(Matrix presented) A short synthesis of (±)-10-norparvulenone and (±)-O-methylasparvenone was developed starting from commercially available m-methoxyphenol, hinging on a xanthate-mediated addition - cyclization sequence for the construction of the α-tetr
O-Methylasparvenone, a Nitrogen-free Serotonin Antagonist
Boes, Michael,Canesso, Rolf,Inoue-Ohga, Noriko,Nakano, Atsuko,Takehana, Yuki,Sleight, Andrew J.

O-Methylasparvenone (1) and asparvenone (2) were isolated from an Aspergillus parvulus Smith broth in a microbial screening for 5-HT2C ligands and found to be 5-HT2C antagonists.They represent the first nitrogen-free serotonin ligands.The absolute configuration of 1 was determined to be S by X-ray analysis of the corresponding Mosher-ester.A short and efficient synthesis of rac-1 was developed.This protocol was applied to the synthesis of derivatives of 1 and a structure-affinity relationship was established.
Regiospecific α-Substitution of Crotonic Esters. Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Derivatives of 6-Ethyljuglone

Methyl β-methoxycrotonate is alkylated regiospecifically, through the anion, in the α-position.Enolsilylation of the resulting β,γ-unsaturated ester affords the corresponding 1,1,2,3-tetrasubstituted butadiene.Cycloaddition of the latter to the appropriate halogenated benzoquinone, followed by various transformations, provides the first recorded syntheses of several natural products derived from 6-ethyl-7-methoxyjuglone.
