Base-induced and -directed elimination and rearrangement of perhydronaphthalene-1,4-diol monosulfonate esters. Total synthesis of (.+-.)-alloaromadendrane-4.beta.,10.alpha.-diol and (.+-.)-alloaromadendrane-4.alpha.,10.alpha.-diol
摘要:
The total synthesis of (+/-)-alloaromadendrane-4-beta,10-alpha-diol (1), supposedly isolated from Ambrosia peruviana Willd., is described. The strategically positioned axial hydroxyl group at C(4) played a crucial role in the two key steps of this synthesis (2 and 11 --> 3; 4 --> 5). Upon treatment with sodium tert-amylate in refluxing toluene, both the mesylates 2 and 11 predominantly gave the olefin 3. A mechanism for this regioselective elimination is proposed. The double bond of 3 at C(6)-C(7) was used to introduce a dimethylcyclopropane ring at this position. The intramolecular base-induced rearrangement of 4 proceeded with high selectivity, again guided by the alkoxide at C(4). The resulting exo olefin 5 was converted into diol 1, but its spectral data did not agree with those reported for the natural diol. The epimeric (+/-)-alloaromadendrane-4-alpha,10-alpha-diol (23) was prepared from 5 via a dehydratation, epoxidation, reduction sequence. Now the spectral data of the natural and the synthetic diol agreed very well and a revision of the structure of the natural product is postulated.
