Abstract
Fluoroneplanocin A, designed as a potent mechanism-based irreversible inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH), is synthesized from D-ribose via a key D-cyclopentenone intermediate. This intermediate is synthesized using a stereoselective Grignard reaction, a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction, and oxidative rearrangement as key steps.
