An investigation into the total synthesis of clerocidin: stereoselective synthesis of a clerodane intermediate
摘要:
A key clerodane intermediate was prepared during the investigation of the total synthesis of clerocidin. The diterpene backbone was synthesized by an enantioselective Robinson annulation followed by trapping of the enolate using allyl bromide. Selective hydrogenation conditions were developed to introduce the axial methyl group at the C-8 position. A palladium-mediated carbonylation reaction was employed to generate the key alpha,beta-unsaturated dialdehyde. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

presented. The five contiguous asymmetric centers of 4 were prepared from enone 8 via a sequence of steps highlighted by: oxygenation of the C6 center by epoxidation of enone 18, methylenation of the C8 carbonyl group of 20 by means of the Peterson olefination, stereoselective construction of the C8 center of 21 using homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation and stereoselective oxygenation of the C7 center.

several quinone sesquiterpenes is described herein. Essential to this strategy is a novel radical additionreaction that permits the attachment of a fully substituted bicyclic core 16 to a variably substitutedquinone 10. The addition product 15 can be further functionalized, giving access to natural products with a high degree of oxygenation at the quinone unit. The quinoneadditionreaction is characterized
