One of the key reactions of this synthesis, oxidation of benzylic position, produced hydroxylated compound 62 (see p. 22 in dissertation for illustration). Further elaboration of 62 has resulted in N-methyl 65 (p. 22), an important precursor to renieramycin A.137 p.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
