β¦ Synopsis
An effective and enantioselective process for the total synthesis of (+)-brefeldin A (1) is described which start8 from the dextrorotatory ketone 2.
Bmfeldin Al (1) has long been known to exhibit an extraordinary range of biological activities including antibiotic, antiviral, cytostatic and antimitiotic effects. 2 Recently, the underlying reason for such biological activities has been clarified by a number of important discoveries includiig the following: (1) 1 inhibits protein transport in mammalian cell8 from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the golgi complex (GC)3 and causes disassembly of the GC; (2) 1 inhibit8 sialation, fucosylation, and sulfation of glycoproteins as well as transport of proteins;4 (3) 1 inhibits exocytosis and the presentation of viral proteins to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. 5 These are remarkable action8 for such a small molecule.

A formal synthesis of (+)-brefeldin A has been achieved v/a stereoselective construction of hydroxycyclopentane skeleton possessing the requisite hydroxyheptenyl side chain. The highly advanced intermediate 2 has been synthesized from the known Weinreb amide in 19 % overall yield of 11 steps.
A key intermediate, a substituted cyclopentanonitrile (10) with correct stereochemistry. was prepared from D-mannitol and converted to the Corey's intermexate (27) without a C15-epimer, which was finally transformed to (+)-brefeldin A. (+)-Brefeldin A (l), is;La:ed from a variety of fungi by several
