Viridin
Sorry for being late folks.
Today’s target is Viridin, a furanosteroid antibiotic isolated in 1945 from Gliocladium virens. Its stucture was determined in 1966 by X-Ray Crystallography.
Two total synthese of Viridin were reported: from the laboratories of Prof. Rodrigo and Sorensen. Group of Prof. Jacobi also published results of their elegant model studies as an approach to Viridin. So, to the reto:
yay! it was getting late. i was afraid for a minute there that we would have no friday night retrosynthesis. that would be awful.
