Solutions to Problems

In this section solutions are given to the problems delineated in the previous chapters. The answers given are by no means the only valid answers; rather they serve as examples of a suitable solution. 2.1 Brevicomins The 1,2-diol unit allows a retrosynthetic disconnection between the two oxygen functionalities using an umpoled synthon, preferably on the side of the smaller fragment [1, 2, 3] (Scheme 13.1).

Scheme 13.1 Functional group oriented retrosynthesis of brevicomin

Using an alkene as profunctionality for the diol unit opens possibilities for skeletal bond formation in the vicinity of the double bond (cf. Sect. 3.1, pages 55–56) [4, 5] beyond focusing solely on the vicinity of the carbonyl group (Scheme 13.2). a

2.2 Indolizidines The 1,3-distance of functional groups can be reached using synthons with natural polarity. The 1,2- and 1,4-distances indicated would require construction reactions using one umpoled synthon (Scheme 13.3). 1,2 1,4
