Catalyst-Dependent Syntheses of Phosphatidylinositol-5 Phosphate-DiC8 and its Enantiomer

Tetrahedron. 2008 Jul 14;64(29):7015-7020. doi: 10.1016/j.tet.2008.03.037.

Abstract

Peptide-based catalysts have been applied to the enantioselective syntheses of the title compounds, with this being the first report of the synthesis of an ent-PI5P analogue. The key steps in the synthesis involve asymmetric phosphorylation catalysis. Additional maneuvers were developed with a protecting groups scheme that enabled efficient, streamlined syntheses of these important mediators of biochemical events.
