Js. Panek et al., STUDIES DIRECTED TOWARD THE SYNTHESIS OF (-MYCOTRIENIN .1. ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF THE C-9-N-21 AROMATIC SYNTHON()), Tetrahedron letters, 36(7), 1995, pp. 1003-1006
The asymmetric synthesis of the C-9-N-21 fragment of (+)-mycotrienin I
is described employing chiral allylsilane bond construction methodolo
gy for the installation of the C-12-C-13 absolute stereochemical relat
ionships. In this convergent synthesis the construction of the C-9-C-1
6 and C-17-N-21 aromatic synthon subunits and their coupling through a
lithio dithiane alkylation strategy are detailed.
