Total synthesis of (-)-mniopetal E, the common skeleton of the biologically intriguing mniopetals A-D, was accomplished for the first time. The key step of the total synthesis was stereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction for construction of the octahydronaphthalene core structure. Our total synthesis as natural enantiomeric form established the unsettled absolute stereochemistry of the antibiotic.
Synthetic studies towards mniopetals (II). A short synthesis of Mniopetal E

, p. 87 - 89 (2007/10/03)
A short total synthesis of Mniopetal E in thirteen steps is reported. Key steps are a new and highly diastereoselective lithium phenylselenide induced Baylis-Hillman reaction with Feringa's butenolide, an endo-selective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction (IMDA) and a new variant of the Parikh-Doering oxidation.
