The synthesis of phorboxazole B has been accomplished in 27 linear steps and an overall yield of 12.6%. The absolute stereochemistry of the C4-C12, C33-C38, and C13-C19 fragments was established utilizing catalytic asymmetric aldol methodology, while the absolute stereochemistry of the C20-C32 fragment was derived from an auxiliary-based asymmetric aldol reaction. All remaining chirality was incorporated through internal asymmetric induction, with the exception of the C43 stereocenter which was derived from (R)-trityl glycidol. Key fragment couplings include a stereoselective double stereodifferentiating aldol reaction, a metalated oxazole alkylation, an oxazole-stabilized Wittig olefination, and a chelation-controlled addition of the fully elaborated alkenyl metal side chain.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,5-dioxoesters 1a-c using Ru2Cl4((R) or (S)-binap)2(NEt3) as the catalyst gave dominantly anti 3,5-dihydroxyesters 2, which were then converted into unsaturated lactones 5a-b (ca. 80percent e.e.).The pathway of the hydrogenation reaction was also investigated by asymmetric hydrogenation of (R)- or (S)-5-hydroxy-3-oxoesters 8a-c.It was revealed that the Ru-binap catalyzed hydrogenation of 1a-b proceed dominantly via the β-diketone mode.A convenient asymmetric synthesis of hydroxylactone 3c and unsaturated lactone 5c was presented.Key words: 3,5-dioxoester; Ru-binap catalyst; asymmetric hydrogenation; asymmetric synthesis; lactone
Diastereodivergent synthesis of optically active trans- and cis-6-benzyloxymethyl-4-hydroxytetrahydro-2-pyrones via 3-hydroxyalkenyl phenyl sulfides

A diastereodivergent synthesis of optically active trans- and cis-6-benzyloxymethyl-4-hydroxytetrahydro-2-pyrones has been developed via 3-hydroxyalkenyl phenyl sulfides by employing base-induced cleavage of the glycidyl phenyl sulfide functionality as th
