Total synthesis of (-)-basiliskamide A and NMR studies on the conversion of basiliskamide A to basiliskamide B

Abstract

We describe herein our approach to the total synthesis of the antifungal polyketide (-)-basiliskamide A, as well as 1H NMR studies on the migration of the cinnamoyl side chain of basiliskamide A to form basiliskamide B in CDCl3 solution. © 2010 Sociedade Brasileira de Química.
