G. Solladie et al., CHIRAL SULFOXIDES IN ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS - ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF THE LACTONIC MOIETY OF (-COMPACTIN AND (+)-MEVINOLIN - APPLICATION TO A COMPACTIN ANALOG()), Journal of organic chemistry, 60(24), 1995, pp. 7774-7777
The lactonic part of (+)-compactin and (+)-mevinolin as well as a comp
actin analogue were synthesized in an enantioselective way from a beta
,delta-diketo sulfoxide easily obtained by the reaction of the trianio
n of methyl 3,5-dioxohexanoate with (-)-menthyl (S)-p-toluenesulfinate
. The main reaction was the two-step stereoselective reduction of beta
,delta-diketo sulfoxide without any protective group.
