Evidence for a Trianion Intermediate in the Metalation of 4-Hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-8-methyl-2-naphthoic Acid. Methodology and Application to Racemic 5,5′-Didesisopropyl-5,5′-dialkylapogossypol Derivatives
摘要:
The metalation of 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-8-methyl-2-naphthoic acid (8) affording trianion 6 is presented and applied to the regioselective efficient construction of a series of 5,5'-didesisopropyl-5,5'-dialkylapogossypol derivatives 3 that are potent pan-active inhibitors of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins.
