A five-step transformation of D-glucosamine, commencing with indium-mediated Barbier reaction without isolation of intermediates, into (R,R)-2-aminohex-5-ene-1,3-diol in 45-51% is described. The latter is a useful synthon for assembly of L-threo-sphingoid bases: long-chain aminoalkanols and aminoalkanediols with configurations antipodal to that found in mammalian D-erythro-sphingosine but prevalent among invertebrate-derived sphingolipids. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the first total synthesis of rhizochalinin C, the long-chain, "two-headed" sphingoid base aglycon of the natural product rhizochalin C from the marine sponge Rhizochalina incrustata.
描述了一种将 D-葡萄糖胺五步法转化为(R,R)-2-氨基己-5-烯-1,3-二醇的方法,该方法起始于无需分离中间体的铟介导的 Barbier 反应,产率为 45-51%。后者是组装 L-苏式鞘氨醇碱基的有用前体:长链氨基烷醇和氨基烷二醇,其构型与哺乳动物 D-赤式鞘氨醇相反,但在无脊椎动物衍生的鞘脂中很常见。该方法的实用性通过天然产物 Rhizochalina incrustata 中 Rhizochalinin C 的第一个全合成得到了证明,Rhizochalinin C 是海洋海绵 Rhizochalina incrustata 中天然产物 Rhizochalin C 的长链“双头”鞘氨醇碱基糖苷配基。
