  • Title: Second generation synthesis of C27-C35 building block of E7389, a synthetic halichondrin analogue.
    Author: Yang YR, Kim DS, Kishi Y.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2009 Oct 15; 11(20):4516-9. PubMed ID: 19754145.
    Abstract:
    A practical method is reported to synthesize E7389 C27-C35 building block 13 from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-5-deoxyglucurono-6,3-lactone (3). This synthesis relies on two key processes: (1) C34/C35-diol is introduced via asymmetric dihydroxylation with dr = 3:1, with the undesired C34-diastereomer effectively removed by crystallization of 11, and (2) the C30 PhSO2CH2 group is introduced stereoselectively (>100:1) via hydrogenation of 12 in the presence of the Crabtree catalyst. The reported synthesis is practically free from chromatographic separation.
