Four new bioreductive esters (7-10) have been synthesized. Their structures composed of trimethyl lock containing quinone propionic acid with an ester linkage to the fungal cytotoxic compounds; preussomerin G (1), preussomerin I (2), phaseolinone (3) and phomenone (4). The synthesized esters are aimed to act via reductive activation specifically at the cancer cells, resulting from hypoxia and overexpression
Studies on the Terpenoids and Related Alicyclic Compounds. XXIII. Total Syntheses of (±)-Phomenone, (±)-3-Epiphomenone, (±)-Ligularenolide, and (±)-Furanoligularanone
Total syntheses of (±)-phomenone (5a), (±)-3-epiphomenone (12), (±)-ligularenolide (27), and (±)-furanoligularanone (34) are described. Dehydration of 6 followed by epoxidation gave the epoxide (8), which was treated with lithium diethylamide to afford the alcohol (9). Epoxidation of 9 gave the α-epoxide (10), which was deketalized to give the diketone (11) Reduction of 11 with NaBH4 gave (±)-3-epiphomenone (12) as a major product. Stereoselective synthesis of (±)-5a starting from 7 was examined. Deketalization of 7 gave the triene-dione (13) which was reduced with NaBH4 to afford the alcohols 14a and 14b. Epoxidation of 3α-ol (14a) gave the epoxide (15), which was treated with lithium diethylamide to afford the diol (16). Epoxidation of 16 with hydrogen peroxide gave (±)-phomenone (5a) regio- and stereoselectively. Treatment of 17 with lithium diisopropylamide followed by condensation with methyl pyruvate gave the hydroxy ester (19), which was treated with acetic acid to give the ketone (24). 24 was thioketalized to give 25, which was treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid to afford the unsaturated lactone (26). 26 was transformed to (±)-ligularenolide (27) and (±)-tetrahydroligularenolide (28) in good yield. Condensation of 17 with acetol pyranyl ether followed by catalytic hydrogenation gave 33. Treatment of 33 with p-toluenesulfonic acid gave (±)-furanoligularanone (34), which was transformed to (±)-3β-furanoligularanol (36).

Phomenone, a known phytotoxic and mycotoxic sesquiterpene, afforded a new substituted benzofuran, by treatment with a H2SO4 in MeOH solution (10%). The structure of such compound, determined by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods on its acetylderivative, is described. The formation mechanism of the new substituted benzofuran from the toxin is also discussed.
