Process for preparing inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme a reductase via a chiral synthon

摘要

Totally synthetic analogs of the known inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, compactin and mevinolin, are prepared from a chiral synthon derived from D-glucose which has the same chirality as the natural products.
