A New Efficient Route for Multigram Asymmetric Synthesis of Alkannin and Shikonin
摘要:
A short and convergent approach for the synthesis of alkannin, shikonin and shikalkin is presented. A Hauser-type annulation of cyanophthalide 26 with enone 7 affords the complete aromatic system in just one step with concomitant attachment of the entire side chain. Subsequent Corey's oxazaborolidine mediated asymmetric reduction of the above advanced intermediate, leads to the required isomer in high enantiomeric excess. Finally, a selective and high yielding deprotection protocol furnishes the title compounds as pure crystalline precipitates. Thus, a multigram synthesis of shikonin, alkannin and shikalkin is achieved in high yield and enantioselectivity.
A new general and convergent route for the synthesis of the title compounds is presented. The polyoxygenated aromatic ring system is annulated in one operation by the condensation of a Michael type acceptor with an 1,4 dipole equivalent. The chiral center of the target is introduced via an asymmetric allyl boration in high ee. Overall, the fully protected natural product is constructed within 8 steps in 35% total yield.

Electroreductive coupling of phthalic anhydrides with α,β-unsaturatedcarbonylcompounds in the presence of TMSCl and subsequent treatment with 1 M HCl gave 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalenes and 2-methyl-2,3-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-diones.
