The drimentine family is a class of hybrid isoprenoids derived from actinomycete bacteria. Members of this family display weak antitumor and antibacterial activity. Herein we report our efforts toward the total synthesis of drimentine C using three distinct approaches incorporating palladium-catalyzed cyanoamidation, reductive cross-coupling, and photoredox-catalyzed α-alkylation of an aldehyde as key steps. Our synthetic efforts use a convergent synthesis to assemble the terpenoid and alkaloid portions of drimentine C from readily available l-tryptophan, l-proline, and (+)-sclareolide.

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and discloses an aromatic compound hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation method under mild conditions and application of the method in hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions of the aromatic compounds and related mixtures. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: contacting the aromatic compound or a mixture containing the aromatic compound with a catalyst and hydrogen with proper pressure in a solvent under a proper temperature condition, and reacting the hydrogen, the solvent and the aromatic compound under the action of the catalyst to obtain a corresponding hydrogenation product or/and a hydrodeoxygenation product without an oxygen-containing substituent group. The invention also discloses specific implementation conditions of the method and an aromatic compound structure type applicable to the method. The hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reaction method used in the invention has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high hydrodeoxygenation efficiency, wide substrate applicability, convenient post-treatment, and good laboratory and industrial application prospects.

The direct transformation of lignin into fuels and chemicals remains a huge challenge because of the recalcitrant and complicated structure of lignin. In this study, rhenium oxide-modified iridium supported on SiO2 (Ir-ReOx/SiO2) is employed for the one-pot conversion of various lignin model compounds and lignin feedstocks into naphthenes. Up to 100 percent yield of cyclohexane from model compounds and 44.3 percent yield of naphthenes from lignin feedstocks are achieved. 2 D HSQC NMR spectroscopy before and after the reaction confirms the activity of Ir-ReOx/SiO2 in the cleavage of the C?O bonds and hydrodeoxygenation of the depolymerized products. H2 temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of NH3, IR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure analysis, and control experiments reveal that a synergistic effect between Ir and ReOx in Ir-ReOx/SiO2 plays a crucial role in the high performance; ReOx is mainly responsible for the cleavage of C?O bonds, whereas Ir is responsible for hydrodeoxygenation and saturation of the benzene rings. This methodology opens up an energy-efficient route for the direct conversion of lignin into valuable naphthenes.
