The first totalsynthesis of (+)- and (−)-pericosine A has been achieved, enabling the revision and determination of the absoluteconfiguration of this antitumor natural product as methyl (3S,4S,5S,6S)-6-chloro-3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate. Every step of this totalsynthesis proceeded well with excellent stereoselectivity. Structures of the intermediates in crucial steps were confirmed

Employed as a common chiral starting material, (-)-quinic acid (7) was converted in a concise manner to both enantiomers of the beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone 12. On the one hand, (+)-12 was obtained by stereospecific borohydride reduction of the conjugated ketone intermediate 9, transketalization, and oxidation of the derived homoallylic alcohol using the Dess-Martin periodinane reagent. Alternatively, dehydration of the tertiary alcohol 13 and oxidation of the free hydroxyl group in 14 furnished (-)-12 in good overall yield. Reaction of (+)-12 with dichlorocerium TMS acetylide was followed by Pd(0)-assisted construction of the acyclic enediyne 21. Cyclization of this intermediate on treatment with KHMDS proved efficient, providing the esperamicin intermediate (-)-22 in 60% isolated yield. In an identical fashion -)-12 was converted to the enantiomeric bicyclic enediyne (+)-22. Subsequent liberation of the diol system, and selective oxidation of the allylic alcohol in 25 gave ketone 26. Reaction of this intermediate with Ph(2)S=NH monohydrate gave aziridine 27 which was readily converted to its carbamate derivative 28 in preparation for aziridine ring opening.

The conversion of keto ester 1, obtained in either enantiomeric form from (-)-quinic acid to its corresponding enol silyl ether 4 was examined as the first step to construct the allyl trisulfide unit found in esperamicin A,. Under different conditions a very facile dimerization of either 4 or enolate 10 to give compound 14 was observed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
