A chemoenzymatic synthesis of ceramide trafficking inhibitor HPA-12.

ABSTRACT: A chemoenzymatic synthesis of the title compound has been developed using an efficient and highly enantioselective lipase-catalyzed acylation in a hydrophobic ionic liquid, [bmim][PF₆], followed by a diastereoselective asymmetric dihydroxylation as the key steps for incorporating the stereogenic centers. The further conversion to the appropriate intermediates and subsequent acylation with lauric acid furnished the target compound.
