4-(Bromomethyl)-5-hydrofuran-2-one

CAS: 61934-55-2

Yuzurine is a natural product that has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. This drug has been synthesized from 4-(bromomethyl)-5-hydrofuran-2-one and propargyl bromide in the presence of a rhodium catalyst. Yuzurine is an optically active compound, which means that it can exist as two different enantiomers. The enantioselective synthesis of yuzurine was achieved by using a chiral dieckmann condensation reaction with ruthenium as a catalyst.
