Abstract

An enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-peloruside A (1) is described. Peloruside A (1) is a potent microtubule stabilizer with significant clinical potential. The synthesis is convergent and involves the assembly of C1−C10 segment 2 and C11−C24 segment 3 by a novel aldol protocol followed by Yamaguchi macrolactonization of the resulting seco-acid, selective methylation of hemi-ketal and removal of the protecting groups to peloruside A.

Rapid Access to Conformational Analogues of (+)-Peloruside A
Zhiming Zhao and Richard E. TaylorOrganic Letters2012 14 (3), 669-671Rapid Access to Conformational Analogues of (+)-Peloruside A
Zhiming Zhao and Richard E. TaylorOrganic Letters2012 14 (3), 669-671An efficient synthetic strategy for rapid access to analogues of peloruside A has been demonstrated. The synthetic route was highlighted by a simple esterification-based fragment coupling and a late stage ring-closing metathesis reaction. This convergent ...

Arun K. Ghosh and Hao YuanOrganic Letters2010 12 (14), 3120-3123Enantioselective Syntheses of the Proposed Structures of Cytotoxic Macrolides Iriomoteolide-1a and -1b
Arun K. Ghosh and Hao YuanOrganic Letters2010 12 (14), 3120-3123Enantioselective total syntheses of the proposed structures of macrolide cytotoxic agents iriomoteolide-1a and -1b have been accomplished. The synthesis was carried out in a convergent and stereoselective manner. However, the present work suggests that ...
