Total synthesis of both enantiomers of macrocyclic lactone aspergillide C

摘要

A facile approach to the total synthesis of both enantiomers of the 14-membered macrolactone aspergillide C is described. The strategy employed was also utilized for the synthesis of C4-epimers of both the enantiomers of aspergillide C. The key reactions include Sharpless kinetic resolution, Achmatowicz reaction, Ferrier type alkynylation, hydrosilylation- protodesilylation, Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) mediated reduction, and Yamaguchi macrolactonization.
