Murai, Akio,Ono, Mitsunori,Masamune, Tadashi
, p. 1202 - 1204 (1982)
The first synthesis of phytuberin, which mimics the proposed biogeneses in critical stages, is described.The synthesis also establishes the absolute configuration.
Synthesis of phytuberin. 4-endo-tet acid-catalyzed cyclization of α-hydroxy epoxides
Prange, Thierry,Rodriguez, Maria S.,Suarez, Ernesto
, p. 4422 - 4431 (2007/10/03)
The total synthesis of phytuberin, a phytoalexin of the Solanum genus, from (-)-α-santonin is reported. The key steps include (a) reductive cleavage of the C-O bond of the γ-lactone with concomitant protection of the C1 double bond, (b) Sharpless stereocontrolled hydroxy-assisted epoxidation of allylic alcohol 6 and simultaneous deprotection of the C1 double bond, (c) a rare 4-endo-tet acid-catalyzed cyclization of an α-hydroxy epoxide, and (d) an unprecedented 4-exo selenocyclization of a homoallylic alcohol.
Total synthesis of (-)-phytuberin
Findlay, John A.,Desai, Dixit N.,Lonergan, Greg C.,White, Peter S.
, p. 2827 - 2828 (2007/10/02)
An efficient, total synthesis of the phytoalexin (-)-phytuberin 10 is described starting from (-)-carvone 1.
