A Biomimetic Approach to Terpenes Isolated from Marine Sponges: a Ugi Coupling Reaction in a Hypothetical Biosynthesis
摘要:
A unique pathway for the biosynthesis of marine sponge terpenes is proposed. Based on this proposal, a biomimetic approach using a Ugi coupling reaction has been designed and applied to the efficient construction of the right-side, peptide-like portions of boneratamides and exigurin.
A unique pathway for the biosynthesis of the marine sponge terpenes, exigurin and boneratamides A-C, is proposed. Based on this proposal, a biomimetic strategy on key Ugi coupling reactions between terpene isocyanides and amino acids was developed for construction of the core structures of exigurin and boneratamides A-C.
