Stereoselective synthesis of key acyclic skeleton of structurally challenging and biologically active boscartin A possessing six stereogenic centers, among which three are tertiary, has been achieved for the first time. The synthetic study comprises the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation (SAE) followed by stereoselective epoxide opening for installation of C-11 and C-12 centers, Meyer-Schuster rearrangement followed by intramolecular oxa-Michael addition for construction of C-1 center, SAE followed by CBS reduction and subsequent cycloetherification for stereoselective generation of C-3, C-4 and C-7 centers, Gilman reaction for introduction of C-9 olefin and Grignard reaction for installation of C-8 olefin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
