The synthesis of structural analogues of the Podophyllum lignans: Selective Wittig reactions on 1-aryl-2-methyl-tetrahydronaphthoic acid anhydride
Mann,Wong,Beard
, p. 1667 - 1670 (1985)
The title anhydride reacts with stabilised phosphorus ylids exclusively at the carbonyl remote from the 1-aryl substituent. These products have been converted into a variety of compounds related in structure to deoxyisopicrophyllotoxin.
A Practical Synthesis of the Anti-tumour Agent 2-Methyl-4-deoxyisopicropodophyllotoxin and Related Podophyllin Analogues
Beard, Andrew R.,Hazell, Sarah J.,Mann, John,Palmer, Christopher
, p. 1235 - 1238 (2007/10/02)
We describe an efficient, six-stage synthesis of 2-methyl-4-deoxyisopicropodophyllotoxin, which proceeds via a Diels-Alder cycloaddition between 2-methylmaleic anhydride and the orthoquinodimethane generated by treatment of 5-1-acetoxy-1-(3',4',5'-trimet
