G. Solladie et al., A chiral beta,delta-dioxo-epsilon-sulfinyl ester in a convergent enantioselective synthesis towards the C-1-C-13 polyol fragment of amphotericin B, EUR J ORG C, (11), 1999, pp. 3021-3026
This paper describes an efficient stereocontrolled and convergent approach
towards the C-1-C-13 polyol fragment of amphotericin B. The strategy is bas
ed on the stereoselective reduction of a chiral beta,gamma-dioxo-epsilon-su
lfinyl ester to obtain anti- or syn-1,3-diols.
