Abstract

The total Synthesis of the microbial metabolite (&)-cerulenin (1) is described. Detailed evidence for the cyclization of cerulenin to a mixture of hydroxy lactams 2 is presented. The successful synthetic approach to cerulenin uses butenolide 3 as a key intermediate. Sodium hypochlorite in pyridine was found to epoxidize the butenolide system nicely; all other methods investigated failed. The syntheses of (&)-tetrahydrocerulenin 25 and a number of ...
