RT Journal Article T1 An olefin cross-metathesis approach to depudecin and stereoisomeric analogues A1 Cheng-Sánchez, Iván A1 García-Ruiz, Cristina A1 Guerrero Vásquez, Guillermo A. A1 Sarabia-García, Francisco Ramón K1 Polímeros AB A new total synthesis of the natural product (−)-depudecin, a unique and unexplored histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, is reported. A key feature of the synthesis is the utilization of an olefin cross-metathesis strategy, which provides for an efficient and improved access to natural depudecin, compared with our previous linear synthesis. Featured by its brevity and convergency, our developed synthetic strategy was applied to the preparation of the 10-epi derivative and the enantiomer of depudecin, which represent interesting stereoisomeric analogues for structure–activity PB ACS YR 2017 FD 2017 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/34594 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/34594 LA eng NO Cheng-Sánchez, I.; García-Ruiz, C.; Guerrero-Vasquez, G.; Sarabia, F.
