The Concise Synthesis of a Key Intermediate for the Total Synthesis of Fumagillin­, TNP-470, and Ovalicin

Abstract
The facile synthesis of a key intermediate for the total synthesis of the antiangiogenic compound fumagillin, its semisynthetic analogue TNP-470, and ovalicin is described. The methodology employs a Diels-Alder strategy and a zinc-mediated ring-opening reaction to realize the cyclohexane backbone.
