Methanol → HCID 22829433, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred, cooled (0° C.) solution of 20 mg (18.3 μmol) of Sanglifehrin A in 0.5 mL of methanol is added one crystal of paratoluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The resulting yellow solution is stirred for one hour and the reaction is quenched with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The resulting mixture is extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic solution is washed twice with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (95:5 methyl-tert.-butyl ether:methanol) to yield Sanglifehrin C as a white amorphous powder. The latter consisted of a 4:1 mixture of Sanglifehrin C and its C53 epimer, Sanglifehrin C having the (S) configuration as depicted below (R=Me). ##STR53##
