Synthesis of a cyanobacterial sulfolipid: confirmation of its structure, stereochemistry and anti-HIV-1 activity
摘要:
The total synthesis of a cyanobacterial sulfolipid is described. The key steps involve the epoxidation of a glycal followed by conversion to a 1-beta-fluoro-2-alpha-hydroxy moiety. After protection of the alcohol, the anomeric beta-fluoro substituent is used to fashion an alpha-glycoside of a glycerol. A sulfonic acid is introduced at the 6-position by oxidation of a thioacetate with Oxone in the presence of a triene subunit.
