Abstract

A core building block 3 for (2 S, 3 R, 4 S, 5 S, 6 S, 11 E)-3-amino-6-methyl-12-(4- methoxyphenyl)-2, 4, 5-trihydroxydodec-11-enoic acid (2, AMMTD) has been efficiently synthesized using the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and the Dondoni's furan addition to a nitrone derivative as key steps. The 2-furyl group has been used as the carboxyl synthon.© 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
