Abstract

A straightforward and good yielding route to sidechain analogues of the potent neurotoxin and neurotransmitter (+)-anatoxin (1) has been developed. Peroxy acid oxidation of the (sily1oxy) butadiene 43 derived from readily synthesized, optically pure (1R)-t-BOC-anatoxin (42) affords silyloxy ketone 44. Fluorolysis of 44 followed by oxidative cleavage of the resultant cr-hydroxy ketone 45 gives a mixture of a,@ unsaturated acid 46 and ester 41 in ...
