First synthesis of 1,9-dideoxyforskolin from ptychantin A

1,9-Dideoxyforskolin 2 has been synthesized starting from ptychantin A 3.

Synthetic transformation of ptychantin into forskolin and 1,9-dideoxyforskolin

Forskolin (1), a highly oxygenated labdane diterpenoid and an activator of adenylate cyclase, has been synthesized in 12 steps and 12% overall yield from ptychantin A (4), which has been isolated from liverwort Ptychanthus striatus in good yield. The 1α-hydroxy group was furnished by stereoselective reduction of the corresponding carbonyl group by sodium in t-BuOH. The 9α-hydroxy group was introduced stereoselectively by epoxidation of Δ9.11-enolether. 1,9-Dideoxyforskolin (2), an inhibitor of glucose transporter, has been synthesized in 8 steps and 37% overall yield. The hydroxy group at C-1 was removed by solid-state thicarbonylimidazolation and subsequent radical cleavage.
