Parallel, Stereoselective Syntheses of both Enantiomers of Muricatacin and Their Sulfur and Nitrogen Relatives Using the Silyloxy Diene-Based Methodology
Exploiting novel 2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)thiophene (1, TBSOT) as versatile carbon nucleophile and bothenantiomers of glyceraldehyde acetonide as chiral sources, an entry to bothenantiomers of anti HIV-active 2′,3′-dideoxy-4′-thiocytidine 10 and ent-10 was devised and executed.
