title: Sulfinyl moiety as an internal nucleophile. 1. Efficient stereoselective synthesis of fragment a of cryptophycin 3.
abstract: A novel, efficient, and stereoselective synthesis of fragment A of cryptophycin 3 is disclosed. The key step involves the regio- and stereoselective transformation of an unsaturated ester to a bromohydrin via anchimeric assistance by the sulfinyl group.
