Total synthesis and cytotoxicity of haterumalides NA and B and their artificial analogues
The total synthesis of haterumalides NA and B, potent cytotoxic marine macrolides, was achieved by using B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling as key steps. Compared to our first-generation approach for enf-haterumalide NA methy
Second-generation total synthesis of haterumalide NA using B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling
Second-generation total synthesis of haterumalide NA, a potent cytotoxic marine macrolide, was achieved by using B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling as key steps (1.2% in 33 steps). Compared to our first-generation approach, the second-generation synthesis is much improved in the yield of key intermediate.
