✦ Synopsis


Aldol reaction of di-tert-butyl 4-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)-2-oxobutanoate with pent-4-enal using (S)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl)thiourea hydrochloride as a catalyst, followed by Pinnick oxidation and tert-butyl esterification, gave (2S,3S)-di-tert-butyl 2-(2-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)ethyl)-3-allyl-2-hydroxysuccinate in high optical purity (85% ee), from which the total synthesis of (+)-trachyspic acid, a tumor cell heparanase inhibitor, was accomplished.

An enantioselective formal total synthesis of (Γ€)-trachyspic acid was carried out using, as key steps, an asymmetric aldol reaction of a chiral oxazolidinone and a diastereoselective alkylation of a chiral 1,3dioxolan-2-one. The key lactone 3 was synthesized in five steps starting from dioxolanone 9
