Both (2R)- and (2S)-hydroxy derivatives of (+)-exo-brevicomin 5-methyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-ol; 1 and 2} were synthesized by employing Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation as the key reaction.
Photooxygenation of 2-(alpha-hydroxyalkyl)furans at 5 degrees C in MeOH followed by in situ reduction affords, in one synthetic operation, 6-hydroxy-3(2H)-pyranones and/or 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanones. The relative ratio of the final products is highly dependent on the substitution of the starting furan substrate. Photooxygenation of 2-(alpha,beta-dihydroxyalkyl)furans followed by in situ reduction and ketalization with acid rapidly provides the 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one framework. This new methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of 2-hydroxy-exo-brevicomin.

An enantiospecific synthesis of (-)-2-hydroxy-exo-brevicomin was achieved from, (L)-(+)-tartaric acid in high yield. The key step involves a very highly diastereoselective reduction of a keto Weinreb amide. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
