Abstract:A convergent strategy for the synthesis of leustroducsins and phoslactomycins has been designed, relying on the synthesis and the coupling of three main fragments. The central fragment was synthesized via a regio-and stereoselective nitroso Diels–Alder reaction with an enol phosphate, followed by reductive cleavage of the phosphate to the ketone 11b. Coupling studies of this fragment with the lactone fragment was accomplished in a stereoselective fashion through a vinyllithium intermediate. An advanced synthet… Show more
