three unprecedented 9-norlignans featuring a unique 3,5-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]oxepin-7(2H)-one scaffold, were isolated from the roots of Curculigo capitulata. Their structures with absolute configurations were unambiguously established by a combination of spectroscopic data, ECD analysis, and total synthesis. Biomimetic total syntheses of three pairs of the corresponding enantiomers were achieved in 9–10
Capitulactones A–C是三个前所未有的9-norlignans,具有独特的3,5-dihydrofuro [2,3- d ] oxepin-7(2 H)-one支架,是从Curculigo capitulata的根部分离得到的。通过光谱数据,
ECD分析和总合成的结合,可以明确地确定其具有绝对构型的结构。三对相应的对映异构体的仿生总合成以9-10个步骤完成,总收率分别为14.8%,12.7%和10.3%。值得注意的是,分子的共同西半球的独特支架是通过使用苯并二氢
呋喃的氧化还原策略构建的。
