Abstract:

The total synthesis of racemic terpestacin and 11-epi-terpestacin using the allene ether Nazarov reaction as the key step is described. All stereochemistry is derived from the stereogenic carbon atom that is formed during the Nazarov reaction.

Sharpless Epoxidation

The conversion of allylic alcohols into epoxides using the chiral catalyst was discovered by K. Barry Sharpless and is known as Sharpless epoxidation. The use of a chiral catalyst enables the formation of one enantiomer of the product in excess. This chiral catalyst is mainly a chiral complex of titanium tetraisopropoxide and tartrate ester (specific stereoisomer). The stereoisomer used in the chiral catalyst dictates the formation of the enantiomer of the product. In other words, the use of...
