Abstract
A formal synthesis of (+)-lactacystin from hydroxymethylglutamic acid (HMG), with an alkylidene carbene insertion reaction being used to construct the key nitrogen-bearing quaternary centre has been completed. Our route intercepts that of Shibasaki at an advanced pyrrolidinone intermediate, from which the synthesis can be completed following Donohoe’s route.
Key words
Lactacystin - hydroxymethyl glutamic acid - alkylidene carbene - CH insertion
