Abstract
A simple stereodivergent route from d-erythrofuranose to pseudodistomin-based analogues was accomplished. The developed approach took advantage of both stereocentres of the starting material; an additional stereogenic centre was installed using an Overman rearrangement, and the extra carbon atoms present in the final C-alkyl piperidine-diols were successively installed via two Wittig olefinations and an olefin cross-metathesis reaction. The required 6-membered ring was formed by means of an alkylative cyclisation after activation of the primary alcohol functionality. The target molecules were screened in vitro for antiproliferative activity on a series of human malignant cell lines by MTT assay. Both prepared analogues exhibited similar behaviour in their capacity to alter the viability of the tested cells.
The synthetic strategy to these modified pseudodistomins has the potential to be extended to their enantiomeric congeners by simply substituting the starting material with l-erythrofuranose as the suitable chiron.
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.
