Synthetic studies on calicheamicin γ1I—synthesis of (−)-calicheamicinone and models representing the four sugars and the aromatic system
Abstract
The synthesis of (−)-calicheamicinone (2), the carbohydrates 88, 101, 111, 119 and 120, and the hexasubstituted benzene 139, is described; these compounds formally represent the subunits of the antitumor antibiotic calicheamicin γ1I (1).
