A new approach to the synthesis of medium-ring-sized trans-alkenolides, based on the oxidative fragmentation of a three-carbon ring in hydroxyalkyl substituted bicyclo[n.1.0]alkan-1-ols readily available from 2-alkylidenecycloalkanones, is described. This methodology was applied to the six-step transformation of cyclooctanone to the natural 12-membered trans-alkenolide antibiotic (+)-recifeiolide.
描述了一种新的合成中环大小反式链烯内酯的方法,该方法基于三碳环在羟烷基取代的双环[ n .1.0]烷-1-醇中的三碳环的氧化裂解作用,二环[ n .1.0]烷-1-醇可从2-亚烷基环烷酮中轻松获得。 。该方法学适用于将
环辛酮经六步转化为天然的12元反式-链烯内酯抗生素(+)-recifeiolide的步骤。
