CHROMIUM-MEDIATED COUPLING AND APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF HALICHONDRINS
-
Paragraph 00341; 00342, (2016/11/17)
The present invention provides unified synthesis of the CI -CI 9 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs theoreof using selective coupling of poly-halogenated nucleophiles in chromium-mediated coupling reactions. The present invention also provides a practical and efficient synthesis of C20-C38 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof. Also provided herein are general methods of selective activation and coupling of poly-halogenated analogs with an aldehyde. The provided coupling reactions are selective for halo-enone and halo-acetylenic ketal over vinyl halide and halide attached to a sp hydridized carbon. The provided efficient selective coupling reactions can allow easy access to the CI -CI 9 building blocks and C20-C38 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof with limited or no purification or separation of the intermediates.
