Abstract
Lost in rotation: the concise strategy of the first enantioselective total synthesis of bismurrayaquinone A utilized traceless stereochemical exchange to form an enantioenriched biphenyl core that was elaborated in a bidirectional manner to the natural product. Observed racemization on an unsuccessful initial route prompted studies into the configurational stability of bismurrayaquinone A and related biquinones.
