Asymmetric aldol reactions using catalytic d(+)-proline: a new, economic and practical approach to a commonly employed C1–C6 keto-acid synthon of the epothilones
摘要:
A new approach to ketoacid 4, a common C1-C6 fragment used in the total synthesis of epothilones was initiated by direct aldol reaction of acetone with a pivaldehyde-like substance 5, catalyzed with D-proline, leading to a 2,6-diketoalcohol with better than 99% ee. Further intramolecular closure of the diketone 8 followed by oxidation of the silyl protected hydroxycyclohexenone 14 led to the desired product 4. None of the steps have been optimized, yet the overall yield for the four-step process is 31%. The use of commercially available D-proline to construct the chiral center of 4 under very mild reaction conditions provided an economical and practical method for its construction.

The present invention relates to alternative methods for producing keto-acid synthons, which are useful for the synthesis of epothilones and analogs and derivatives thereof. A general method according to the present invention broadly comprises performing aldol condensation of a first aldehyde of a general formula: (I) with a carbonyl compound in the form of a ketone or a second aldehyde having a generalized formula: (II) thereby to form a first compound having a generalized formula : (III) and thereafter converting the first compound to a protected keto-`acid synthon of generalized formula: (IV) The present invention is also directed to chemical compounds useful in the synthesis of epothilones and analogs and derivatives thereof and to methods for forming each of these chemical compounds.
