Asymmetric Catalysis Route to anti,anti Stereotriads, Illustrated by Applications
摘要:
A short sequence based on asymmetric catalysis, chirality transfer, and an optimized carbometallation protocol gave an anti,anti stereotriad building block in six steps. Both enantiomers of the chirality source, N-methyl ephedrine, are inexpensive, and the auxiliary is recoverable. In one chiral series, the building block was converted to the "B-2" intermediate in Miyashita's synthesis of scytophycin C; in the enantiomeric series, it was converted to a key intermediate for aplyronine A and to the polyketide "cap" for the callipeltins.
Scalable, Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Syn, Anti Stereotriad Building Blocks for Polypropionate Antibiotics
摘要:
Asymmetric catalysis and chirality transfer by the 2,3-Wittig rearrangement were combined to provide a syn, anti stereotriad-containing olefinic alcohol in five steps from inexpensive starting materials. Development of this compound, a versatile intermediate for polypropionate synthesis, gave known building blocks for discodermolide.
