Stereoselective synthesis of the axially chiral A-B ring system of vancomycin utilizing a planar chiral arene chromium complex

Org Lett. 2001 Jun 28;3(13):2033-6. doi: 10.1021/ol010076f.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] The axial biaryl ring system of vancomycin was stereoselectively synthesized by utilizing a planar chiral tricarbonyl(arylhalide)chromium complex. Both enantiomers of the planar chiral (arylbromide)chromium complexes, (+)-9 and ent-(-)-9, can be stereoselectively transferred to an absolutely identical key intermediate 23 for the vancomycin A-B ring system by the diastereoselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction as key step.
