Total synthesis of (+)-polyoxin J starting from myo-inositol
Abstract
The total synthesis of the antifungal antibiotic, polyoxin J 1 starting from myo-inositol is described; the two key components, 2 and 3, were prepared from a pair of optically resolved myo-inositol derivatives 4L and 4D, respectively, using a highly regioselective Baeyer–Villiger reaction, and finally coupled to complete the total synthesis.
