Abstract
The stereoselective total synthesis of bio-active pectinolide H (1) is described. Midland’s asymmetric reduction, Sharpless dihydroxylation reactions are involved in generating the stereogenic centers at C-4′, C-5 and C-1′. Other key steps in the synthesis are Sonogashira cross coupling, Z-selective Still–Gennari olefination, one-pot acetonide deprotection–lactonization, and Lindlar’s reaction. This offers a distinctive strategy for the synthesis of γ-lactones.
