Stereoelectronic and steric control in chiral cyclohexane synthesis toward (−)-tetrodotoxin
摘要:
The synthesis of important intermediates for tetrodotoxin has been explored. The chiral cyclohexane ring was constructed by electrocyclization from a triene precursor and by conversion to the highly oxygenated cyclohexane ring. In particular, the introduction of an a-hydroxy group at the 5 position (toxin-numbering) in tetrodotoxin was achieved by allylic oxidation with SeO(2). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
