摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) Merrily, merrily: A total synthesis of the pentacyclic sesquiterpenoid mercilactone A starting from 2,3-dimethyl-2- cyclopentene-1,4-dione has been achieved with good stereo- and regioselectivity. Merrilactone A exhibits impressive neurotrophic activity and may be important for the development of therapeutic drugs for neurodegenerative disorders. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
