Esterification via acid fluoride activation
Mayer,Joullie
, p. 2367 - 2377 (1994)
The esterification of sterically hindered or non-nucleophilic alcohols may often be problematic. The reaction of alcohols with acid fluorides is reported to be superior to standard acid activation protocols frequently used for difficult esterifications. T
Synthetic studies of a constrained ring didemnin analog
Mayer,Pfizenmayer,Cordova,Li,Joullie
, p. 519 - 522 (2007/10/02)
An asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction in the presence of 3.0 M lithium perchlorate-diethyl ether was used to generate the initial stereochemistry for a cyclohexane amino acid (3), a key intermediate in the preparation of a fused ring didemnin analog. This constrained ring macrocycle should provide insight into the binding site conformation of the bioactive species.
