Abstract: | The synthesis of the chiral core structure of the lissoclimide class of anti-tumour agents containing three rings, including a chiral succinimide subunit and an exocyclic double bond, has been investigated. The compound 7 was obtained, without the use of any protecting groups for the alcohol at C-12, via an asymmetric boron-mediated aldol addition as the key step to install the chiral centres of the rare succinimido methanol moiety. This was followed by a sequence of lactonisation, microwave-assisted amidation and imidation reactions. |
