A Kiyooka Aldol Approach for the Synthesis of the C(14)–C(23) Segment of the Diastereomeric Analog of Tedanolide C
摘要:
The challenging synthesis of a quaternary center within the highly oxygenated setting of tedanolide C can be performed via a Kiyooka aldol reaction. Here, the diastereomeric analog of tedanolide C with the configurations between C10 and C20 opposite compared to the proposed structure was chosen as the synthetic target. The tetra-substituted silyl ketene acetal provides the southern hemisphere of tedanolide C in useful selectivities, and the absolute configuration of the newly generated quaternary center was determined by NOE experiments of the corresponding acetonide.
An asymmetric 11-step synthesis of the polyoxygenated cyclohexene natural product kweichowenol A from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Uvaria kweichowesis is reported. The oxygenation pattern was installed on a linear precursor by exploiting the acyclic stereocontrol of the Kiyooka aldol reaction, as well as Cram chelate-controlled Grignard reactions.
