Enantioselective allyltitanation. Efficient synthesis of the C1-C14 polyol subunit of amphotericin B

Org Lett. 2000 Dec 14;2(25):3975-7. doi: 10.1021/ol0063914.

Abstract

[structure] An efficient synthesis of the C(1)-C(14) fragment of amphotericin B is described. This synthesis is based on the formation of syn-1,3-diols from enantioselective allyltitanation of unprotected beta-hydroxyaldehydes.
