Abstract

An azaspiroannulation and an uncommon Mitsunobu reaction are the key steps in a convergent, enantioselective synthesis of the title compound 1. This potent immunosuppressant is derived from a fungus and is distinguished by an unusual monophosphate ester group and a novel architecture which comprises most of the atoms of two molecules of tyrosine.
