METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TERPENOID SYNTHESIS

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to methods for preparation of terpene and terpene-like molecules. In a further aspect, the disclosure relates to the products of the disclosed methods, i.e., terpene and terpene-like molecules prepared using the disclosed methods. Intermediates for the synthesis of a wide variety of terpenoids are γ-allyl Knoevenagel adducts or quasi γ-allyl Knoevenagel adducts are disclosed. In various aspects, methods of preparing terpenoids through these intermediates are disclosed. The methods can comprise α-alkylation of an allylic electrophile followed by ring-closure metathesis to a polycyclic terpenoid structure. In a further aspect, the disclosure pertains to terpenoid frameworks, and compounds prepared via disclosed oxidation and substitution reactions on the disclosed terpenoid frameworks. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Stereospecific Synthesis of (+)- and (-)-Cyclooctenone Derivatives Using a Ring Expansion Reaction with Me3SiSnBu3 and CsF

Novel synthesis of an eight-membered compound by the ring expansion reaction of a two-carbon unit was developed using the stannyl anion generated from Me3SiSnBu3 and CsF in DMF. cis- and trans-cyclooctenone derivatives were synthesized from cyclohexanone derivatives having vinyl iodide in a tether by treatment with Me3SiSnBu3 and CsF in DMF in a stereospecific manner. The trans-cyclooctenone derivative was isomerized to the cis-isomer in the presence of Me3SiSnBu3 and CsF. It is known that the trans-eight-membered ring is an asymmetric compound. Using this procedure, (+)- and (-)-trans-cyclooctenone derivatives could be synthesized from the corresponding optically active cyclohexanone derivatives.
