Studies in the benzannulation of a cycloalkynone: an approach to the synthesis of antibiotics containing the benz[a]anthracene core structure
摘要:
The chromium(0)-carbene complex benzannulation reaction was shown to be applicable to cyclodec-4-yn-1-one. Significant regioselectivity was realized in this reaction with ortho-substituted benzylchromium complexes. Reactions of a novel resultant fused cyclodecenone-naphthoquinone with several bases have been studied. Products apparently arising from either intramolecular Michael addition of a ketone enolate to the quinone or intramolecular aldol condensation of a quinone-stabilized anion with the ketone have been observed. The latter mode constitutes a route to the title substructure and, in principle, provides a route to reach certain angucycline antibiotics.
