Total synthesis of maltepolide F
Abstract
Herein, we present the total synthesis of the polyketide macrolide maltepolide F. D-Mannitol serves as the chiral pool material for constructing the tetrahydrofuran unit. Key steps in the synthesis include cyclo-etherification, Brown asymmetric allylation, the Evans aldol reaction, Yamaguchi esterification, and intramolecular Heck cyclization.
