Total Synthesis of Cryptophycins via a Chemoenzymatic Approach
摘要:
A highly convergent synthesis of cryptophycins in their enantiomerically-pure forms was achieved. Our strategy consists of the synthesis of the two units 3 and 4 and linking them together to form the macrocyclic ring. The upper unit 3 was prepared from 10 in four steps, and the lower unit 4 was prepared from 20 in three steps. Enantioselective biocatalytic methodology was used to prepare the requisite chiral building blocks, (R)-11 and (R)-19. The stereochemical versatility of this synthetic approach is demonstrated by the synthesis of cryptophycin A and the four diastereomers of cryptophycin C.

The classical Corey-Chaykovsky (CC) reaction of ketones in ethereal solvents (i.e., THF or Et2O) resulted in the production of a 14 significant amount of P-hydroxy methylthioether 2 along with normal epoxide product 1. Some interesting and synthetically useful transformations of the CC reaction product of cyclopropyl ketones were also described. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Asymmetric hydroformylation of conjugated dienes catalysed by [(R)-2-diphenylphosphino-1,1′-dinaphthalen-2′-yl][(S)-1,1′-dinaphthalene-2,2′-diyl]phosphite–rhodium(<scp>I</scp>)
Asymmetric hydroformylation of conjugated dienes such as vinylcyclohexene, (E)-phenyl-buta-1,3-diene and 4-methyl-penta-1,3-diene using BINAPHOS-Rh-I complexes as catalysts (R,S)-BINAPHOS = [(R)-2-diphenylphosphino-1,1'-dinaphthalen-2'-yl] [(S)-1,1'-dinaphthalene-2,2'-diyl]-phosphite} gives optically active beta,gamma-unsaturated aldehydes in high regio- (81-91%) and enantio-selectivities (84-97% ee).
