Tethered aminohydroxylation: synthesis of the β-amino acid of microsclerodermins A and B.

ABSTRACT: The utility of the tethered aminohydroxylation (TA) has been demonstrated by synthesis of the complex β-amino acid residue of microsclerodermins A and B. The TA provided a regio- and stereoselective functionalization of a complex homoallylic alcohol. The route includes late-stage introduction of the aliphatic side chain via a cuprate addition and cross metathesis, a tactic designed to render the synthesis applicable to other microsclerodermins.
