Stereoselective synthesis of spirotryprostatin A

Abstract

The asymmetric synthesis of spirotryprostatin A was achieved by employing an intramolecular Heck reaction to introduce the quaternary spiro center. The stereochemistry of the reaction was controlled by a tethering system, which was selectively introduced by taking advantage of the unique and as yet mysterious characteristics of the cyclo-(Pro–Pro) diketopiperazine moiety.
