✦ Synopsis


The tetrahydrofuran portion 3 of verrucosidin I, a potent neurotoxin, is synthesized in an enmtiomerically pure form via the stereoselective osmylation of the chiral hydroxy diene ester 5 as a key step. The stereoselective synthesis of structurally complex tetrahydrofuran units has currently received extensive attention.2 Development of a new methodology for the stereocontrolled construction of highly functional&d tetrahydrofurans poses a considerable synthetic challenge.

From the fungus Penicillium verrucosum var. cyclopiwn, verrucosidin, a potent neurotoxin, was isolated, the structure of which was established to be 1 by chemical, spectroscopic and x-ray crystallographic studies.3p4

Very recently Yamamura and coworkers synthesized its degradation product 2 starting from D-glucose,
