Abstract

A-23187 is a calcium specific ionophore which was isolated from Streptomyces chartreusis. The total synthesis of A-23187 and synthesis of related diacid ionophores are discussed.

[Chemical structure included in scanned thesis' Abstract, p. v.]

The synthetic approach used for A-23187 required stereoselective aldol condensations. In this regard, the development of enantioselective aldol condensations with boron enolates is detailed. The general applications of such condensations are also discussed.
