Synthetic approach to analogues of the original structure of sclerophytin A

A route to analogues of the original structure of sclerophytin A is described. The β-anomer of dideoxyribosyl nitriles 10a,b (prepared from glutamic acid) was converted into the methyl ketone 11. Addition of a silylated acetylide to 11 in diethyl ether/trimethylamine gave mainly 22a. Alkylation with methallyl halide and ozonolysis gave the ketone 24, which was then converted by hydrogenation and a second ozonolysis into the keto aldehyde 26. A two-step aldol process afforded the desired 3-pyrone 27 in good overall yield. However, several methods for the conversion of this enone 27 into the desired sclerophytin analogue 2 failed.
Stereoselective Synthesis of Oligo(tetrahydrofurans): Linear and Convergent Routes to Bi- and Tetrahydrofurans

The "dimeric" and "trimeric" oligo(tetrahydrofurans) (oligo-THFs) 24, 28, 32, and 38 were synthesized stereoselectively according to a linear and a convergent synthetic strategy.The oligo-THFs thus obtained are important intermediates for the synthesis of artificial ion channels.Furthermore, they can be used in the total synthesis of Annonaceae acetogenins, a class of natural occurring oligo-THFs with promising pharmacological properties. - Keywords: Synthesis, stereoselective / Oligo(tetrahydrofurans), natural, non-natural /Ion channels, artificial / Annonaceae acetogenins
Tetrahydrofuran-podands, stereoselective synthesis of trans-2,5-oligo-tetrahydrofurans
Koert, Ulrich,Stein, Matthias,Harms, Klaus
, p. 2299 - 2302 (2007/10/02)
Enantiomerically pure THF-podands 1 were synthesized along a linear route starting from lactone 3. A high degree of stereochemical control was achieved by chelation controlled addition of the functionalized Grignard reagent 7 to α-alkoxy-aldehydes of type 6.
