Total synthesis of (+)-polyoxin J

Abstract

The antifungal antibiotic, polyoxin J 1, has been obtained (46.4%) by the coupling of a protected derivative of 5-O-carbamoylpolyoxamic acid 2 with thymine polyoxin C 3 which were prepared by a stereoselective aminohomologation strategy of sugar aldehydes (L-threose and dialdo-D-ribofuranose) employing nitrones 4 and 5 as their iminium derivatives and furan as a carboxylate group equivalent.
