摘要:
This Letter describes the synthetic studies of stereocalpin A and its C5-epimer. After various cyclization attempts, successful macrolactamization at 9-10 position was tried inorder to obtain stereocalpin A and its C5-epimer, which were accompanied by complete racemization and resulted in the synthesis of 11-epi- and 5,11-diepi-stereocalpin A. Highly functionalized octanoic acid motif of the depsipeptide was constructed by applying Paterson's aldol methodology, owing to its diversity in synthesizing various analogs of aliphatic acid.
