Abstract
A linear 10-step approach for the stereoselective total synthesis of (3S,5R,6S)-6-isopropyl-3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one, the sex pheromone component of Macrocentrus grandii is presented. The key steps involve an enantioselective cross Aldol reaction between isobutyraldehyde and propionaldehyde, a chiral auxiliary mediated diastereoselective methylation reaction, chemoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ester and chemoselective oxidation reaction to get lactone. A similar strategy has been applied for the total synthesis of prelactone B.
期刊介绍:
Synthetic Communications presents communications describing new methods, reagents, and other synthetic work pertaining to organic chemistry with sufficient experimental detail to permit reported reactions to be repeated by a chemist reasonably skilled in the art. In addition, the Journal features short, focused review articles discussing topics within its remit of synthetic organic chemistry.
