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.
