A concise total synthesis of unprecedented tetranorsesquiterpenoids applanatumol Z5

A concise total synthesis of tetranorsesquiterpenoids applanatumol Z5 (3), possessing unique 6/5/5 ring system was disclosed with 7-step in 5-pot from commercially available starting materials. The key elements of the synthesis included an unexpected intramolecular dithiolane with alcohol oxidative coupling/deprotection sequence to create the unsaturated lactone as dienophile and a regioselective Diels-Alder reaction to assemble the 6/5/5 tricyclic scaffold including two vicinal quaternary carbon stereocenters. Late stage the diastereo- and regioselective carbonyl reduction led to achieve the total synthesis of (±) applanatumol Z5 (3).

Synthetic studies of furanosesquiterpenoid tetrahydrolinderazulenes. Total synthesis of (±)-echinofuran

Echinofuran (1) was isolated in 1992 and was reported to inhibit cell division of fertilized sea urchin eggs. The synthesis of 1 was achieved by a Ring A→Ring AC→Ring ABC approach employing 3-methyl-4-(trimethylsilyl)furan (2) as a precursor. A Suzuki cou

Preparation, Reactivity, and Spectral Properties of 1,3-Dioxin Vinylogous Esters: Versatile β-Ketovinyl Cation Equivalents

A full account of the preparation, reactivity, and spectral properties of three 1,3-dioxin vinylogous esters (4-6) is presented.The synthetic approach of these versatile β-ketovinyl cation equivalents involves a BF3*Et2O-promoted Prins reaction between cyclic 1,3-diketones (i.e., 1,3-cyclopentanedione, 1,3-cyclohexanedione, and 1,3-cycloheptanedione) and either formaldehyde or trioxane.The reactions explored include reductive and alkylative 1,3-ketone transpositions, affording a variety of simple β-unsubstituted and β-substituted α-hydroxymethyl α,β-enones, alkylations with carbon electrophiles, and hydroxylations with oxygen electrophiles.
