Unified Strategy for 1,5,9- and 1,5,7-Triols via Configuration-Encoded 1,5-Polyol Synthesis: Preparation and Coupling of C15-C25 and C26-C40 Fragments of Tetrafibricin

Diverse classes of natural products contain chiral 1,5,9- and 1,5,7-triol stereotriads, including the novel fibrinogen receptor antagonist tetrafibricin. Biological activities associated with compounds containing these motifs warrant targeted synthetic st

Intramolecular Michael reactions by iron(III) catalysis

Seven-membered ring annulation is achieved by an intramolecular Michael reaction catalyzed by iron(III) chloride hexahydrate. Reaction conditions are mild and non-basic, and chemo- and stereoselectivity is excellent. Contrastingly, this method fails for a 17-membered ring annulation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
