Abstract

A new synthetic route for epoxyketone 3 is described, which is a key intermediate in Barton’s synthesis of ovalicin (1), a powerful anti-angiogenetic inhibitor, from commercially available d-ribose. The key reactions involved in this synthesis are ring-closing metathesis, Rubottom oxidation and Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation. The subsequent transformations are carried out according to Barton’s strategy to complete the total synthesis of (-)-ovalicin.

Keywords

ribose - Rubottom oxidation - ring-closing metathesis - Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation
