摘要:
A route towards the synthesis of analogues of pumiliotoxin and allopumiliotoxin side-chain is described. The C I 5,C 16 diol was introduced by asymmetric dihydroxylation using AD-mix beta of C10,C17 enynone intermediate 14, or of C13,C17 precursor 17, or by using a chiron-based route from 24. The trisubstituted alkene functionality was established using arylthio conjugate addition to ynones 16 and 27, followed by a copper-catalyzed stereoretentive reaction with methylmagnesium bromide. The approach enables access to C12 oxo systems and offers an approach towards new C14 analogues. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
