Synthetic Studies toward C3‐C9 Segment of Soraphen A

Pages 1541-1552 | Received 08 Aug 2007, Published online: 24 Apr 2008
 

Abstract

The ring‐closure metathesis of the diene (2S,3R,4S)‐1‐(tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy)‐2,4‐dimethylhex‐5‐en‐3‐yl acrylate produced the dihydropyrone with the correct stereochemistry for Soraphen A synthesis. The C2,C3 stereocenters were introduced by the addition of the (Z)‐crotyl‐n‐butylstannane to the β‐alkoxyaldehyde(S)‐3‐(benzyloxy)‐2‐methylpropanal in presence of TiCl4 as a chelating catalyst to give the desired anti,syn homoallyic alcohol (2S,3R,4S)‐1‐(tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy)‐2,4‐dimethylhex‐5‐en‐3‐ol.
