Total syntheses of the natural immunosuppressant myriocin (1) and the equipotent unnatural analogue 2-epi-myriocin (in protected form) have been achieved through a common strategy. The key transformations are the efficient synthesis of a quaternary (E)-vinylglycine by asymmetric deconjugative alkylation of a dehydroamino acid and an unusually highly diastereoselective dihydroxylation of the vinylglycine
The total synthesis of the HCl salts of two natural sphingolipid-related amino acid derivatives, mycestericins F 4 and G 5 together with unnatural ent-4 center dot HCl, starting from the four crucial scaffolds 6, 8, 9, 11 and utilizing the Wittig reaction to build the C-20 backbone, has been achieved. The selection of selective functional group interconversions accompanied with suitable protection-deprotection protocols in the coupling products 20 and 34 gave the desired structures.

We have developed a short enantioselective synthesis of (2R)-hydroxymethyl glutamic acid (HMG) starting from Garner's aldehyde using an alkylidene carbene 1,5-CH insertion as a method to construct the quaternary stereocenter. A variety of conditions were examined for the oxidative cleavage of the key cyclopentene intermediate and we found that RuCl3/NaIO4 led directly to the desired amino bis-acid product. We were also able to show that oxidative cleavage of the cyclopentene 1,5-CH insertion product could be used to produce the amino acid-containing skeleton of the sphingofungin family of natural products.

The stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-myriocin 1 is reported. Optically active epoxide 9 was converted from symmetrical cyclohexadiene 8, utilizing an enzymatic kinetic resolution. The three sequential stereogenic centers of 1 were constructed by a regioselective epoxide-opening reaction and a Hofmann rearrangement. Elongation of the side chain was efficiently accomplished by the Julia-Kocienski reaction. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
