As part of a detailed study, the syntheses, biological activities, and pharmacokinetic properties of hydroxylated analogues of the previously described broad spectrum antifungal agents, Sch 51048 (1), Sch 50001 (3), and Sch 50002 (4), are described. Based on an overall superior profile, one of the alcohols, Sch 56592 (2), was selected for clinical studies.
Approaches to a synthesis of galbonolide B

An approach to the C(7)-C(15) fragment of galbonolide B 2 has been completed in which the diene fragment 51 was assembled from (R)-3-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxypentan-2-one 29 by conversion into the unsaturated ester 30, acylation of the sulfone 47 using this ester, reductive desulfurisation, methylenation using a Wittig reaction and deprotection. Following model studies, the aldehyde 62, prepared by oxidation of the alcohol 51, was converted into a mixture of the epimeric alcohols 63 and these were converted into the di(methylene)tridecadienoic acid 65 using a phosphine catalysed Ireland-Claisen rearrangement. Sharpless epoxidations of the alcohol 67 using either L-(+)- or D-(-)-diethyl tartrate were highly stereoselective and gave the epoxides 68 and 69 which were clearly distinguishable. Model studies using the heptadiene monoepoxide 70 led to a synthesis of the monoprotected dihydroxy aldehyde 76 so establishing a protocol for the introduction into the vicinal diol of the galbonolides. Finally, aldol addition of tert-butyl acetate to the aldehyde 78 followed by selective protection, deprotection and cyclisation completed a synthesis of the macrolide 85.
