Developing Chiral Synthons for Polyketide-Based Natural Product Synthesis via Stereospecific Oxonia-Cope Rearrangement Open Access

Abstract

Homoallylic alcohols 1 and 2 underwent stereospecific Lewis acid-catalyzed transfer of the bispropionate unit with different aldehydes. By applying this powerful methodology, the synthesis of (-)-invictolide was accomplished in a very concise manner beginning with 2 and ( R)-2-methylpentanal. We are currently working on the total synthesis of polyketide-derived mycotoxins from simple precursors, including fumonisin B1. The key features of our synthesis are the use of oxonia-Cope rearrangements to introduce C5 and C14 stereocenters and construct C1-C9 and C10-C20 carbon skeletons.
