Stereoselective total synthesis of Patulolide C

Abstract

Stereoselective total synthesis of Patulolide C has been accomplished from easily available and inexpensive (S)-chiral epoxide. The key steps involved in the concise synthesis of Patulolide C utilizes ring opening of chiral epoxide, cleavage of 1,2-diol, deprotection of benzyl ether of hydroxyl acid and Yamaguchi macrolactonisation dilution conditions as key steps. The advantage of this method include inexpensive starting material, mild reaction conditions and high purity of products.
