An Efficient Entry to Amino-Substituted Resorcylic Acid Derivatives for the Synthesis of Platensimycin and Analogues

Abstract

An efficient entry to protected amino-substituted resorcylic acid derivatives, methyl 3- or 5-amino-2,4-bis(methoxy­methoxy)benzoate, is reported. Both derivatives can be used for the synthesis of platensimycin and its analogues.

Key words

amino-resorcylic acid - antibiotic - arene - natural products - platensimycin
