One-Pot Tandem Coupling Method for the Short-Step Formal Synthesis of Riccardin C

One-pot reactions reduce reagent amounts and circumvent process treatments, such as work-up and purifications in multi-step reactions. In this study, we achieved the formal total synthesis of riccardin C through a one-pot reaction by simultaneously linking four units through two Sonogashira coupling reactions and one Suzuki coupling reaction, followed by reduction and deprotection. Thus, this one-pot method comprised five steps and did not require the purification of intermediate reaction mixtures, which saves resources, such as reagents and solvents, and expedites the work process.
