Enzymatic desymmetrization of a prochiral 1,3,5-pentanetriol derivative. Application to the synthesis of a cyanobacterial heterocyst glycolipid
摘要:
(R)-3-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-5-acetoxy-1-pentanol has been obtained by PFL catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding diacetate and has been utilized for the formal synthesis of the most widespread heterocyst glycolipid of N-2-fixing cyanobacteria.
