G. Solladie et al., First stereocontrolled synthesis of the (3S,5R,7R,10R,11R)-C1-C13 fragmentof nystatin A(1), J ORG CHEM, 64(15), 1999, pp. 5447-5452
A convergent stereoselective synthesis of the (3S,5R,7R,10R,11R)-C1-C13 fra
gment of Nystatin Al is reported in this paper. This fragment contains an a
ll-syn-1,3,5-triol subunit and a syn-1,2-diol moiety. The main features of
the synthesis are the enzymatic desymmetrization of a meso diol to obtain a
n enantiomerically pure syn-4,6-dihydroxy-2-keto-phosphonate, chiral sulfox
ide chemistry to prepare an alpha-(R)-hydroxyaldehyde and 2-trimethylsilyl
thiazole reagent to synthesize a synthesize a syn-alpha,beta-(R,S)-dihydrox
y aldehyde.
