Cyanohydrin acetonides have been used extensively in our laboratories as synthons for syn-1, 3-diols,[14] and this strategy has been applied, for example, to syntheses of roxaticin [15] and dermostatin.[16] The structure of rimocidin, however, does not contain any syn-1, 3-diol segments. In our approach to rimocidin, cyanohydrin acetonides would be used as synthons for β-hydroxyketones rather than for syn-1, 3-diol acetonides. Thus the cyanohydrin would revert to its earlier application as an acyl anion equivalent,[17] and the strategy is comparable to the widely used dithiane disconnection.[18] A retrosynthetic analysis of rimocidinolide methyl ester (2) is presented in Scheme 1. The macrolide ring would be prepared from two segments, an unsaturated aldehyde 3 and the complex phosphonate 4. Two bonds would be formed between 3 and 4: an ester linkage and an alkene. The ester and alkene could be formed in either order, but in general the Horner–Emmons cyclization route has better precedent and would be investigated first. The phosphonate 4 would be prepared from protected polyol 5. We planned to assemble the polyol 5 through cyanohydrin acetonide couplings. The most complex segment of the polyol chain is the C12–C17 segment 10, the precursor to the hemiacetal ring. Its synthesis, based on an enantioselective aldol reaction, is outlined in Scheme 2. An Evans aldol reaction [19] between 7 and aldehyde 6 gave the expected product contaminated with the deconjugated crotonate. The aldol adduct was most conveniently isolated after conversion into its Weinreb amide 8.[20] Treatment with allyl magnesium bromide and subsequent anti-selective reduction with the Evans triacetoxyborohydride [21] generated diol 9 as a single diastereomer. Acetonide formation did not proceed to completion, and the recovered starting material was recycled to improve material throughput. Cleavage of the TIPS group and introduction of the iodide substituent with PPh3 and I2 completed the synthesis of 10 [22] in an overall yield of 44% in seven steps. Two cyanohydrin acetonides, 16 and 20, were prepared for the synthesis. The synthesis of 16 is presented in Scheme 3 and also uses an Evans aldol coupling.[19] Aldol coupling between 11 and aldehyde 12 led to the expected adduct. The optimal procedure for producing diol 13 involved hydrolytic removal of the auxiliary and reduction of the acid with LAH. Direct reduction of the adduct led to complex mixtures. Several approaches were investigated for the selective benzylation of
