Enantioselective Total Syntheses of (+)-Hostmanin A, (−)-Linderol A, (+)-Methyllinderatin and Structural Reassignment of Adunctin E
摘要:
A one-step protocol has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of hexahydrodibenzofuran derivatives using a modified Friedel-Crafts reaction. The developed method was applied to the synthesis of a series of natural products including (+)-hostmanin A, (+)-methyllinderatin, and (-)-linderol A. The synthetic and spectroscopic data investigations led to the structural. reassignment of natural product adunctin E, which was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

摘要:
A one-step protocol has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of hexahydrodibenzofuran derivatives using a modified Friedel-Crafts reaction. The developed method was applied to the synthesis of a series of natural products including (+)-hostmanin A, (+)-methyllinderatin, and (-)-linderol A. The synthetic and spectroscopic data investigations led to the structural. reassignment of natural product adunctin E, which was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
The first total syntheses of (+)-hostmanin A (1) and (+)-methyllinderatin (3) were achieved in four steps from a known compound, 1-2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-3-[(1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-(1-methylethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]phenyl}ethanone (6). The absolute configuration of (+)-methyllinderatin (3) was determined. Furthermore, (+)-hostmanin A (1), which was isolated as an inseparable mixture of hostmanin A and B, was synthesized as a sole component.
