Preparation of dicarboxylate analogues of Cerulenin

We have proposed and synthesized several new structural classes of Cerulenin analogues, which have potential as inhibitors of both fatty acid and polyketide synthase multi-enzyme complexes. These analogues contain cis epoxides bearing flanking carboxylate groups. Our syntheses have been designed to allow access to a wide range of fatty acid and polyketide-like side chains from readily available starting materials in convergent fashion in just four to five steps. In total, ～40 potential analogues have been prepared and characterized, covering all the structural sub-classes proposed, the majority of which constitute novel functional groupings.

Synthesis of an optically active 4-acetoxyazetidinone intermediate for penems and carbapenems

The synthesis of the novel (3R,4R)-4-acetoxy-3[(1S)-1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-1-((1S)-1-ph nylethylaminocarbonyl)]azetidin-2-one, a valuable key intermediate for penems and carbapenems bearing a 6-hydroxyacetamide side chain, and its diastereomer 1b

A Powerful New Stereo-controlled Method for Epoxidation of Electrophilic Alkenes

t-Butyl hydroperoxide and an alkyl-lithium in dry tetrahydrofuran are shown to epoxidise α,β-unsaturated esters and sulphones efficiently in a stereo- and regio-specific manner, while esters of chiral alcohols undergo diasterefacially selective epoxidatio
