- trimethylamine to produce 21.8 (edelfosine; Et-18-OCH3). In 1987 [117] and 1988 [118], J. Hadju and S. K. Bhatia reported a stereocontrolled synthesis of edelfosine starting from the commercial isopropylidene-ʟ-glyceric acid methyl ester (22.1, Figure 22). The synthesis starts with a trans-acetalization step to
- 24.5. In addition to the stereocontrolled synthesis of AMG reported in Figure 21 [116] and Figure 22 [118], another possibility uses dimethyl-ᴅ-tartrate (25.1) as chiral precursor (Figure 25) [81]. This 8-step synthesis starts with the protection of the diol to form the benzylidene tartrate 25.2. Then
- pyridine. A stereocontrolled synthesis of 26.4 was reported by Hajdu and Bhatia in 1988. The sequence starts from 27.1 that was prepared from ʟ-glyceric acid (Figure 27) [118]. Then, the free alcohol was converted as an efficient leaving group by reaction with 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride in the

- strategy for controlling the stereochemistry of oxygenated 5,5-spiroketals. The same strategy likewise enables the first stereocontrolled synthesis of cephalosporolide E, which is typically isolated and prepared admixed with its spiroketal epimer, cephalosporolide F. Keywords: cephalosporolides; chelation
- structures of cephalosporolide E and F. Results and Discussion We recently reported the stereocontrolled synthesis of cephalosporolide H (reported structure) and its spiroketal isomer [32]. Our strategy featured the use of zinc salts to control the spiro-center using either steric biases or chelation
- tracing back to the Sharpless dihydroxylation reaction). Spectroscopic data for our synthetic material was in full agreement with the reported data for cephalosporolide E [28][29][30]. Conclusion We have completed the stereocontrolled synthesis of the reported structure of cephalosporolide H and three

- 88 upon cyclopropyl ring expansion. Nevado and co-workers [59] have also recently used cyclopropyl intermediates, generated in situ via alkene cyclopropanations mediated by gold carbenes, for the stereocontrolled synthesis of 5- and 7-membered-rings (Scheme 27). This method was subsequently applied

On the other hand, the recent resplendent age of gold has been accompanied by the emergence of iron salts as powerful alternatives in view of their inexpensiveness and environmental friendliness [38][39
