An improved synthesis of sitophilure
The asymmetric synthesis of sitophilure was carried out in 8 steps, with 42% overall yield and 97% enantiomeric excess from propionaldehyde. The synthesis relied on an approach employing an asymmetric acyl-thiazolidinethione propionate aldol reaction to establish two stereogenic centers.Key words: sitophilure, thiazolidinethione, chiral auxiliary, synthesis.
