Key words

ASP9726 - reductive amination - amide dehydration - enzymatic hydrolysis of amides

Significance

An 11-step synthesis of the antifungal agent ASP9726 (13.8% overall) from the fermentation product FR901379 is described that is remarkable for the highly chemoselective transformations on functionally dense substrates.

Comment

The closing stages of the synthesis feature the reductive amination of primary amine C with dihydroxyacetone using 2-picoline·borane and reductive amination of core peptide G with side chain H using t-BuNH2·borane complex.
