Abstract

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of descurainin has been achieved by incorporating an enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, a stereoselective alkene hydrogénation, an oxidation with Fremy's salt and a regioselective demethylation with NbCl5 as the key step. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a carbonyl ylide derived from tert-butyl 2-diazo-5-formyl-3- oxopetanoate with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetylene in the presence of dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-tetrachlorophthaloyl-(R)-tert-leucinate], Rh 2(K-TCPTTL)4, provided an 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton in 95% ee.
