A facile chemoenzymatic approach to natural cytotoxic ellipsoidone A and natural ellipsoidone B
摘要:
Starting from citraconic anhydride (3) a facile four-step synthesis of deoxyellipsoidone 8 has been reported with 37% overall yield. An elegant six-step access to naturally occurring cytotoxic ellipsoidone A (1) and ellipsoidone B (2) has been reported with good overall yields, via the conversion of itaconic anhydride (9) to the acetoxymethylmaleic anhydride (11), regioselective sodium borohydride reduction of anhydride 11 to acetoxymethylbutyrolactone 12, Knoevenagel condensation of lactone 12 with 5-methylfurfural, selenium dioxide induced oxidation of the formed butenolide 13 and an Amano PS catalyzed deacylation of the formed diacetoxybutenolide 14 as a pathway.

ammonia. The C=C in the racemic diester 19 was ozonolysed and the diketone converted by Beckmannrearrangement into the bis-lactam . Reduction of the bis-lactam with lithium aluminium hydride and intramolecular nucleophilic displacement gave racemic sparteine 1. Some ideas for making this synthesis amenable to a synthesis of enantiomerically enriched sparteine are presented.
