In the realm of natural product synthesis, Kepler and Rehder utilized the K-R reaction to synthesize ( )-calanolide A (56), a potent non-nucleosidal human irmnunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) specific reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Propiophenone 57 was allowed to react with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate to afford benzopyranone 58 in 56% yield subsequent deacetylation of 58 gave 59. Flavone 59 was then transformed to ( ) calanolide A (56) over several steps.
