Abstract

Calyculin C and Amphotericin B are biologically active natural products. Amphotericin B is an antifungal agent, which has been a widely used drug in antifungal chemotherapy. Calyculin C is a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor and plays an important role in cancer research. Calyculin C and Amphotericin B contain a stereotetrad fragment. The synthesis of the syn, anti, anti stereotetrad of Amphotericin B was based on the thiopyranone ring and a chiral auxiliary strategies. The synthesis began with the introduction of the asymmetry into the thiopyranone ring via a tartrate derived chiral ortho ester, followed by a highly diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction and 1,3-syn diol reduction. The synthesis was complete in only six steps with reasonable yield and diastereoselectivity. The all-anti stereotetrad of Calyculin C was first approached through a convergent strategy but it yielded a wrong diastereomer as the major product. The linear synthesis began with a chiral boron crotylation followed by ozonolysis. The second crotylation with (Z)-crotyl trifluorosilane produced the desired anti, anti, anti stereochemistry with high diastereoselectivity.
