Synthesis of (+)-aptosimon, a 4-oxofurofuran lignan, by erythro selective aldol condensation and stereoconvergent cyclization as the key reactions
Yamauchi, Satoshi,Yamaguchi, Munetoshi
, p. 838 - 846 (2007/10/03)
The 4-oxofurofuran lignan, (+)-aptosimon (1), was synthesized from γ-butyrolactone (9). To construct the two benzylic chiral center of (+)-aptosimon (1), highly erythro selective aldol condensation and stereoconvergent SN1 intramolecular cyclization were used as the key reactions.
C-H insertion approach to the synthesis of endo,exo-furofuranones: Synthesis of (±)-asarinin, (±)-epimagnolin A, and (±)-fargesin
Brown,Bataille,Bruton,Hinks,Swain
, p. 6719 - 6728 (2007/10/03)
A series of novel 5-aryl-4-aryloxymethyl-3-diazotetrahydrofuran-2-ones (12, 24, and 35a/b) have been prepared and found to undergo regio- and stereoselective C-H insertion reactions to afford 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-8-ones (18, 26, and 36a/b) with endo,exo stereochemistry. Subsequent reduction of the lactone ring and cyclization of the resulting diols 27 and 37a/b permitted the synthesis of three endo, exo-furofuran lignans: asarinin (2), fargesin (3), and epimagnolin A (4). En route to the key diazo compounds 24 and 35a/b, a modified procedure for the Ghosez keteniminium-olefin cyclization was developed, which was required to minimize the decomposition of acid-sensitive functional groups such as electron-rich benzylic ethers that were present in the target compounds 2-4.
Synthesis of endo,exo-furofuranones using a highly diastereoselective C-H insertion reaction
Brown, Richard C.D.,Hinks, Jeremy D.
, p. 1895 - 1896 (2007/10/03)
A highly stereoselective ring closure of α-diazo-γ-butyrolactones to form the 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring system is reported; a formal synthesis of the furofuran lignan asarinin 1 is also described.
A New Synthetic Route to Furofuranoid Lignans via Intramolecular Mukaiyama reaction
Stevens, David R.,Till, Clive P.,Whiting, Donald A.
, p. 185 - 190 (2007/10/02)
The sequence set out in Scheme 1 provides a short and expedient synthesis of a number of (+/-)-furofuranoid lignans, including styraxin 3 (antitumor), aptosimon 5, asarinin 6, pluviatilol 7, 'MEL' 4 (inhibitor of germination) and related compounds.
Synthesis and N.m.r. Spectra of 2,6- and 2,4-Diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclooctanes
Pelter, Andrew,Ward, Robert S.,Watson, Derrick J.,Jack, Ibiba R.
, p. 183 - 190 (2007/10/02)
A series of isomeric 2,6- and 2,4-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclooctanes have been prepared via the corresponding threo, and erythro-dioxo-diesters.Comparison of their 1H and 13C n.m.r. spectra reveals small differences in chemical shifts and coupling constants which could be diagnostic in assigning structures to such compounds.The structure of 4-hydroxysesamin has been confirmed by direct correlation with sesamin.
