摘要:
The stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-achaetolide is described in a convergent manner. Grignard addition, Wittig homologation, acetate aldol and ring closing metathesis reactions were the key steps involved. The required olefinic alcohol fragments were synthesized from a single chiral pool material 2-deoxy-D-ribose and olefinic acid fragment was prepared from acetate aldol reaction. Both the olefinic acid and alcohols were prepared in a concise method. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
