Regio- and Stereocontrolled Dieckmann Approach to Treprostinil-Inspired, Polycyclic Scaffold For Building Macrocyclic Diversity

We developed a regio- and stereocontrolled Dieckmann cyclization approach to the synthesis of a novel, natural-product-like scaffold that was inspired from treprostinil (UT-15). This was further utilized in a diversity-based, 15-membered macrocyclic synthesis of two different sets of hybrid compounds. The amino acid moiety embedded in the macrocyclic skeleton allow exploring various chiral side chain groups within the ring.
