An asymmetric, SmI2-mediated approach to γ-butyrolactones using a new, fluorous-tagged auxiliary

experimental part, p. 11876 - 11883 (2009/04/06)
A new, fluorous-tagged chiral auxiliary has been developed for the asymmetric, SmI2-mediated coupling of aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated esters. γ-Butyrolactones are obtained in moderate to good isolated yield and in high enantiomeric excess. The fluorous tag allows the auxiliary to be conveniently recovered by fluorous solid-phase extraction (FSPE) and reused.

A total synthesis of cryptophycin 337 (1-aza-cryptophycin 1, 2), an analogue of the potent antitumor antibiotic cryptophycin 1 (1), is described. Cryptophycin 337 was unstable and underwent an unexpected skeletal rearrangement. (R)-Mandelic acid was used as the sole source of asymmetry for the synthesis of unit A.
