SYNTHETIC STUDY OF CURACIN-A - SYNTHESIS OF PARTIAL STRUCTURE OF CURACIN-A AND ELUCIDATION OF THE ABSOLUTE STEREOCHEMISTRY AT THE METHYLCYCLOPROPYLTHIAZOLINE MOIETY
T. Onoda et al., SYNTHETIC STUDY OF CURACIN-A - SYNTHESIS OF PARTIAL STRUCTURE OF CURACIN-A AND ELUCIDATION OF THE ABSOLUTE STEREOCHEMISTRY AT THE METHYLCYCLOPROPYLTHIAZOLINE MOIETY, Tetrahedron letters, 36(32), 1995, pp. 5765-5768
We defined the absolute configurations of three chiral centers in cura
cin A (1), a novel antimitotic agent isolated from a marine cyanobacte
rium, as 2R, 19R and 21S, by synthesizing the four stereoisomers of a
partial structure of 1, 2-(2-methyl)cyclopropyl-4-(1-propenyl)thiazoli
ne, (+)- and (-)- 2a, 2b.
