Reaction conditions were studied to control the acetylating position on 7-deacetylforskolin using [11C]acetyl chloride. In a preliminary study using non-labeled acetyl chloride, pyridine, lutidine, triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) were tested as the base in the acetylation. Pyridine was effective in selective acetylation to yield forskolin in any solvent, and DBU was effective for 1-acetyl-7-deacetylforskolin. Among toluene, dichloromethane and dichloroethane, toluene was the most suitable as the solvent for the selective acetylation of the 7-OH group to give forskolin with any base. In the selectivity of acetylation with [11C]acetyl chloride, more [11C]forskolin was obtained than [11C]1-acetyl-7-deacetylforskolin (70:30) in the presence of pyridine in toluene. [11C]1-acetyl-7-deacetylforskolin was preferentially synthesized with DBU in dichloromethane, and the ratio of [11C]1-acetyl-7-deacetylforskolin to [11C]forskolin was 98:2. For the yield of the [11C]acetylated product, DBU in dichloromethane was also suitable to obtain [11C]1-acetyl-7-deacetylforskolin. However, that of pyridine in toluene did not confer any advantages upon the yield of [11C]forskolin compared with DMAP in toluene.
IDENTITY OF COLEONOL WITH FORSKOLIN: STUCTURE REVISION OF A BASE-CATALYSED REARRANGEMENT PRODUCT

The identity of coleonol and forskolin is shown through structure revision of a rearrangement product isolated earlier from coleonol and is confirmed by direct comparison of authentic coleonol with forskolin 1; in addition, coleonol-B should correctly represented by structure 4.
