Claims2
A method comprising one or more of steps A, C, D, E, E′, F, F′, G, G′, H, I, J, K, L, M, and N:
- (A)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a sixteenth solvent, thereby forming a thirteenth product mixture comprising
- (C)
- wherein Step 1 of the reaction takes place in a thirteenth solvent in the presence of a seventh base;
- and Step 2 of the reaction takes place in a fourteenth solvent, thereby forming an eleventh product mixture comprising
- (D)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a twelfth solvent in the presence of a second acid, thereby forming a tenth product mixture comprising
- (E)
- wherein the reaction takes place in an eleventh solvent in the presence of a sixth base, thereby forming a ninth product mixture comprising
- (E′)
- wherein step (1) takes place in a nineteenth solvent in the presence of an eighth base, and step (2) takes place in a twentieth solvent in the presence of a ninth base, thereby forming a sixteenth product mixture comprising
- (F)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a tenth solvent in the presence of a fifth base, thereby forming an eighth product mixture comprising
- (F′)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a eighteenth solvent in the presence of a reagent, thereby forming an fifteenth product mixture comprising
- (G)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a ninth solvent in the presence of a fourth base, thereby forming a seventh product mixture comprising
- (G′)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a seventeenth solvent in the presence of an oxidant, thereby forming a fourteenth product mixture comprising
- (H)
- wherein the reaction takes place in an eighth solvent, thereby forming a sixth product mixture comprising
- (I)
- wherein Step 1 of the reaction takes place in a sixth solvent at a sixth temperature to effect a Claisen rearrangement, and Step 2 of the reaction takes place in a seventh solvent at a seventh temperature, thereby forming a fifth product mixture comprising
- (J)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a fifth solvent in the presence of a first acid and a hydrogen source, thereby forming a fourth product mixture comprising
- (K)
- wherein Step 1 of the reaction takes place in a third solvent in the presence of a second base;
- and Step 2 of the reaction takes place in a fourth solvent in the presence of a third base, thereby forming a third product mixture comprising
- (L)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a second solvent in the presence of a first enzyme, thereby forming a second product mixture comprising
- (M)
- wherein the reaction takes place in a first solvent in the presence of a first base, thereby forming a first product mixture comprising
- or
- (N)
- wherein:
- LG is a leaving group;
- and
- the second reagent comprises one or more reagents sufficient to replace the OH with group LG.
