Abstract

A concise stereoselective total synthesis of (-) - Cephalosporolide D, an eight membered lactone ring has been derived from low cost and easily available starting material (±)-propylene epoxide. The key steps involved in this concise synthesis are Sharpless kinetic resolution, Grignard reaction and Yamaguchi macrolactonisation.

Keywords: (±)-propylene epoxide, sharpless kinetic resolution, yamaguchi macrolactonisation, stereoselective synthesis and (-) - cephalosporolide D.
