P. Garner et al., STEREOCONTROLLED AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF THE BRANCHED 6-AMINO-4,6-DEOXYHEPTOPYRANURONIC ACID COMPONENT OF AMIPURIMYCIN, Tetrahedron, 54(32), 1998, pp. 9303-9316
A stereocontrolled and enantioselective synthesis of the branched 6-am
ino-4,6-deoxyheptopyranuronic acid component of amipurimycin is report
ed. Key stages in the synthesis include the stereodivergent assembly o
f rile dihydropyrones 12 and 14 from serinal derivatives (S)-10 and (R
)-10, elaboration of the tetrahydropyran ring to give 26 and 31, and f
inally, introduction of the cis-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid moi
ety to produce the diastereomeric peptides 28/29 and 32/33. (C) 1998 E
