What is the role of the model C ring boronate 15 in the synthesis of the CDE ring fragment of pectenotoxin-4?
Label:chem
Topic
The model C ring boronate 15 is used as a substitute for the real ABC ring fragment required in the synthesis of pectenotoxin-4. This model compound is crucial for studying the feasibility of the rhodium-catalysed vinyl 1,4-addition.
Answer
The model C ring boronate 15 serves as a surrogate for the ABC ring fragment in initial studies. It is used to optimize the rhodium-catalysed vinyl 1,4-addition reaction conditions with the model E ring enone 19. This allows the researchers to establish the viability of the proposed synthetic route before applying it to the actual ABC ring fragment.
