The first asymmetric total synthesis of (S)-(+)-gossypol is described using chiral oxazolines as the naphthyl substituent in a highly diastereoselective aryl-aryl coupling.
An oxazoline based approach to (S)-gossypol

(S)-Gossypol (S)-1, a yellow pigment of cottonseed, has been accessed by a total asymmetric synthesis. The sequence leading to (S)-gossypol (S)-1 was highlighted by four oxazoline mediated reactions, including coupling of ortho-(methoxy)aryloxazolines with Grignard reagents, butyllithium based ortho-lithiation of aryloxazolines, stereocontrolled Ullman couplings of bromonaphthyloxazolines, and ethoxyvinyllithium hexamethylphosphoric triamide complex based ortho-lithiation of aryloxazolines.
