Mb. Cid et G. Pattenden, Towards the synthesis of amphidinolide B. An intramolecular Stille coupling approach, TETRAHEDR L, 41(38), 2000, pp. 7373-7378
A synthetic approach towards the cytotoxic polyene polyol macrolide amphidi
nolide B (1), based on elaboration of the C-1-C-13 carboxylic acid 4 and th
e C-14-C-25 alcohol 3 units, their esterification to the iodostannyl ester
2, and an intramolecular Stille sp(2)-sp(2) coupling reaction, is described
. In spite of adequate precedent and model experiments, circumstances consp
ired and the aforementioned coupling reaction was not realised in this case
