Abstract
An 18-step synthesis of the antibiotic (+)-pleuromutilin is disclosed. The key steps of the synthesis include a highly stereoselective SmI2-mediated cyclization to establish the eight-membered ring and a stereospecific transannular [1,5]-hydrogen atom transfer to set the C10 stereocenter. This strategy was also used to prepare (+)-12-epi-pleuromutilin. The chemistry described here will enable efforts to prepare new mutilin antibiotics.Entities:
