Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The chiral pool approach is a highly effective and reliable method for the synthesis of biologically active natural products in optically pure form. In this project, synthetic studies toward taxol (diterpenoids possessing anticancer activity), neostenine (alkaloid with antitussive activity), and kaitocephalin (amino acid with antagonistic activity of glutamate receptor), based on the chiral pool approach utilizing carbohydrate as starting material, were carried out. The successful syntheses of these natural products revealed the effectiveness of the chiral pool methodology and brought about the progress of the methodology.
