Title: Potentially interesting transformation
Post by: tmartin on December 03, 2009, 02:51:05 PM
So, following in Dan's shoes from last week, and as Heory had requested, here is my attempt at a somewhat interesting problem.  Hopefully it's not too easy or too challenging...


Edit: I realize the formula may be hard to see in my shrunk Chemdraw, it is: C26H31BrN2O5SSi.

As a bonus: would anyone like to name the second compound on Heory's scheme?  I'll post the reference shortly, I'm just having some computer difficulties currently.

Are you looking for endo-peroxide?

It indeed was.  I actually completely forgot to post the link.  Thanks for the reminder  :)

The paper is from 2004, a total synthesis of (-)-nakadomarin A.  I found this looking over some of my old class notes.  Interesting way to introduce the furan ring, I thought.  The endo peroxide is formed as a 1.2:1 mixture of diastereomers.  Both were taken on the the furan.

I thought you were looking for the compound's name. ;D

Heh, sorry I should have been a little more clear.  I'll work on that for my next attempt at a "problem of the day/week"  ;D
