Abstract
Herein we disclose the scalable synthesis of 4α-hydroxy-2,5-diene-1-one moiety, which is an essential fragment for the construction of withanolides such as Jaborosalactone B, starting from commercially available 21-hydroxy-20-methylpregn-4-en-3-one (BA) in 10 steps. The synthesis features a 1O2 involved Diels-Alder reaction with 1,3,5-triene to install the 1-hydroxy-4-one in A ring and a Ley's oxidation followed by β-elimination in one pot to furnish the 4α-hydroxy-2,5-diene-1-one moiety.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
