Hw. Yang et al., STUDIES OF THE TANDEM MUKAIYAMA ALDOL-LACTONIZATION (TMAL) REACTION -A CONCISE AND HIGHLY DIASTEREOSELECTIVE ROUTE TO BETA-LACTONES APPLIED TO THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF THE POTENT PANCREATIC LIPASE INHIBITOR, (-)-PANCLICIN-D, Tetrahedron, 53(48), 1997, pp. 16471-16488
A concise and highly diastereoselective route to beta-lactones has bee
n developed based on a tandem Mukaiyama aldol-lactonization employing
thiopyridylsilylketene acetals and various aldehydes. (-) -Panclicin D
, a potent pancreatic lipase inhibitor, was synthesized using this met
hodology. Recent optimization and extensions of this method are descri
bed which include variation of the silyl group and leaving group of th
e ketene acetal. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
