The total synthesis of methyl β- d -vicenisaminide 1 has been achieved. In this approach, the synthesis of enantiomerically pure methyl (4 R ,5 S )- and (4 S ,5 R )-4-azido-5-hydroxy-2( E )-hexenoates 2 was established by enzymatic resolution of (±)- anti -5-acetoxy -4-azido-2( E )-hexenoate 4 . Another stereogenic center was introduced by base-catalyzed intramolecular conjugate addition of a hemiacetal-derived alkoxide nucleophile obtained by the reaction of methyl (4 S ,5 R )- N -4- tert -butoxycarbonyl- N -methylamino-5-hydroxyl-2( E )-hexenoate 8 and benzaldehyde in the presence of a base. |
