A biomimetic synthesis of (−)-ascorbyl phloroglucinol and studies toward the construction of ascorbyl-modified catechin natural products and analogues
摘要:
A method for appending the ascorbyl moiety onto the framework of phenolic natural products has been developed. This reaction proceeds in two steps from.-ascorbic acid and employs acetic acid catalysis. Excellent stereoselectivity is observed during C C bond formation between the phenolic compound and dehydroascorbic acid, and the process is also chemoselective for phenol derivatives bearing electron-donating substituents in each of the 1, 3, and 5 positions. Further, good regioselectivity was also observed when phenols lacking an axis of C-2 symmetry were employed. This method has led to the synthesis of (-)-ascorbyl phloroglucinol as well as the tetracyclic core of ascorbyl-modified catechin natural products. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
