An ammonia-triggered stereocontrolled conversion of a ?-lactone to the central tetrahydropyran of pederin, psymberin, and onnamides D-F
An ammonia-triggered stereocontrolled conversion of a ?-lactone to the central tetrahydropyran of pederin, psymberin, and onnamides D-F
The onnamides, pederin, and psymberin have each attracted attention because of their potent biological activity and interesting structural features. A short (eight steps) and efficient stereocontrolled route to the central tetrahydropyran ring in these natural products has been developed from (S)-malic acid. The key sequence involves the conversion of a ?-lactone to a tetrahydropyran structure triggered by the addition of ammonia.

Abstract
The onnamides, pederin, and psymberin have each attracted attention because of their potent biological activity and interesting structural features. A short (eight steps) and efficient stereocontrolled route to the central tetrahydropyran ring in these natural products has been developed from (S)-malic acid. The key sequence involves the conversion of a ?-lactone to a tetrahydropyran structure triggered by the addition of ammonia.
