling reaction and an oxidative phenolic cyclization, allow for efficient and stereoselective access to (±)-5-epi-vetiverianine A in 11 steps, and in 20% overall yield. The stereochemistry is confirmed by NOE studies.
