A short enantioselective synthesis of (+)-eleutherin, (+)-allo-eleutherin and a formal synthesis of (+)-nocardione B
摘要:
A short enantioselective synthesis of (+)-eleutherin, (+)-allo-eleutherin and the formal synthesis of (+)-nocardione B is described. The synthesis is completed in six steps in overall yields of 8% for eleutherin and 14% for allo-eleutherin. The synthetic strategy features ail efficient combination of the Dotz annulation reaction with a chiral alkyne and an oxa-Pictet Spengler reaction as the keys steps in the stereodivergent synthesis of (+)-eleutherin and (+)-allo-eleutherin. The synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-(2'-hydroxypropyl)-5-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone entails the formal synthesis of (+)-nocardione B. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A concise and improved synthesis of (+)-eleutherin, (+)-allo-eleutherin and a formal synthesis of (+)-nocardione B
摘要:
A concise and improved stereoselective synthesis of (+)-eleutherin, (+)-allo-eleutherin and the formal synthesis of (+)-nocardione B is described. The synthesis is based on a Dotz benzannulation and an improved oxa-Pictet-Spengler cyclization as the key steps. The synthesis is achieved in six steps in overall yields of 18% for eleutherin and 20% for allo-eleutherin. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
