Synthesis of (+)-crocacin D and simplified bioactive analogues
摘要:
The total synthesis of (+)-crocacin D has been achieved in 15 steps (9 isolated intermediates) and 14% overall yield from commercially available starting materials and using (+)-crocacin C as a key intermediate. A number of simplified analogues and their biological activities are also reported. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The total synthesis of (+)-crocacin D is described. The convergent asymmetric synthesis relies on the use of a Stille cross-coupling between an (E)-vinyl stannane with an (E)-vinyl iodide to establish the (E,E)-dienamide moiety followed by a mild and efficient copper-catalyzed coupling between (+)-crocacin C and a (Z)-vinyl iodide to establish the challenging (Z)-enamide function.
