Terpenoids to terpenoids: enantioselective construction of 5,6-, 5,7-, and 5,8-fused bicyclic systems. Application to the total synthesis of isodaucane sesquiterpenes and dolastane diterpenes
摘要:
The prevalence of a C12 common core (10) in C15-C30 terpenoids has been recognized. Construction of two ''chirons'' ((-)-11 and (-)-12a,b), corresponding to 10, from abundantly available (R)-(+)-limonene has been achieved through diastereoselective [3s.3s] sigmatropic processes 16 --> 11 and 19 --> 12, respectively. Chirons 11 and 12 have been successfully annulated to bicyclic hydrindanones 21, 23, and 30, hydrazulenoids 31-33, and 5,8-fused system 42 through methodologies that are short and practical. Thus, these enantiomerically pure bicyclics are available as advanced building blocks for higher terpene synthesis. One of the hydrazulenoids ((-)-31) has been elaborated to isodaucane sesquiterpenes (+)-aphanamol I (2) and (+)-2-oxoisodauc-5-en-12-al (46) through a novel restructuring protocol (31 --> 50). The stereo- and enantioselective synthesis reported here has established the absolute stereochemistry of isodaucane sesquiterpenes. The hydrazulenoid (-)-31 has also been deployed for the first enantioselective synthesis of oxygenated dolastane diterpenes (+)-isoamijiol (63) and (+)-dolasta-1(15),7,9-trien-14-ol (64). The key step in this venture was the stereoselective annulation of a six-membered ring through radical-induced alkyne-carbonyl cyclization (67 --> 68).
The use of microwaveheatingtechnique for the acceleration of ortho ester Claisen rearrangement (a three step transformation) is described. Irradiation of a DMF solution of the allyl alcohol , triethyl orthoacetate and propionic acid (catalytic) in an Erlenmeyer flask for 10 minutes in a microwave oven generated the ester in 83% yield. Analogously, ortho ester Claisen rearrangement of a variety of

An enantiospecific synthesis of the 5-8-5 tricyclic ring system present in the basmane diterpenes has been accomplished, starting from ethyl 3-isopropyl-2-methylene-1-methylcyclopentaneacetate [readily available in five steps from (R)-limonene] employing an RCM reaction for the annulation of cyclooctane and an intramolecular rhodium carbenoid CH insertion reaction for the construction of the cyclopentane ring.
