Use of biological catalysts for the preparation of chiral molecules. 8. Preparation of propargylic alcohols. Application in the total synthesis of leukotriene B4
摘要:
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) (1) was synthesized from two chiral propargylic alcohols 2 and 3 obtained by enantioselective enzymatic hydrolysis and enantiogenic microbial reduction, respectively. Condensation of these two synthons using a rapid and reproducible method not involving a Wittig reaction led to a compound with identical biological activity to that of natural LTB4.

to alkynones was developed by taking advantage of a chiral N,N′‐dioxide Sc(OTf)3 catalyst. The reaction enables the facile preparation of enantioenriched spiro[pyrrolidine‐3,3′‐oxindole] compounds, which provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. As a demonstration, the asymmetric synthesis of strychnos alkaloids [(−)‐tubifoline, (−)‐tubifolidine, (−)‐dehydrotubifoline]
A chiral phosphine-catalyzed tandem Michael addition of tryptamine-derived oxindoles to ynones has been developed, which provides facile access to a series of optically enriched spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindole] compounds in good yields with good to excellent enantio- (up to 97% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to 20 : 1 dr). Mechanistic studies indicate that this tandem reaction proceeds via an intermolecular
Herein, a concise asymmetric synthesis of (+)-isostrychnine is achieved in nine longest-linear steps with a 16% overall yield. The key features of this synthesis include the catalyticasymmetric tandem double Michael addition of a tryptamine-derived oxindole to an alkynone to facilely forge the A/B/C ring framework, a one-pot intramolecular dehydrative condensation/lactamization reaction to efficiently

The first synthesis of the 5,5-difluoro-(12R)- and -(12S)-leukotrienesB3 is reported which uses a flexible and convergent strategy. The key steps involve a Sonogashira coupling between the bromodienone 4 and the propargylic difluoride 5; this is followed by a CBS type reduction to establish the (12R) or (12S) stereocenters. A final semihydrogenation, under controlled conditions, affords the required
