title: Rapid assembly of the polyhydroxylated beta-amino acid constituents of microsclerodermins C, D, and E.
abstract: A very short and efficient synthesis of protected derivatives of APTO and AETD, the complex polyhydroxylated beta-amino acid residues present in microsclerodermins C, D, and E, is described. The targets are obtained in only five steps, in 23% and 16% overall yields, respectively. The key transformation involves the completely diastereoselective two-carbon homologation of appropriately selected intermediate chiral sulfinimines.
