Abstract

of phomactin A has been accomplished by a γ-hydroxylation approach. The C ring was established by γ-hydroxylation of an α-enone. The regioselectivity was optimized by using a strong base with an oxophilic cation (t-BuLi) and a bulky oxygen donor (Davis reagent), which afforded the γ-hydroxylation product selectively in 63% yield.
