Stereospecific Synthesis of (±)-1,2-Anhydro Methyl Rocaglate
dataset
posted on 2005-09-01, 00:00 authored by Philip Magnus, Matthew A. H. StentThe rocaglates and analogues thereof have recently become targets for synthesis because of their potent antitumor activity. One of the major
difficulties has been the control of stereochemistry of the adjacent −Ph and −An groups. In this letter we show that 14 is converted into 5 as
a single stereoisomer and subsequently transformed into 1,2-anhydro methyl rocaglate 20.
