Fluorination of kaurenoic acid derivatives by remote functionalization

Kauranoids and related tetracyclic diterpenoids have recently shown an increasing interest because of the discovery of new biological activities that can be modified by the introduction of a fluorine atom. In this article it is described the stereospecific fluorination of the kauranols 6 and 7 by remote functionalization at the 'unactivated' C-7 position.

Fluorinated Kaurenoids. Part 2. Preparation of Methyl ent-17,17,17-Trifluorokaur-15-en-19-oate and ent-16,16-Difluoro-17-norkauran-19-oic Acid from Xylopic Acid

An attempt to convert methyl ent-16-oxo-17-norkauran-19-oate (3), derived from xylopic acid, into methyl ent-17,17-difluorokaur-16-en-19-oate failed.However, treatment of the norketone (3) with diethylaminosulphurtrifluoride (DAST) gave methyl ent-16,16-difluoro-17-norkauran-19-oate (5).The latter afforded the corresponding acid (4) which was active as a growth promoter in a dwarf-rice bioassay.Treatment of methyl deacetylxylopate (18) with DAST, followed by cleavage of the terminal methylene group, yielded methyl ent-15-fluoro-16-oxo-17-norkauran-19-oate (15), which on reaction with dibromodifluoromethane and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine gave, not the expected 17,17-difluoro-olefin (19), but methyl ent-17,17,17-frifluorokaur-15-en-19-oate (28) in poor yield.Reduction of methyl xylopate with di-imide gave the 16β-methyl compound (24) stereospecifically.The latter was readily converted into methyl 15-oxokauranoate (26), but steric hindrance prevented the reaction of the oxo-group with DAST to give the 15,15-difluoride, under normal reaction conditions; using a much longer reaction time a trace of the gem-difluoride was formed.During reduction of the dithiocarbonate (27) of methyl deacetylxylopate with tri-n-butyltin hydride into the isomeric methyl kaurenoates (8) and (31), the 17-thiol ester (32) was also formed by a sigmatropic rearrangement.
