Piggott, Matthew J.,Wege, Dieter
, p. 3550 - 3556 (2006)
The synthesis of the title compound, which shares its skeleton with a number of biologically active natural products, is described. The key steps are construction of a 3,4-disubstituted furan by a tandem Diels-Alder-retro-Diels- Alder reaction of an alkyne with 4-phenyloxazole, and an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation.
