Abstract

The C(21)-C(40) fragment of fibrinogen receptor inhibitor tetrafibricin was prepared in 12 steps from propane diol (longest linear sequence). In this approach, 6 C-C bonds are formed via asymmetric iridium catalyzed transfer hydrogenative carbonyl allylation and 2 C═C bonds are formed via Grubbs olefin cross-metathesis.

    1. In related “hydrogen auto-transfer” or “borrowing hydrogen” processes, alcohol dehydrogenation and nucleophile generation occur independently. Hence, conventional pre-activated nucleophiles are required. Such processes deliver products of formal alcohol substitution rather than carbonyl addition.
