K. Tsunashima et al., Synthesis of the C15-C27 portion of venturicidins: a formal total synthesis of venturicidin X, TETRAHEDR L, 42(21), 2001, pp. 3607-3611
The C15-C27 portion of venturicidin X was prepared using substitution react
ions of alkyl trifluoromethanesulfonates with a vinylmetal compound followe
d by homogeneous hydrogenation. Together with our previous synthesis of the
C1-C14 portion of venturicidin X, a formal total synthesis of venturicidin
X was completed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
