Abstract
(−)-Steganacin is a lignan with a unique dibenzocyclooctadiene lactone framework. Herein, we describe the total synthesis of (−)-steganacin and its congeners through a stereocontrolled atroposelective intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck reaction. The synthesis of (−)-steganacin was completed in 11 steps from commercial substrates with a 7% overall yield. Furthermore, the biological activities of (−)-steganacin and its synthetic analogues were evaluated. (−)-Steganacin exhibits potent antiproliferation activity against MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells with IC50 = 0.50 μM.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
