Abstract
The fully substituted cyclopentenedione core of madindoline A (1) and B (2) as potent and selective inhibitor of IL-6 has been synthesized efficiently. The quaternary carbon center C-2′ was constructed on the basis of a newly developed AlEt3-promoted tandem reductive rearrangement of α-hydroxy epoxides.
