Cp. Adams et al., TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF BALANOL - A POTENT PROTEIN-KINASE-C INHIBITOR OF FUNGAL ORIGIN, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (18), 1995, pp. 2355-2362
The total synthesis of the fungal metabolite balanol, a potent inhibit
or of protein kinase C, is described. The synthesis includes a novel s
ynthesis of 3-amino-4-hydroxyazepanes via a directed ring expansion of
3-bromopiperidin-4-ones.
