Abstract
A stereocontrolled synthesis of 18-O-methyl mycalamide B (1.5) and theopederin D (1.1d) is reported in this thesis. 18-O-Methyl mycalamide B (1.5) was synthesised first and the route was adapted enabling a synthesis of theopederin D (1.1d) to be completed. The synthesis of theopederin D (1.1d) included a metallated dihydropyran approach to couple the left fragment (1.72) and the right fragment (6.19) together and a reaction between oxirane (6.7) and a MOM ether to forge the cis-2,4,7-trioxabicyclo[4.4.0]decalin ring. An efficient large scale route was developed to provide substantial quanities of early intermediates of the right fragment (6.19) incorporating a highly enantioselective aymmetric reduction to generate beta-hydroxy ester (4.4) and a highly enantioselective asymmetric aldol reaction to also generate beta-hydroxy ester (4.4). A new highly diastereoselective synthesis of the left fragment (1.72) was developed starting from ethyl (S)-lactate (3.4). The absolute stereochemistry of an andvanced intermediate (6.20) was determined by X-ray crystallography.
