T. Nishikawa et al., SYNTHESIS OF BOTH ENANTIOMERS OF DYNEMICIN A MODEL-COMPOUND - NEW REMOTE ASYMMETRIC INDUCTION IN ACETYLIDE ADDITION INTO QUINOLINE NUCLEUS AS KEY STEP, Tetrahedron letters, 35(43), 1994, pp. 7997-8000
A new and highly selective 1,4-asymmetric induction in the addition of
magnesium acetylide into quinoline nucleus was developed. By using th
is reaction, both enantiomers of dynemicin A model compound were synth
esized from chiral alcohol which was prepared by lipase catalyzed reso
lution.
