RT Journal Article T1 Stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-Depudecin A1 García-Ruiz, Cristina A1 Cheng-Sánchez, Iván A1 Sarabia-García, Francisco Ramón K1 Polímeros AB The total synthesis of the natural product depudecin, an antiangiogenic microbial polyketide with inhibitory activity against histone deacetylases, is reported. Characterized by a highly oxidized 11-carbon chain containing two epoxides conjugated through a trans-disubstituted olefin, its total synthesis was efficiently accomplished by a novel asymmetric methodology of epoxide formation based on a new class of chiral sulfonium salts, allowing for the construction of the oxirane rings in an efficient and stereoselective fashion.
