Concise Total Synthesis of the Bisnorditerpene (+)-(5β,8,10)-8-hydroxy-13-methylpodocarpa-9(11),13-diene-3,12-dione
文摘
The first enantioselective total synthesis of the bisnorditerpene (+)-(5β,8α,10α)-8-hydroxy-13-methylpodocarpa-9(11),13-diene-3,12-dione (1) was accomplished in 7 steps with 18.5 % overall yield from known aldehyde and chiral epoxide. Key steps of the synthesis include a cationic domino cyclization used to construct the [6,6,6] fused framework, and an oxidative dearomatization reaction used to form the 1,4-quinoid moiety.
