Popis: [reaction: see text] Two short synthetic approaches toward cryptophycin unit A comprise a catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation as the sole source of chirality, while all further stereogenic centers are introduced under substrate control. The key step of the first route is a vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol addition, which introduces the alpha,beta-unsaturated ester moiety with defined configuration at the delta-carbon atom. Likewise, allylation with allyltributylstannane diastereoselectively gives the homoallylic alcohol that can be converted by a metathesis reaction to a unit A precursor.
