Palladium-Catalyzed Stereoselective Cyclization of in Situ Formed Allenyl Hemiacetals: Synthesis of Rosuvastatin and Pitavastatin
Spreider, Pierre A.,Breit, Bernhard

A diastereoselective palladium-catalyzed cyclization of allenyl hemiacetals is described. It permits the selective synthesis of 1,3-dioxane derivatives, precursors for syn-configured 1,3-diols which make an appearance in all of the statin representatives. The reaction allows the total synthesis of Rosuvastatin and Pitavastatin in a straightforward fashion.
Synthesis of artificial HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors based on the olefination strategy

Synthetic methods were studied for optically active 6-oxo-3,5-isopropylidenedioxyhexanoate esters (4), which could be used as a key precursor of various kinds of artificial analogs of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors. An enantiomer (+)-4 was prepared by asymmetric reduction of β,δ-diketo esters derived from the Taber's alcohol or L-tartrate followed by a series of chemical transformations, and the desired enantiomer (-)-4 was prepared by the same asymmetric reduction starting from D-tartrate. The key intermediate (-)-4 was finally converted into a highly potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, NK-104.
