Abstract

The C18-C30 fragment of amphidinol 3 has been synthesized in a convergent fashion by employing two asymmetric Sharpless dihydroxylations, a Julia-Kocienski olefination and a Wittig reaction as the key steps.

Key words

amphidinol - Julia-Kocienski olefination - Wittig olefination - Sharpless dihydroxylation

Compound 8 was prepared from 3-bromopropan-1-ol in 3 steps (40% yield).

15

The starting aldehyde 11 (20%) was recovered as the corresponding alcohol after the reductive workup and no improvement in conversion was observed when the phosphonium bromide was utilized.

16

On large scale, longer reaction times of up to one week and vigorous stirring were required.

18

NMR study (see ref. 17 for literature data): A syn relationship between the substituents at C23 and C24 was observed for compound 15 (Figure  [¹] ).
