Abstract
The first enantioselective total synthesis and structure revision of isolophanthin E and syntheses of proposed structures of isolophanthins A, B, and C are demonstrated. Natural product 3β-hydroxy-8,11,13,15-abietatetraene was directly synthesized utilizing an efficient cationic polyene cyclization, and it is used as a common intermediate in the synthesis of isolophanthins and related abietatriene natural products. Two distinct synthetic routes were established for the synthesis of different stereoisomers of isolophanthin E. Spectroscopic analysis and structural assignment of isolophanthin E stereoisomers provide valuable insights into the relative configuration of the C-2, C-3-dihydroxy A ring of similar terpenoids, aiding in the identification of their configuration. A total of seven diterpenoids were obtained using regioselective chloromethylation, Sharpless dihydroxylation, Cu(II) catalyzed allyl-benzyl coupling, epoxide-initiated polyene cyclization, Rubottom oxidation, and additive-controlled dihydroxylation as key synthetic steps.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
