Contiguous stereogenic quaternary carbons: A daunting challenge in natural products synthesis

Emily A. Peterson, and Larry E. Overman {dagger}

Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-2025

Edited by Kyriacos C. Nicolaou, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA and approved May 20, 2004 (received for review April 6, 2004)

One element of structure that invariably increases the difficulty of a chemical synthesis is the presence in the target molecule of contiguous all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. This Perspective will examine the most useful transformations and strategies devised recently for directly assembling this structural unit.
