The first synthesis of the acyl side-chain segment of polyoxypeptin, a potent inducer of apoptosis in human pancreatic carcinoma AsPC-1, was accomplished. The key feature of the present synthesis is the stereospecific palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of (Z)-alkenyloxirane to anti-hydroxyalkenoate

β¦ Synopsis
An enantioselective synthesis of the acyl side-chain 3 of polyoxypeptins 1 and 2 was achieved by the Sharpless AE, with subsequent regioselective opening of the epoxyalcohol using a Grignard reagent in the presence of CuI, and an aldol condensation using Seebach's ester. The method reported has the advantage of a concise route and excellent enantiomeric purity, as well as starting from readily available chemical substrates and the use of inexpensive reagents.

The lipophilic side chain of the cyclic depsipeptide polyoxypeptin A (1) and B (2), strong apoptosis inducers, has been synthesised as an ester of mixed methyl ketal 18. The key step is an asymmetric anti-aldol reaction of the designed 2-(N-2-methylbenzyl-N-2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl) amino-1-phenylpropy
