Enantiocontrolled total synthesis of the diterpenoids, triptoquinone B, C and triptocallol
摘要:
An efficient and enantiocontrolled synthesis of triptoquinone B and C, which possess interleukin-1 inhibitory activity, has been accomplished employing the lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution and a highly diastereoselective radical cyclization as key synthetic steps. In addition, the first total synthesis of triptocallol has been achieved utilizing the same strategy. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Synthetic studies on diterpenoid quinones with interleukin-1 inhibitory activity. Total synthesis of (.+-.)- and (+)-triptoquinone A
摘要:
An efficient first total synthesis of (+/-)- and (+)-triptoquinone A (1), a novel diterpenoid quinone with significant inhibitory activity against interleukin-1 releases, has been completed. Birch reduction of tricyclic enone (+/-)-7, prepared from known 6-methoxy-2-isopropyl-1-naphthol (22), which is readily available in large quantities, was followed by immediate enolate trapping to provide silyl enol ether (+/-)-30. Compound 30 was converted into carboxylic acid (+/-)-4 via the corresponding enol triflate (+/-)-31 either by sequential palladium-catalyzed carbonylation and oxidation or by direct carboxylation. The total synthesis of (+/-)-1 was completed by oxidation of (+/-)-4 with CAN in 12 steps from 22 in 19% overall yield at best. A second, enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-1 was accomplished via (+/-)-7, which was prepared by (-)-N- [4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]cinchonidinium bromide (33) catalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction of 6 with ethyl vinyl ketone and a subsequent aldol condensation. The absolute structures of triptoquinone B (2) and C (3), which were isolated concomitantly with triptoquinone A from the same plant sources, were established by a series of chemical reactions based on (+)-7.
