Popis: Maytansine (1) is a macrocyclic natural product with significant anti-cancer activity. A derivative (4) of D-glucal is converted to a model compound (10) for the lower periphery of the maytansinoid ring via alkylation at C-6 using an allylic sulfide anion, followed by oxidation to the sulfoxide and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to the sulfenate ester. In addition, a method is disclosed for conversion of D-arabinose to a chiron (18) for a portion of the upper periphery of the maytansinoids.
