A Cross-Metathesis Approach to the Synthesis of Key Precursor of the Macrolide Core of Rhizoxin D [¹]
Publication History
Publication Date:
10 September 2008 (online)

Abstract
The synthesis of key precursor 5 of the macrolide core of rhizoxin D has been achieved by cross metathesis between two olefinic fragments 6 and 7. Both the olefinic fragments are easily synthesized in a diastereoselective manner from the common precursor 1-benzyloxy-2-methylhex-5-ene-3-ol (8).
Keywords
rhizoxin D - Keck allylation - Crimmins aldol - Takai olefination - cross metathesis
