Towards EPC-syntheses of the structural class of cochleamycins and macquarimicins. Part 2: EPC-synthesis of the hydrindene subunit of the macquarimicins
摘要:
The EPC-synthesis of the cis- hydrindene subunit of the macquarimicins, antibiotics with antitumour and anti-inflammatory activity, has been achieved. Desymmetrization of cis-1,4-cyclopent-2-enediol was succeeded by Diels-Alder reaction and functional group transformations to a tricyclic ketone. Regio- and stereoselective methylation via Claisen condensation and hydrogenation was followed by nucleophilic, intramolecular addition, reduction and acidic fragmentation. Further functional group transformations led to the target molecule. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
