Total Synthesis of Amphidinolide Y by Formation of Trisubstituted (E)-Double Bond via Ring-Closing Metathesis of Densely Functionalized Alkenes
摘要:
Amphidinolide Y, a 17-membered cytotoxic macrolide isolated from marine dinoflagellates, has been synthesized via ring-closing metathesis to assemble the congested trisubstituted (E)-double bond. The seco precursor was prepared from readily available chiral synthons with the tetrahydrofuran ring formed via 5-endo epoxide ring-opening cyclization. It was found that the C6-keto seco substrate showed higher reactivity toward Grubbs' second generation catalyst while Schrock's Mo catalyst was completely inactive for formation of the macrocycle.
