Synthesis of 2-epi-amphidinolide E: an unexpected and highly selective C(2)inversion during an esterification reaction

Org Lett. 2007 Jan 18;9(2):307-10. doi: 10.1021/ol0628098.

Abstract

A synthesis of 2-epi-amphidinolide E (1) has been accomplished via an unexpected and highly diastereoselective C(2) stereochemical inversion during the modified Yamaguchi esterification of alcohol 4b and Fe(CO)3-complexed dienoic acid 7. [reaction: see text].
