AI Article Synopsis

  • The synthesis focuses on creating a specific fragment of (+)-sorangicin A without using protective groups, which simplifies the process.
  • Key reactions for building the complex structure include Noyori asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, Achmatowicz oxidative rearrangement, and a selective allylation step.
  • The resulting fragment features a dihydropyran unit and incorporates a chiral alkyl group, contributing to its stereochemical complexity.

Article Abstract

The stereoselective protective group-free synthesis of the C1-C16 fragment of (+)-sorangicin A consisting of a dihydropyran subunit with a chiral alkyl substituent is achieved. The synthesis of the 4-stereogenic centered subunit involved key reactions such as Noyori asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, Achmatowicz oxidative rearrangement, and highly diastereoselective allylation of the Achmatowicz adduct.
