We describe a new general method for the synthesis of medium-sized lactones under mild conditions involving β-scission of alkoxy radicals derived from catacondensed lactols as a key step and its application to an efficient new synthesis of a naturally occurring 10-membered lactone, phoracantholide I .
NEW GENERAL SYNTHESIS OF MEDIUM RING-LACTONES VIA A REGIOSELECTIVE β-SCISSION OF ALKOXYL RADICALS GENERATED FROM CATACONDENSED LACTOLS
Suginome, Hiroshi,Yamada, Shinji
, p. 3371 - 3386 (2007/10/02)
We describe a new general method for the synthesis of medium-sized lactones based on ring-enlargement via a regioselective β-scission of alkoxyl radicals generated by photolysis from the hypoiodites of several catacondensed lactols.The syntheses of 9-membered lactones from 6/5 fused lactols, 10-menbered lactones including a naturally occuring lactone, phoracantholide I, from 6/6 or 7/5 fused lactols, and 11-membered lactones from 7/6 or 8/5 fused lactols are shown to be achieved by the present method.This new method may have a potential for application to the synthesis of either smaller or larger-sized lactones.
