Asymmetric Allylboration of <i>vic</i>‐Tricarbonyl Compounds: Total Synthesis of (+)‐Awajanomycin

Abstract

To the core: An efficient total synthesis of (+)-awajanomycin was achieved starting with an asymmetric allylboration of a vic-tricarbonyl compound (see scheme; TES=triethylsilyl). A stereoselective alkene dihydroxylation followed by a differentiation of diastereotopic ester groups and a subsequent lactamization gave the bicyclic core structure.
