The reaction of aziridine derivatives having a urethane-type protecting group with several alcohols in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate afford the corresponding optically pure O-alkylserine and O-alkylthreonine derivatives via a ring-opening reaction of aziridine in good yield.
Total synthesis and revision of stereochemistry of the marine metabolite trunkamide A

The isolation of the cytotoxic Lissoclinum sp. metabolite trunkamide A was reported in 1996. After completion of a total synthesis in 1999, it became clear that the structure of this marine natural product had to be revised. We now report the first preparation of actual trunkamide A in a total synthesis that serves as an unambiguous structural and stereochemical proof. Highlights of our synthetic strategy are a Lewis acid assisted aziridine opening that was used for the preparation of the novel reverse- prenylated serine and threonine side chains as well as an efficient oxazoline-thiazoline interconversion on the macrocyclic skeleton. In addition, several stereoisomers prepared by complementary synthetic protocols serve to illustrate the general scope of our methodology and confirm the configurational assignment.
