Abstract

The cytotoxic marine metabolite harzialactone A has been synthesized stereoselectively starting from phenylacetaldehyde through three different routes. The key steps were: in the first approach Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, in the second approach diastereoselective iodo carbonate preparation, and in the third approach Jacobsen’s hydrolytic kinetic resolution. In all these three schemes the triol was successfully converted into the lactone by using highly chemoselective oxidation with TEMPO and (di­acet­oxyiodo)benzene.

Key words

harzialactone A - stereoselective synthesis - Maruoka allylation - Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation - stereoselective iodo carbonate preparation - Jacobsen’s hydrolytic kinetic resolution
