TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF THE INSECT ANTIFEEDANT AJUGARIN I AND DEGRADATION STUDIES OF RELATED CLERODANE DITERPENES

The first total synthesis of the diterpene clerodane insect antifeedant ajugarin I (1) has been achieved.The key step of the synthesis discloses the use of the 1,3-dithiolane unit to stereochemically direct the conjugate addition of a but-3-enyl cuprate to set in place the C-10 sp3 carbon centre.The trans-fused ring geometry was obtained by conjugate addition of a vinyl cuprate to an enone and regio and stereoselectively trapping the resulting enolate with formaldehyde.Introduction of the necessary butenolide side chain was achieved by conjugate addition of a sulphone stabilised anion to ethyl-4-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)but-2-ynoate followed by work-up with fluoride.Final hydroxyl directed epoxidation was not specific giving both the natural product ajugarin I and its 4-epi isomer.Chemical modification of the insect antifeedant clerodin hemiacetal afforded a series of side chain modified structures for biological evaluation.

INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF INSECT ANTIFEEDANT CLERODANES THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF +/- 4-EPI AJUGARIN

Starting from alcohol 3, a stereospecific synthesis of carboxylic acid 2 is described.This acid 2 is a key intermediate in the total synthesis of ajugarins and its conversion into +/- 4-epi ajugarin is reported.
