, p. 2021 - 2023 (2008/09/21)
(Chemical Equation Presented) A short and efficient synthesis of the antitumor diterpenoid (+)-zerumin B has been accomplished starting from (+)-sclareolide. At the heart of the synthetic strategy lies the regioselective formation of the α-substituted γ-hydroxybutenolide moiety of zerumin B. This was achieved by means of a [1,4] O→C triisopropylsilyl migration followed by singlet oxygen (1O2) oxidation of the resulting 2-triisopropylsilyl-3-(α-hydroxy)alkylfuran.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Short and efficient syntheses of coronarin E (4) and chinensines A-E (5-9) have been accomplished. The use of two different types of reaction of singlet oxygen (1O2) lies at the heart of the synthetic st

Two novel labdane type diterpenoids, 8β(17)-epoxy-14,15,16-trihydroxylabd-12(E)-ene (aulacocarpin C) and 15,16-epoxy-14ξ,16ξ-dimethoxylabda-8(17),12-(E)-diene (aulacocarpin D) together with the known aulacocarpin A and B; 14,15-epoxy-8(17),12(E)-labdadien-16-al, coronarin E, and 15,16-epoxy-12β-hydroxy-labda-8(17)-13(16),14-triene were isolated from the seeds of Aframomum aulacocarpos. To the best of our knowledge, the last compound was isolated from a natural source for the first time. Acid hydrolysis of aulacocarpin D led to another new labdane type diterpenoid, 15,16-epoxy-12β-methoxylabda-8(17)-13(16),14-triene. The structures of all compounds were established on the basis of their spectroscopic data. These new compounds exhibit moderate trypanocidal activity.
Facile access to labdane-type diterpenes: Synthesis of coronarin C, zerumin B, labda-8(17), 13(14)-dien-15,16-olide and derivatives from (+)-manool

A practical method for the synthesis of optically active labdane-type diterpenes from (+)-manool 8, is described. We prepared the natural labdane-type diterpene 5 via key intermediate peroxide 9 and coronarin C 1, compound 8 and zerumin B 6 via a furan photosensitised oxygenation reactions.
Synthesis and stereochemistry of the antitumor diterpenoid (+)-zerumin B

, p. 6670 - 6673 (2007/10/03)
Starting from commercially available (+)-sclareolide, the first synthesis of zerumin B was achieved by a concise, highly efficient pathway featuring stereoselective addition of a new silyloxyfuryltitanium reagent to an aldehyde intermediate and silyloxyfuran oxyfunctionalization as key steps. The synthesis established the relative and absolute configuration of zerumin B along with its identity with a purportedly new diterpenoid isolated from the plant Renealmia alpinia.
Synthesis of the marine furanoditerpene (-)-marginatone

, p. 2003 - 2010 (2007/10/03)
A synthesis of the marine labdane furanoditerpene (-)-marginatone 1 has been accomplished by a short sequence of reactions starting from (+)-coronarin E 5. The key step is the stereocontrolled-intramolecular electrophilic cyclisation of the (+)-dihydrocoronarin E 6, to the tetracyclic marginatane skeleton 7, which is subsequently functionalized by allylic oxidation to give 1. As (+)-coronarin E 5 was previously synthesized from (-)-sclareol 10, the herein reported preparation constitutes the first formal total synthesis of (-)-marginatone 1, by which its absolute configuration has been confirmed.
