Abstract

A synthesis of (+)-myriocin has been achieved in a highly stereoselective manner employing TiCl4 catalyzed addition of 1- trimethylsilylbuta-2,3-diene to an aldehyde and Et2AICI catalysed cyclization of an epoxytrichloroacetimidate for the construction of its α- substituted serine structure having three contiguous asymmetric centers.
