Part of the book series: Progress in Drug Research ((PDR,volume 66))

Abstract

This chapter derives its inspiration from the challenges presented to total synthesis chemists, by a particular group of macrocyclic pipecolic acid natural products. Although there is considerable emphasis on the completed syntheses of the main characters (FK506 (1), the antascomycins (4 and 5) and rapamycin (7)), the overall complexity of the molecular problem has stimulated a wealth of new knowledge, including the development of novel strategies and the invention of new synthetic methods. The ingenious and innovative approaches to these targets have enabled new generations of analogues, and provided material to further probe the biology of these fascinating molecules. With pharmaceutical application as an immunosuppressant, as well as potential use for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, this family of natural products continues to inspire new and interesting science while providing solutions to healthcare problems of the world.

  399. In general, Smith has succulently summarized the advantages of dithiane methodology relative to classical aldol chemistry. Namely: 1) the product carbonyl is masked, circumventing a separate protection step; 2) the aldol hydroxyl can be either protected or unprotected, via a suitable choice of electrophile; 3) the configuration of the β-hydroxyl is defined prior to the coupling step; 4) the reaction is not reversible; and 5) carbonyl self-condensation is avoided.
