The first total synthesis of the potent antibiotic anthracimycin was achieved in 20 steps. The synthesis features an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to forge the -decalin moiety, and an unprecedented aldol reaction using a complex β-ketoester to provide the tricarbonyl motif. A Stork-Zhao olefination and Grubbs ring closing metathesis delivered the /-diene and forged the macrocycle. The C2 configuration was set with a base-mediated epimerization, providing access to (-)-anthracimycin.
强效抗生素炭疽霉素的首次全合成在20步反应中完成。该合成的特点是通过分子内狄尔斯-阿尔德反应构建十氢化萘部分,并使用一种复杂的β-酮酯进行前所未有的羟醛反应以提供三羰基基序。一次斯托克-赵烯烃化反应和格拉布闭环复分解反应生成了α,β-二烯并构建了大环。通过碱介导的差向异构化确定了C2构型,从而得到(-)-炭疽霉素。
