Nodulisporic acid side-Chain modifications: access to the 2″, 3″, 4″, and 6″ registers
摘要:
Efficient routes to access the 2", 3", 4", and 6" registers of the nodulisporic acid (NsA) side chain are disclosed. A mild one-carbon, Ph2C=NCH(2)Cequivalent toN mediated homologation of NsA's 3"-aldehyde permitted access to the 4"-register. Curtius reaction of NsA's 3"-acid yielded the corresponding 2"-aldehyde 4 from which the unnatural Delta(2" 3")-olefin isomer 2b was obtained. In addition, Arndt-Eistert reactions of the parent NsA permitted a one-carbon homologation to the 6" register. These efforts identified new analogues with significant flea activity and illustrated the biological significance of unsaturation at the 1",2" register. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
