β¦ Synopsis
One interesting possibility for the elaboration of the C(15) to C(29) chain of the antibiotic rifamycin S (l)l is illustrated by the antithetic relationship indicated in Scheme I. In this plan the ry SCHEME I 3 intermediate zwhich corresponds to the C(19) to C(27) chain is disconnected to a bifunctional nucleophilic carbonyl equivalent (4) and two fragments, 2 and 5 which, except for terminal functional group differentiation, a# are antipodal. In principle 2 and2might be synthesized economically from enantiomeric but otherwise identical 6-carbon precursors.
This note presents a solution to the problem of synthesis of 2 and 5 in an efficient and highly stereoselective way which was developed in these Laboratories in the period 1974 -1975.
Although it was our intention to defer publication until synthesis of the complete C(15) to C(29) chain was accomplished, the recent appearance2 of a related study prompts disclosure of our results at this time. 3
