Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of the core structure of cortistatin A (1), a novel antiangiogenic steroidal alkaloid from Indonesian marine sponge, is described. An 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octene system, a characteristic B-ring structure of 1, was elaborated by a 7-endo selective intramolecular Heck cyclization and a subsequent acid-mediated oxy-Michael reaction.
