First Total Syntheses of (3R,5R)-Sonnerlactone and (3R,5S)-Sonnerlactone

Abstract

First total syntheses of the macrocyclic natural products (3R,5R)-sonnerlactone and (3R,5S)-sonnerlactone, two new metabolites isolated from the endophytic fungus strain Zh6-B1, have been accomplished in eleven steps with 22% overall yield starting from enantiomerically pure (R)-propylene oxide prepared by hydrolytic kinetic resolution. Other key steps are Sharpless epoxidation, reductive elimination of iodo epoxide, and ring-closing-metathesis reaction for the construction of the macrolactone.

Key words

sonnerlactone - antiproliferative - Jacobsen’s hydrolytic kinetic resolution - Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation - ring-closing metathesis
