This invention concerns product and process to convert a hydroxyl group (bold in R
3
C—OH) in a tigliane-type compound to a hydrogen (bold in R
3
C—H) to obtain deoxytigliane-type compounds or structural or functional analogs thereof. The process has wide application particularly to produce specific biologically active compounds in quantity for use as pharmaceuticals. In particular the process can be used to convert phorbol to a 12-deoxytigliane (prostratin), which is a therapeutic lead for the treatment of AIDS. New compositions of matter are also disclosed.
本发明涉及将三
环戊二烯型化合物中的羟基基团(在R3C-OH中加粗)转化为氢(在R3C-H中加粗),以获得脱氧三
环戊二烯型化合物或其结构或功能类似物的产品和过程。该过程具有广泛的应用,特别是用于生产特定的
生物活性化合物,以用作药物。特别是,该过程可用于将富尔醇转化为12-脱氧三
环戊二烯(普罗斯特林),后者是治疗艾滋病的治疗前导化合物。还披露了新的物质组成。
