The total synthesis of (-)-amathaspiramide F

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Breaking the cis rule: L-Proline and not as expected D-proline led to (-)-amathaspiramide F with the correct configuration in a short sequence of steps (see retrosynthetic scheme). This synthesis features an exception to the principle of self-regeneration of chirality and a strategy for circumventing a problematic Nef reaction in the presence of densely spaced polar functionality.
