(+)-Biotin was synthesized in 11 steps and in 25% overall yield from readily accessible L-cysteine through a Lewis base-catalyzed highly diastereoselective cyanosilylation of (2R,4R)-N-Boc-2-phenylthiazolidine-4-carbaldehyde 2 and a ring closure of a cis-allylic carbonate 5b utilizing a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular allylic amination.
A Novel Enantioselective Synthesis of (+)-Biotin

A conceptually simple enantioselective 14-step synthesis of (+)-biotin from L-cysteine is reported based upon an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cyclodaddition sequence involving (i) elimination of bromide 8 to the endocyclic thioenol ether 9, (ii) thermolysis of the ene carbamoyl azide 9 to the exocyclic thioenol ether 10.Both the synthesis of 8 and the final transformation of 10 into (+)-biotin are based upon literature precedents.
