Donor–Acceptor Substituted Cyclopropane to Butanolide and Butenolide Natural Products: Enantiospecific First Total Synthesis of (+)-Hydroxyancepsenolide
摘要:
An oxygen substituted donoracceptor cyclopropane (DAC) is used as a common intermediate in the enantiospecific collective total synthesis of butanolide- and butenolide-based natural products like (+)-juruenolide C and D, (+)-blastmycinone, (+)-antimycinone, and (+)-ancepsenolide. Enantiospecific first total syntheses of (+)-hydroxyancepsenolide and its acetate are achieved confirming their absolute stereochemistry.

Diastereomeric gamma-dilactones isolated from Pterogorgia spp allowed the establishment of C-13 NMR-based empirical rules to determine the relative stereochemistry of 3-alkyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2(5H)-dihydrofuranones, gamma-lactone moieties ubiquitous in many bioactive synthetic and natural products. An NMR-based method using Pirkle's reagent at low temperature allowed the absolute configuration of the naturally occurring dibutenolides to be unambiguously determined. A biogenetic pathway that involves oxidation of long-chain (C16:0 and C18:0) fatty acids is proposed.
