Enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-puupehenone from (−)-sclareol and protocatechualdehyde
摘要:
The first enantiospecific synthesis of the antitumor and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor (+)-puupehenone (19) from (-)-sclareol (10) and protocatechualdehyde (4) is described. The key steps of the reaction sequence are the organoselenium-induced cyclization of the mixture of regioisomers 15a-b to give 16 and 17, with complete diastereoselectivity, and the simultaneous removal of benzyl and phenylselenyl groups of 16 and 17 by treating with Raney Ni.

Compounds 7–8, monoterpenic analogues of the marine metabolites puupehenone (1) and puupehedione (2), were prepared from the easily available β-cyclocitral (10) and the aryllithium derived from 11 and 12. 8 showed antitumoral activity 4–10 times higher than that for the natural products. 8 showed antitumoral activity 4–10 times higher than that of natural puupehedione.
