Highly Stereoselective Aldol Reactions in the Total Syntheses of Complex Natural Products
Publication History
Publication Date:
15 January 2009 (online)
Abstract
More than ever, it is a challenging objective in synthetic chemistry to create efficient access to biologically active compounds. In particular, one structural element which is frequently incorporated in the framework of complex natural products is a β-hydroxy ketone. In this context, the aldol reaction as the most important transformation to generate this structural element not only creates new C-C bonds but also establishes stereogenic centers. In recent years, a large variety of highly selective methodologies for aldol and aldol-type reactions has been put forward. On this background, the vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction became a pivotal transformation since it also allows for the immediate transformation of the olefin which is simultaneously introduced. This Account covers the application of various (vinylogous) aldol reactions from our laboratories in the syntheses of natural products with important bio-logical activities.
