Abstract
Penaresidin A and B are sphingosine-related natural products that contain a 2,3,4-trisubstituted azetidine ring and a long alkyl side chain. Stereoselective construction of the trisubstituted azetidine ring is a crucial step in the synthesis of penaresidins, and all the currently reported syntheses have been accomplished by SN2-type cyclization of a precursor having a 1-amino-2,3-diol structure with three continuous stereocenters. This cyclization is strongly influenced by the configurations of the vicinal amino alcohol moieties of the precursors. This review focuses on the SN2-type cyclizations that are used to construct the trisubstituted azetidine ring in penaresidin synthesis.
