Abstract

A procedure using Na[PhSeB(OEt)3] is reported for conversion of the type I epoxy ketone manumycins into the type II β-hydroxyketone variants; using this procedure, (-)-LL-C10037β and (+)-TMC-1A have been prepared for the first time; the first synthesis of (+)-manumycin B, which provides full stereochemical clarification of the natural product, is also described.
