摘要:
Oxetanone 1233A1 has been synthesized in 22 steps and 3.43% overall yield from 3-methylglutaric anhydride. Asymmetric carbon at C-7 was introduced by a diastereoselective esterification of 3-methylglutaric anhydride, whereas the two asymmetric carbons at C-2' and C-3' were controlled by an asymmetric [2 +/- 3] cycloaddition using camphor-derived oxazoline N-oxide as dipole.
