Abstract

An enantioselective synthesis of an alkyl aryl ether ­portion of GKK1032s, novel antibiotic anti-tumor agents, was achieved via Mitsunobu reaction between a sterically congested ­indenol derivative and a p-substituted phenol derivative. The indenol derivative, the key substrate for the Mitsunobu reaction, was ­efficiently synthesized starting from the known indanone derivative through regio- and stereoselective methylation, Saegusa oxidation, and carbonyl transposition as the pivotal steps.

Key words

GKK1032s - antibiotic - anti-tumor agent - natural products synthesis - Mitsunobu reaction - Saegusa oxidation

This remarkable stereoselectivity can be rationalized by the consideration that the hydride attack occurred exclusively from α-face of the carbonyl group under an influence of stereoelectronic effect, which may involve the so-called ‘product development control’.

Since separation of 13α-form and 13β-form was very difficult, the ratio was estimated by 1H NMR (500 MHz) spectroscopy.
