Chemoenzymatic Access to (+)-Artabotriol and its Application in Collective Synthesis of (+)-Grandiamide D, (–)-Tulipalin B, (+)-Spirathundiol, and (+)-Artabotriolcaffeate

Abstract

Starting from dimethyl (±)-2-hydroxy-3-methylenesuccinnate chemoenzymatic collective formal/total synthesis of enantiomerically pure bioactive natural products has been described via the advanced level common precursor (+)-artabotriol. An efficient enzymatic resolution with high enantiomeric purity, selective diester to diol reduction, and requisite dehydrative coupling reactions without any racemization are the significant topographies.
