Synthetic strategy toward the C44-C65 fragment of mirabalin

Org Lett. 2014 May 2;16(9):2390-3. doi: 10.1021/ol500720j. Epub 2014 Apr 11.

Abstract

A convergent and flexible stereoselective synthesis of one isomer of the C44-C65 fragment of mirabalin is described. The key steps include organocatalytic aldolization, ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation, amide formation, Marshall stereoselective allenylation, and the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction.
