Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) L-Proline-mediated α-aminoxylation is a key step in the enantio- and diastereoselective total syntheses of fumagillin, ovalicin, and related compounds (see scheme). These compounds contain a cyclohexane ring, two epoxides, and five or six contiguous stereogenic centers, and they display anti-angiogenesis or immunosuppressive properties.
