    Creator:
    Hansen, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    The first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin via intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition is described. The synthesis utilized a convergent approach to prepare the cycloaddition precursor 176, which was assembled by condensation of hydroxylamine 175 with aldehyde 145. Hydroxylamine 175 was synthesized from ethylene glycol (166) in seven steps. Aldehyde 145 was completed...
