calcd for C19H16NO2, [M+H]+: 290.12, found: 290.30. Compound 5: Pale yellow
ification using isovaleric acid afforded compound 12 in good yield.
Finally, de-protection of both Cbz and benzyl groups was achieved
in a single step using Pd/C to obtain racemic SPF-32629A in 89%
yield, the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data are in agreement with
the data obtained from Scheme 1.
In conclusion, we have accomplished the first total synthesis of
natural human chymase inhibitor SPF-32629A starting from the
readily available 4-nitropyridine N-oxide employing an efficient
strategy with a sequence of eight straightforward reactions. Syn-
thetic studies toward another chymase inhibitor SPF-32629B and
asymmetric induction during the carbonyl reduction using chiral
reducing agents are currently underway in our laboratory, and will
be reported in due course.
