Stereochemically Versatile Synthesis of the C1–C12 Fragment of Tedanolide C
摘要:
A flexible synthesis of the C1-C12 fragment of Tedanolide C has been accomplished in eight steps from 2-methyl-2,4-pentadienal. Asymmetric hydroformylation of a 1,3-diene allows for the late-stage generation of either C10 epimer with complete catalyst control. Diastereoselective addition of an isobutyryl beta-ketoester dianion to an alpha,beta-disubstituted chiral aldehyde sets the C5 stereochemistry while installing the geminal dimethyl unit. Differential protection of a syn-1,3-diol is performed as a highly efficient single-pot operation.
which culminated in a formal total synthesis of the neurotrophic agent (−)-jiadifenolide. For the construction of the tricyclic core structure, an unusual intramolecular and diastereoselective Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi reaction involving a ketone as electrophilic coupling partner was developed. In addition, synthetic approaches toward the related natural product (2R)-hydroxy-norneomajucin, featuring a Mn-mediated
