4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-benzyl alcohol. The synthesis features a substrate-tunable stereoselective intramolecular Pictet-Spengler-type reaction for the construction of the key pentacyclic core of both targets, bearing either the natural configuration or the epimeric configuration at C-3. With access to a C-3 epi-pentacyclic framework, 3-epi-jorumycin (32) and 3-epi-renieramycin G (34) were also successfully synthesized
(-)-jorumycin (1) 和 (-)-renieramycin G (2) 的全合成分别通过 25 和 23 步完成,从 5-benzyloxy-2,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-benzyl 醇. 该合成具有底物可调的立体选择性分子内 Pictet-Spengler 型反应,用于构建两个目标的关键五环核心,在 C-3 处具有天然构型或差向异构构型。通过使用 C-3 表五环框架,还成功合成了 3-epi-jorumycin (32) 和 3-epi-renieramycin G (34)。此外,对 3-epi-jorumycin (32) 的初步
生物学评估,以及相关的合成中间体,表明这些化合物具有显着的细胞毒性。所以,
