The Total Synthesis of Epothilone D as a Yardstick for Probing New Methodologies
Haydl, Alexander M.,Breit, Bernhard
, p. 541 - 545 (2017)
Here, a concise and highly convergent synthesis of epothilone D was investigated, relying on fragments of equal complexity that could be prepared in gram scale quantities. The strategy to construct the fragments includes the use of a previously reported enantiospecific zinc-catalyzed cross-coupling of an α-hydroxy ester triflate with a Grignard reagent, the application of a hydroboration/boron–magnesium exchange sequence for the rapid construction of the Z-substituted trisubstituted double bond present in the natural product, and a Noyori-type hydrogenation to install the β-hydroxy ester moiety of the southern part. The key to success is the diastereoselective head-to-tail macrolactonization by an intramolecular addition of the corresponding ω-alkynyl-substituted carboxylic acids to construct a new stereocenter in the macrocyclic core structure in one single step.

Ruthenium complexes employing axially chiral ligands were found to be effective asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated ene acid 1-E to give 2, a prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) receptor antagonist. With [(S-B

Reaction of 2 (1) and (S)-BINAP gives cationic BINAP-ruthenium complexes of the formula Y (2) (X = Cl, Br, and I; Y = Cl, Br, I, BF4, and BPh4; arene = C6H6 and p-MeC6H4CHMe2) which are efficient catalyst precursors for enantioselective hydrogenation of various prochiral alkenic and ketonic substrates ; a crystal structure of (2) (with X = Cl, Y = BF4) was obtained.
