Abstract

An efficient enantioselective synthesis of fully-oxygenated Taxol® A-ring subunit has been achieved using (-)-karahana lactone, (-)-2, as an enantiopure starting building-block and a diastereoselective allylic hydroxylation as the key step.

Preparation of (-)-3. To a stirred solution of karahana lactone (-)-2 [6] (400 mg, 2.41 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (40 mL) was added selenium dioxide (107 mg, 0.96 mmol), tert-butyl hydroperoxide (70 wt% in water, 868 mg, 9.64 mmol) and a catalytic amount of salicylic acid under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 3 d, cooled to r.t. and Na2SO3 (2.5 g, 20 mmol) and 1 mL of water were added. The mixture was stirred for a further 30 min, filtered through a pad of MgSO4 and concentrated. After purification by crystallization from Et2O-hexane, 354 mg of pure alcohol (-)-3 were obtained as white crystals (rdt 85%).
