N-Acyl-2-benzoxazolinones in titanium-mediated aldol reactions
摘要:
N-Acyl-2-benzoxazolinones readily form trichlorotitanium enolates that react rapidly with aldehydes to provide crystalline syn-aldol adducts in high yield. The resulting products are simply converted to amides, esters, and thioesters. A simple, economical synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-methylpentanoate N-propionylcysteamine thioesters based on these findings is presented. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Facile methods for preparing diketide and triketide thioesters are disclosed. The resulting thioesters may be used as intermediates in the synthesis of desired polyketides, and may contain functional groups which ultimately reside in side chains on the resulting polyketide and thus can be used further to manipulate the polyketide so as form derivatives. The polyketides produced may also be tailored by glycosylation, hydroxylation and the like. New polyketides and their derivatives and tailored forms are thereby produced.
