Enantioselective Approaches to Potential MetAP-2 Reversible Inhibitors
摘要:
Enantioselective deprotonation of 4-substituted cyclohexanones and highly stereoselective conjugate addition of higher order mixed cuprates were the key steps in a concise synthesis of fumagalone-related molecules. The origin of the (low) biological activity of the new compounds as compared to fumagalone is briefly discussed.
