Novel Stereoselective Syntheses of (+)-Streptol and (-)-1-epi-Streptol Starting from Naturally Abundant (-)-Shikimic Acid.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Novel highly stereoselective syntheses of (+)-streptol and (-)-1-epi-streptol starting from naturally abundant (-)-shikimic acid were described in this article. (-)-Shikimic acid was first converted to the common key intermediate by 11 steps in 40% yield. It was then converted to (+)-streptol by three steps in 72% yield, and it was also converted to (-)-1-epi-streptol by one step in 90% yield. In summary, (+)-streptol and (-)-1-epi-streptol were synthesized from (-)-shikimic acid by 14 and 12 steps in 29 and 36% overall yields, respectively.
