Strigolactones are plant hormones regulating essential stages of a plant's development. Their low natural abundance combined with a low chemical stability significantly hampered the detailed investigation of their biological activity. Noncanonical strigolactones lack the fused tricyclic ABC-ring system commonly present in canonical-type strigolactones but feature an open-chain unit linking structurally diverse A-ring moieties to the butenolide D-ring. We herein present an efficient synthetic access to enantiomerically pure noncanonical strigolactones by a Stille cross-coupling approach to forge the central diene moiety and demonstrate this strategy by syntheses of natural products methyl carlactonoate and carlactonic acid. Furthermore, a synthetic access to deuterium-labeled analogues of these natural products has been developed.
Synthesis of the 2-alkenyl-4-alkylidenebut-2-eno-4-lactone (=α-alkenyl-γ-alkylidenebutenolide) core structure of the carotenoid pyrrhoxanthin via the regioselective dihydroxylation of hepta-2,4-diene-5-ynoic acid esters

A new strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of 4-alkylidenebut-2-eno- 4-lactones (= γ-alkylidenebutenolides) with (Z)-configuration of the exocyclic C=C bond at C(4) was developed. It is exemplified by the synthesis of 4-alkylidenebutenolactone 31 (Scheme 4), which constitutes a substructure of the carotenoids pyrrhoxanthin (1) and peridinin. The formation of the precursor 4-(1-hydroxyalkyl)butenolactone 29 was accomplished either by cyclocarbonylation of the prop-2-yn-1-ol moiety of 27 (→ 29) or by hydrostannylation of the isopropylidene-protected alkynoic acid ester 26 (->28) followed by transacetalization/transesterification (→ 30). The 4- alkylidenebutenolactone was formed by the ami-selective Mitsunobu dehydration 29 → 31.
HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE AND GENERAL SYNTHESIS OF (Z)-3-METHYL-2-ALKEN-1-OLS VIA PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CROSS COUPLING OF (Z)-3-IODO-2-BUTEN-1-OL WITH ORGANOZINCS AND OTHER ORGANOMETALS

The reaction of Zn-protected (Z)-3-iodo-2-buten-1-ol with organozincs in the presence of 1-5 mol percent of a Pd complex, e.g., Pd(PPh3)4 or Cl2Pd(PPh3)2 and n-BuLi (2 equiv), in DMF provides a highly stereoselective (>/= 96 percent), general, and high-yi
