Abstract

A key intermediate 14 for the synthesis of lactacystin 1 has been constructed in four steps and 33% overall yield. The key steps involve cyclization of a suitably functionalized glutamic acid derivative and concomitant alkylation of the resulting beta,beta-diketoester system, C-acylation of the cyclic alpha-amidoketone 9, and decarboxylbenzylation of 12. Alkylation of a related beta,beta-diketoester 5 was additionally achieved with several electrophiles.
