摘要:
The asymmetric synthesis of (6S,8R)-, (6S,8S)-, (6R,8S)- and (6R,8R)-heptacosane-6,8-diols from (2S)-, (2R)-1-[(R)-p-tolylsulfinyl]-2-heptanols and 1-icosanal is described.
摘要:
A chiral Grignard reagent with the metal-bearing carbon atom as the sole stereogenic center has been generated by asymmetric synthesis in >90 % ee (see scheme). Such reagents allow the elucidation of the stereochemical course of subsequent reactions (such as the shown oxidation), which provides hints to the mechanism (electron transfer reactions or polar additions).
摘要:
The total synthesis of the antitumor marine macrolide phorboxazole B (1) has been realized. The phorboxazoles are representative of a new structural class of macrolides and are among the most cytostatic natural products known: inhibiting the growth of tumor cells at nanomolar concentrations. Key fragment couplings include a highly selective double stereodifferentiating aldol reaction, a metalated-oxazole alkylation, and an oxazole-stabilized Wittig olefination. Following macrocyclization, a highly stereoselective chelation-controlled addition of a side-chain alkenyl metal species provides the full carbon framework of phorboxazole B.
摘要:
The asymmetric synthesis of the unlabeled and [D-8]-labeled terminal precursors, 4 ((-)-(S)-dihydroxyverbacine) and 19, respectively, in the biogenesis of the spermine alkaloids aphelandrine (5) and orantine (6), respectively, is described. A partial synthesis of the alkaloid (-)-(S)-[(E)-4-methoxycinnamoyl]buchnerine (10) is also presented.

摘要:
The diastereomerically single chiral sulfonyl substituated isoxazolidine derivative (+)-(1) under bar (1) was prepared from L-phenylalanine via practical procedures. The acrylamide (-)-(2) under bar underwent dipolar cycloaddition reaction with nitrones and an azide with a high level of diastereoselectivity. The facial selectivity observed was consistent with the geometry optimized steric energies of the cycloadducts disclosed by MM2 calculations.

摘要:
The enantioselective synthesis of a cyclopentannulated analogue 8 of the pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotic kalafungin 1 is described. Addition of cyclopentadiene to naphthoquinone 2 which bears a pantalactone chiral auxiliary at C-2, afforded cyclopentannulated naphthofuran 4 after tin(IV) chloride induced fragmentation of the initial Diels-Alder adduct 3. The pantolactone auxiliary was then removed using lithium borohydride and the resultant aldehyde 5 converted to a methyl ketone 6 by treatment with methyl lithium followed by oxidation with manganese dioxide. The enantiomeric excess of methyl ketone 6 obtained in this manner was established to be 96% by chiral HPLC. Oxidative rearrangement of methyl ketone 6 using silver(II) oxide and nitric acid afforded lactol 7 which was reduced to cyclopentannulated pyranonaphthoquinone 8 using triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid.
摘要:
The enantioselective ruthenium promoted hydrogenation of beta-keto ester, derived from (S)- or (R)-proline and (S)-pipecolic acid, provided a new efficient route to hydroxylated pyrrolizidine or indolizidine ring systems in diastereomeric excesses up to 99%. A practical synthesis of (+)-alpha-conhydrine is also reported. (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss,Inc.
