Total Syntheses of Marine Furanosesquiterpenoids, Tubipofurans
摘要:
The first total syntheses of marine furanosesquiterpenoids, tubipofuran (1) and 15-acetoxytubipofuran (2), have been achieved via the common intermediate 3. The syntheses were begun by our newly improved fused 3-methylfuran construction method by the reaction of allenic sulfonium salt with the enolate anion of a cyclic 1,3-diketone. Using this fused furan synthesis, multigram quantities of bicyclic 3-methylfurans were readily obtained in only one step. The cis-fused furanodecalin system was constructed by the regioselective Diels-Alder reaction of benzofuran-quinone 5 and Danishefsky diene 4. The Diels-Alder adduct 9 was transformed into the intermediate 3 by sequential radical deoxygenations of the two hydroxy groups derived from benzofuranquinone 5.
Furannulation strategy for synthesis of the naturally occurring fused 3-methylfurans: efficient synthesis of evodone and menthofuran and regioselective synthesis of maturone via a Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions. Some comments for its mechanistic aspects
摘要:
Fused 3-methylfurans are readily obtained by the reaction of allenic sulfonium salt 1 and the enolate anions of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in two steps. Using these fused 3-methylfuran compounds as intermediates, furanoterpenoids such as menthofuran (8) and evodone (4b) are synthesized efficiently. Moreover, maturone (15) is also obtained regioselectivity by Lewis acid CatalYzed Diels-Alder reaction of benzofuranquinone (12) with piperylene. In the context with the regioselectivity observed in the Diels-Alder reaction of 12, semiempirical molecular orbital calculations are applied to gain its theoretical interpretation based upon frontier molecular orbital theory and transition state analysis.
