A concise preparative method for the tetracyclic core of platensimycin in an optically active form was developed through a nine-step sequence from p-anisaldehyde without the use of protecting groups. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of several β-substituted itaconic acid monoesters, using a library of monodentate phosphoramidite and phosphite ligands is described. Two β-alkylsubstituted substrates were readily hydrogenated by the rhodium complex Rh(COD) 2BF4 in combination with (S)-PipPhos as a ligand resulting in ees of 99 %. In contrast, the corresponding more hindered β-arylsubstituted substrates did not exhibit acceptable enantioselectivities under these conditions. However, the use of a 48-membered ligand library led to the identification of several suitable ligands for these substrates, resulting in ees of 89-99%. The resulting optically active succinic acid derivatives are potentially useful building blocks for more elaborate compounds, because of the ability to differentiate between the carboxylic acid and the ester groups on either side of the molecule.
