Synthesis of 8-deoxypumiliotoxin 193H and 9-deoxyhomopumiliotoxin 207O

The asymmetric synthesis of 8-deoxypumiliotoxin 193H and 9-deoxyhomopumiliotoxin 207O has been achieved, starting from both enantiomers of (+)- and (−)-10. Enantiomerically pure alcohols (+)- and (−)-10 were obtained by lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of racemic 10, which was prepared in 3 steps from new lactam-type building block (−)-8 in a highly stereoselective manner
