An avenue to the sordarin core adaptable to analog synthesis

Org Lett. 2007 Oct 11;9(21):4119-22. doi: 10.1021/ol701547r. Epub 2007 Sep 20.

Abstract

We describe a synthesis of ketones 3 (X = O-R or CN; Y = H or alkyl), which are useful building blocks for the preparation of analogs of the potent antifungal agent sordarin, 1. Congeners of 1 constructed from 3 should permit detailed SAR investigations of the terpenoid core of the natural product.
