Total synthesis of demethylwedelolactone and wedelolactone by Cu-mediated/Pd(0)-catalysis and oxidative-cyclization
摘要:
Hedysarimcoumestan B, which can be isolated from Chinese herbal medicine, is achieved, in which the longest linear sequence is only eight steps, in 50% overall yield from commercially available phloroglucinol. The key transformations in the synthesis are Cu-mediated/Pd(0)-catalysis and I-2/pyridine oxidative-cyclization reactions. This synthetic strategy can be applied to give access to the demethylwedelolactone (4) and wedelolactone (5), which were afforded from commercially available phloroglucinol in high 38 and 33% yields, respectively.

Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed annulation reactions of phenols with 5-alkylidene Meldrum's acids enabled the synthesis of structurally diverse heterocycles in high isolated yields. A series of 4-substituted 3,4-dihydrocoumarins, 2,2-disubstituted 4-chromanones, coumarins, and 2-substituted chromones were readily and efficiently assembled, including the naturallyoccurringcoumarins citropten, scoparone, and ayapin
