✦ Synopsis
A highly stereoselective route to the CIO-CZ~ fragment of FK-506 is described.
Recently
the potent immunosuppressant FK-506 was isolated from Streptomyces tsukuaensis and its structure was assigned as the novel 23-membered macrocyclic lactone 1.1 The activity of this unique macrolide is reported to be considerably greater than cyclosporin A itself, which is currently used in clinical organ transplants. The exceptional biological activity of FK-506 has lead to extensive studies,* and the first total synthesis was recently achieved by the scientists of Merck Sharp & Dohme.3 In this communication, a synthesis of a protected Clo-C24 fragment 2 of FK-506 is reported that uses a stereoselective alkylation reaction as the key step.

The stereocontrolled synthesis of a C15 C24 fragment of dolabelides is reported. The C19 and C21 hydroxyl-bearing stereocenters were installed using ruthenium-mediated asymmetric hydrogenations of cyclic hemiketal 4 and b-keto ester 7. The C25 C30 portion of dolabelides was prepared as well by ring
