, p. 23 - 26 (2013)
Curcuphenol is an interesting sesquiterpenoid with diverse bioactivities. Exploration of a concise and scalable synthetic route is still of significance in spite that many asymmetric total syntheses have been achieved. We report an expedient asymmetric synthesis of (R)-curcuphenol from citronellal, which features only two purification operations in the overall six-step synthesis.

Cedrane sesquiterpenes possess common tricyclo[5.3.1.01,5]undecane core structure. The varied oxa-five-membered ring decorating their core structure to form 8-oxa-tetracyclo[7.2.2.01,5.06,13]tridecane framework, containing six consecutive chiral centers (including two all-carbon quaternary centers and one oxygenated quaternary carbon center), has proven to be a synthetic challenge and a biosynthetic mystery to date. Herein, we reported a distinct and biomimetic strategy to these sesquiterpenes resulting in the concise asymmetric total syntheses of three cedrane sesquiterpenes from simple commercially available building blocks. Key feature is exploitation of a cascade oxidative dearomatization-induced [5+2] cycloaddition/etherification to highly stereocontrolled construct 8-oxa-tetracyclo[7.2.2.01,5.06,13]tridecane framework with five contiguous chiral centers in one step. In addition, a metal-free I2-catalyzed and DMSO-mediated oxidative dehydroaromatization was applied to prepare curcuphenol and its derivatives from the highly functionalized cyclohexenones with minimal manipulations.

The first total and biomimetic synthesis of the natural bis(sesquiterpene) (-)-bacchopetiolone (revised structure) was completed through a highly diastereoselective hydroxylative phenol dearomatization/[4+2]-dimerization cascade conversion of (+)-curcuphe

We have demonstrated that different enantioenriched 2-arylpropylsufonylbenzene derivatives are very useful building blocks for the synthesis of aromatic bisabolane sesquiterpenes. Their preparation and the exploitation of their chemical reactivity have been comprehensively investigated. Accordingly, the naturally occurring bisabolane sesquiterpenes (-)-curcuphenol, (-)-xanthorrhizol, (+)-glandulone A, (+)-curcudiol, (+)-turmerone and (+)-curcudiol-10-one were synthesized in high enantiomeric purity. It is worth noting that the compounds (+)-curcudiol-10-one and (+)-glandulone A were prepared in enantioenriched form for the first time. Through the proposed synthetic approaches, we were able to confirm both chemical structures and the absolute configurations previously assigned to the two aforementioned sesquiterpenes.

The expedient enantioselective synthesis of 5 bisabolane sesquiterpenes has been achieved using a common, one-pot lithiation-borylation reaction of secondary benzylic carbamates and either protodeboronation or oxidation to give the natural products in few

Efficient syntheses of α-cedrene (1), α-pipitzol (2), and sec-cedrenol (3) were carried out using a new method, which was inspired by the proposed biosynthesis of the tricyclic skeleton of cedrol (12). The key transformation begins with the oxidative dearomatization of curcuphenol (5a) followed by an intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloaddition of the respective phenoxonium intermediate across the tethered olefin. The benzylic stereocenter effectively guides the formation of the first two stereocenters during the [5 + 2] reaction. The cascade then terminates with the selective incorporation of acetic acid to generate a third stereocenter, setting it apart from other previous cationic [5 + 2] reactions. The phenolic precursors (5a-h) are constructed from readily available salicylaldehydes, either as the racemate (one pot) or as a specific enantiomer (four pots) by a modification to our method for the generation of ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs).
