Submitted by Nicolas Millius A unified strategy for the synthesis of the C1-C14 fragment of marinolic acids, mupirocins, pseudomonic acids and thiomarinols: total synthesis of pseudomonic acid methyl monate C Problem: OH OTBS O NBS, NaOAc.3H2O NaHCO3, THF/2H2O 0 ºC, 5 min, 95% O HO 1 OTBS O 2 OH trimethyl orthoacetate propionic acid, 140 ºC 16 h, 90% OTBS MeO2C O OTBS O 4 3 OH HO CO2Me O OH Pseudomonic acid methyl monate C • • Give the mechanism from 1 to 2. What is the name of this reaction? Give the mechanism from 3 to 4. What is the name of this reaction? Submitted by Nicolas Millius Solution: • 1 to 2: Achmatowicz reaction OH O Br R 1 OH O+ Br OH HO O R R Br H O H2O N O R R O O HO O O HO 2 • 3 to 4: Johnson-Claisen rearrangement Me MeO OH OMe OMe OMe Me OMe OMe Me OMe O + O R O R 3 MeOH OMe MeO2C O O O R O R OMe O R 4 Comments: The Achmatowicz reaction is working also with a peroxide instead of NBS.
