B. -N-benzyloxymalimide (III) is synthesized as a novel chiral building block. Compound (III) is applied to reductive alkylation and subsequent cleavages of the N-O bonds under mild conditions. Furthermore, lactam ent-(VIa) is used in the synthesis of the mixed imide (X), a key intermediate for the total synthesis of microcolin B. -(YE, Z.-B.; CHEN, J.; MENG, W.-H.; HUANG*, P.-Q.; Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 21 (2010) 8, 895-902,
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.
