The highly enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-biotin 1 via the Hoffmann-Roche lactone-thiolactone strategy has been achieved starting from cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid 2 with an overall yield of 35%. Two contiguous stereogenic centers at C-3a and C-6a were established through a rapid cinchona alkaloid-based sulfonamide-mediated enantioselective alcoholysis of meso-cyclic anhydride 3 to afford (4S,5R)-cinnamyl hemiester 4h, the direct precursor to (3aS,6aR)-lactone 5 with high enantioselectivity. A one-pot installation of the 4-carboxybutyl side chain was accomplished by a Fukuyama coupling reaction of (3aS,6aR)-thiolactone 6 with the organozinc reagent prepared from ethyl 5-bromopentanoate.

α-Amino aldehyde 4, which is readily derived from L-cysteine through cyclization and elaboration of the carboxy group, was subjected to the Strecker reaction, which, via sodium bisulfite adduct 16, afforded α-amino nitrile 5 with high diastereose-lectivity (syn/anti = 11:1) and in high yield. Amide 6, derived from 5, was converted to thiolactone 8, a key intermediate in the synthesis of (+)-biotin (1), by a novel S,N-carbonyl migration and cyclization reaction. The Fukuyama coupling reaction of 8 with the zinc reagent 21, which has an ester group, in the presence of a heterogeneous Pd/ C catalyst allowed the efficient installation of the 4-carboxybutyl chain to provide 9. Compound 9 was hydrogenated and the protecting groups removed to furnish 1 in 10 steps and in 34 % overall yield from L-cysteine.

Treatment of a thiolactone 2 with a zinc reagent 3 in the presence of PdCl2(PPh3)2 (10 mol%) allowed installation of a C-2 side chain of (+)- biotin in a highly efficient manner, which enabled synthesis of (+)biotin in three steps from 2. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
