R. Zemribo et Kt. Mead, STEREOCONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF THE CD SUBUNIT OF THE MARINE MACROLIDE ALTOHYRTIN-A, Tetrahedron letters, 39(23), 1998, pp. 3895-3898
A synthesis of the C17-C28 segment of altohyrtin A is reported. The sy
nthesis uses a coupling step between two chiral subunits, both of whic
h were synthesized from L-malic acid. The remaining stereocenters were
obtained through a combination of stereoselective reactions and therm
odynamic equilibration. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights rese
