Abstract:Background:
A stereoselective synthetic strategy towards (+)-paecilomycin F is reported. The approach utilizes readily available commercial 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid and easily accessible chiral R(+)-propylene oxide as starting materials.
Methods:
The synthesis involves regioselective Grignard reaction, Wittig reaction, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, Barbier-type allylation, Stille coupling and ring closing metathesis as key reactions.
Results:
The target molecule is produced in a 7-step linear s… Show more
