Studies toward the Total Synthesis of Tianchimycins A and B: Construction of the Complete C1–C16 Framework

Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of the complete C1–C16 framework of tianchimycins A and B is described. Key transformations include Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons, Evans aldol, Gilman’s and stereoselective alkylation reactions.

Key words

Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons - Evans aldol - Gilman’s reaction - stereoselective alkylation - tianchimycins
