Abstract
A novel and efficient total synthesis of the racemic form of the sesquiterpene (−)-aristolone (1) is presented. The key step involves the cupric sulfate catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of the diazoketone 27, which produces a mixture of products, the major component of which is (±)-aristolone.Keywords
