摘要:
We invented an efficient method to obtain the key delta-lactone possessing the (CH(2))(2)OTBDPS and Et groups at C3 and C4, respectively, starting with the acetate of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol, which was subjected to Pd-catalyzed allylation with malonate anion to attach the (CH(2))(2)OTBDPS group. The Et group was then installed by 1,4-addition to the derived enone. Finally, the resulting enol TMS ether was oxidized to afford the lactone. Furthermore, the lactone was converted to dihydrocorynantheol and protoemetinol, both of which are typical examples of indoloquinolizidine and benzo[a]quinolizine alkaloids.
