The steroidal natural product hippuristanol targets eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF)4A which plays a pivotal role in translation in eukaryotic cells. Now an efficient synthesis of hippuristanol from 11-ketotigogenin is reported. The synthesis features a rapid construction of a spiroketal unit via Hg(OTf)2-catalyzed oxidation/spiroketalization of the 3-alkyn-1,7-diol motif.
类固醇天然产物hippuristanol靶向真核翻译起始因子(eIF)4A,该因子在真核细胞的翻译中起关键作用。现在已经报道了由11-酮基生成素有效合成马尿嘌呤醇。该合成的特征是通过Hg(OTf)2催化3-炔基1,7-二醇基序的氧化/螺缩酮化作用来快速构建螺缩酮单元。
