摘要:
The first asymmetric total synthesis of MK8383 through the iron-mediated coupling reaction is described. in this total synthesis, the key step was clearly the stereoselective construction of the (Z)-trisubstituted side-chain alkene. Although this problem was seemingly easy to resolve, in fact it presented us an opportunity to evaluate the coupling reactions reported to date, and the iron-mediated coupling reaction was found to be the only effective method for the stereoselective construction of the (Z)-trisubstituted sidechain alkene.
