Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Gephyrotoxin
journal contribution
posted on 2008-08-15, 00:00 authored by Marco Santarem, Corinne Vanucci-Bacqué, Gérard LhommetAn efficient formal total synthesis of (+)-gephyrotoxin is described. The key step of our strategy relies on the diastereoselective reduction of a chiral pyrrolidine β-enamino ester obtained by condensation of (S)-phenylglycinol on a protected 8-hydroxy-3,6-dioxooctanoate.
