Synthetic Studies towards Leiodermatolide: Rapid Stereoselective Syntheses of Key Fragments

Abstract

The synthesis of three key fragments of the novel 16-membered macrolide leiodermatolide is described. The stereotetrad-containing building block was prepared via a Marshall-Tamaru reaction on an aldehyde obtained by organocatalysis. For a second building block, a Marshall-Tamaru reaction was used as well. The side-chain fragment containing a hydroxy δ-lactone could be obtained by intramolecular Reformatsky reaction.

leiodermatolide - macrolide - Marshall-Tamaru reaction - intramolecular Reformatsky reaction - Fráter-Seebach alkylation

It is assumed that the minor syn isomer in organocatalytic aldol reactions has the OH inverted. The configuration of the methyl-bearing stereocenter would remain the same:
