An efficient and enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-O-methylpodocarpic acid 2 has been accomplished by employing a combined strategy of the lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of the tricyclic allyl alcohol (±)-7 and a highly diastereoselective silylmethyl radical cyclization of 5 leading to the tetracyclic silyl ether 4.

We found that the podocarpic acid structure provides a new scaffold for chemical modulators of large-conductance calcium-activated K+ channels (BK channels). Structure-activity analysis indicates the importance of both the arrangement (i.e., location and orientation) of the carboxylic acid functionality of ring A and the hydrophobic region of ring C for expression of BK channel-opening activity.

Attempts to alkylate products from Birch reductions of derivatives of podocarpic acid are reported. Attempted reductive silylation of ring C of methyl 12-methoxypodocarpa-8,11,13-trien-19-oate (5) gives products of C 4 ester reduction only. The enantiopure form of the bis(ethylene acetal) (15) of 19-norpodocarp-8-ene-3,12-dione, a potentially useful intermediate for quassinoid synthesis, has been prepared from the ketone (34). Functionality at C 8 on the β-face has been successfully introduced by abnormal Reimer-Tiemann reactions of podocarpic acid (2) and its 13-methyl derivative (10). The saturated ketone (48) has been converted into an α,β-unsaturated ketone (18) which has potential for introducing functionality at C 14.
Asymmetric Induction in Mn(III)-Based Oxidative Free-Radical Cyclizations of Phenylmenthyl Acetoacetates and 2,5-Dimethylpyrrolidine Acetoacetamides

Mn(III)-based oxidative free-radical cyclization of phenylmenthyl ester 1e afforded 90percent of 13 with 86percent de.Cyclization of 31b provided 56percent of (+)-podocarpic acid precursor 32e with 82percent de.The direction of de was opposite in these two cases.Oxidative cyclization of α-methyl β-keto ester 44b gave a 1:1.6 mixture of 46b and 47b while α-propyl β-keto ester 44d produced a >10:1 mixture of 46d and 47d indicating that the extent and direction of de is dependent on the size of the α-substituent.The reaction proceeds through transition states 12 and 56 with large α-substituents and through transition states 19 and 57 with small α-substituents.The de depends on the double-bond substitution pattern as shown by the decreased de with 37b and 37d, and selectivity in the 5-exo cyclization of 64b, 65b, 70b, and 71b is low.
