D. Enders et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVE AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (-)-OUDEMANSIN-AVIA [2,3]-WITTIG REARRANGEMENT OF CROTYLOXYACETALDEHYDE-SAEP-HYDRAZONE, Synlett, (8), 1995, pp. 869-870
The total synthesis of (-)-oudemansin A (1) was accomplished in a ten
- step sequence with good overall yield (20%) and excellent diastereo-
and enantiomeric excesses (de, ee greater than or equal to 98%). Key
step of the synthesis is the asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement of
crotyloxyacetaldehyde-SAEP-hydrazone [(S)-6].
