Asymmetric Synthesis of the C(33) - C(37) Fragment of Amphotericin B
摘要:
We have devised an expeditious. efficient, asymmetric synthesis of the C(33)-C(37) fragment of amphotericin B that proceeds in 14 steps and 16% overall yield from tiglic aldehyde ((E)-2-methylbut-2-enal) with complete stereocontrol. The route described herein relies on the application of recently developed methods in catalytic asymmetric synthesis for stereocontrol through enantio- and diastereoselective functionalization of a substituted sorbate derivative.
De Novo Synthesis of 2-Substituted syn-1,3-Diols via an Iterative Asymmetric Hydration Strategy
摘要:
The enantioselective syntheses of several protected 4-substituted syn-3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic esters have been achieved from the corresponding achiral (E,E)- or (E,Z)-1,3-dienoates. The route relies upon an enantio- and regioselective Sharpless dihydroxylation and a palladium-catalyzed reduction to form gamma-substituted delta-hydroxy-1-enoates. The resulting delta-hydroxy-1-enoates are subsequently converted into benzylidene-protected 4-substituted syn-3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic esters in one step. The benzylidene-protected 3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic esters are produced in good overall yields (20-54%) and high enantiomeric excess (73- 97% ee).
