1,3-Elimination reactions of (3,4-epoxybutyl)stannanes. Approach to the synthesis of hirsutene
摘要:
An advanced tricyclic precursor of hirsutene (3) was prepared by a 1,3-elimination reaction of spirocyclic epoxy stannane 7b. Compound 7b was synthesized efficiently from hydroxycyclohexenone 8b by conjugate addition of [(CH3)3Sn]2CuLi, Wittig methylenation, and VO(acac)2-catalyzed epoxidation. Intermediate 8b was prepared in five steps from the known enone 9 in 18% overall yield. An improved synthesis makes compound 9 available in four efficient steps from keto ester 12.
