Total Synthesis of the Phenalenone Diterpene Salvilenone
摘要:
The application of a photochemical aromatic annulation strategy in a highly efficient total synthesis of the phenalenone diterpene salvilenone is reported. The pivotal step in the synthesis involves the assembly of the key dihydrophenalene 29 in one step via an annulation involving the siloxyalkyne 28 and either diazo ketone 8 or 9. The synthesis of the alpha-benzosuberone 8 was achieved in three steps beginning with 2-methylcyclopentanone by a route featuring an ''aryne-enolate condensation'' reaction. The alternative aromatic annulation substrate, the beta-benzosuberone 9, was prepared in four steps by a route based on the regiocontrolled ring expansion of the alpha-methylenetetralin 27. The key aromatic annulation was then accomplished by irradiating a mixture of either diazo ketone 8 or 9 and 1.4 equiv of the siloxyalkyne 28 in 1,2-dichloroethane at 20-25 degrees C using a standard Rayonet photochemical reactor. The reaction mixture was next diluted with an equal volume of solvent and heated overnight at 80 degrees C to complete the annulation; concentration and chromatographic purification furnished the tricyclic phenol 29 as colorless crystals in 60-71% yield. Finally, annulation of the furan ring and oxidation required three steps and provided the phenalenone diterpene in good yield. The synthetic routes described herein provide access to salvilenone in only seven or eight steps (via the alpha- and beta-benzosuberone strategies, respectively), half the number of steps required using the classical linear substitution approach reported previously. These highly efficient syntheses demonstrate the ability of the photochemical aromatic annulation strategy to dramatically streamline the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic compounds.

(Trialkylsilyl)vinylketenes react with lithium ynolates to generate 3-(oxido)dienylketenes, which undergo rapid 6π-electrocyclization. The ultimate products of this benzannulation are highly substituted resorcinol monosilyl ethers, which are formed via a [1,3] carbon to oxygen silyl group shift. Further transformations of the benzannulation products are described providing efficient access to ortho-benzoquinones

A general strategy for the synthesis of highly substituted polycyclicaromatic and heteroaromatic compounds has been developed. The new aromatic annulation is achieved simply by the irradiation of a dichloroethane solution of an acetylene derivative and a vinyl or aryl α-diazo ketone. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds via the photochemical Wolff rearrangement of the diazo ketone to generate an

The application of a photochemical aromatic annulation strategy in highly efficient total syntheses of several diterpenoid quinones isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Dan Shen is reported. The pivotal step in each synthesis involves the assembly of a key tricyclic intermediate via the application of a recently developed ''second-generation'' photochemical aromatic annulation method for the construction of highly substituted aromatic systems. In the total synthesis of neocrypto-tanshinone,;the synthesis of the requisite diazo ketone annulation substrate 7 was achieved using palladium-mediated coupling reactions and an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization to form key carbon-carbon bonds. The pivotal aromatic annulation reaction was then accomplished by irradiating a solution of the diazo ketone 7 and the readily available siloxyalkyne 6 in benzene at room temperature. The desired tricyclic phenol 16 was produced in 58-65% yield and was then converted to (+)-neocryptotanshinone (1) by treatment with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in the presence of oxygen. Cyclization to generate (-)-cryptotanshinone (2) was accomplished in high yield by brief exposure of 1 to an ethanolic solution of concentrated sulfuric acid, and dehydrogenation of 2 with DDQ furnished tanshinone IIA (3). As a further demonstration of the utility of the photochemical aromatic annulation strategy in the construction of angularly-fused diterpenes, the total synthesis of(+/-)-royleanone (4) was also investigated. Irradiation of a solution of the diazo ketone 18 and siloxyalkyne 25 produced the tricyclic intermediate 26, which was converted in two steps to royleanone by desilylation and oxidation.
