  • ) in 83% yield. Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) The lipase CRL from Candida rugosa, another species of Candida genus, was used by the Kita group in their asymmetric synthesis of fredericamycin A in 2005 (Scheme 8) [39]. Different from their previous strategy [40] constructing the spiro chiral center via
  • enantioenriched monoester 53 in hand, the synthesis proceeded toward fredericamycin A (60) (Scheme 9). Dione 55, which was prepared from 53 in six steps, underwent addition with alkyne 56 followed by acylation of the resulting hydroxy group with compound 57 to yield ketone 58. A subsequent seven-step

  • specific synthetic endeavors in our group. Herein, we illustrate the application of such techniques to three representative problems that we have addressed over the years: The syntheses of fredericamycin A, nothapodytine B, and topopyrones B and D.
