Enantioselective Synthesis of (+)-(2R,3S,6R)-Decarestrictine L

Abstract: A convergent enantioselective synthesis of (+)-(2R,3S,6R)-decarestrictine L (1), a natural inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis, is described from commercially available (S)-malic acid and (R)-isobutyl lactate. The third chiral center was created by stereoselective reduction of a chiral α-hydroxy ketone, and an intramolecular SN2-type reaction allowed the stereocontrolled formation of the tetrahydropyranyl ring.

“…Methyl ester 5 is obtained in four steps from L -malic acid as described by Solladié and coworkers. 19 Dibal-H reduction of 5 provided the corresponding aldehyde. Wittig olefination of the resulting aldehyde in MeOH at 0 °C afforded α,β-unsaturated ester 6 in 70% yield as a mixture (8:1) of cis / trans isomers.…”

“…Construction of dihydropyran 4 was envisioned by means of a Lewis acid catalyzed diene-aldehyde cyclocondensation reaction 15 . To this end, 2(S)benzyloxypropanal (14) was prepared from (S)-ethyl lactate (6) in two steps, 73% overall yield, by the literature procedure 16 . Reaction of 14 with 1methoxy-2-methyl-3-(trimethylsiloxy)-1,3-butadiene (15) 17 in the presence of BF3•Et2O, followed by work-up with trifluoroacetic acid gave an inseparable mixture of diastereomeric dihydropyrones 16 and 17 in a 1.6:1 ratio (Scheme 4).…”

“…We have also looked into the enantioselective reduction of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. We were faced with the problem of the reduction of ␣hydroxyketones in the total synthesis of descarestrictine (published recently [13]) (Scheme 10).…”
