Design and synthesis of a potential SH2 domain inhibitor bearing a stereodiversified 1,4-cis-enediol scaffold

Synthesis of a potential Src family SH2 domain inhibitor incorporating a 1,4-cis-enediol scaffold is reported. The synthetic route offers straightforward and highly selective access to the enediol and its associated chiral centers. Key steps include stereocontrolled syn-aldol coupling, amide alkynylation, and asymmetric ketone reduction.
