Abstract
Ent-kaurenes consist of an ABC-ring based on a trans-anti-hydrophenanthrene skeleton and a D ring with an exomethylene. Highly oxygen-functionalized ent-kauren-15-ones have promising antiinflammatory pharmacological activity. In this study, we developed a novel diastereoselective synthesis of trans-anti-hydrophenanthrenes via a Ti-mediated reductive radical cyclization. We also demonstrated the applicability of this method by developing the first total synthesis of (±)-kamebanin (longest linear sequence; 17 steps, overall yield; 6.5 %). Furthermore, this synthesis provided a formal semi-pinacol rearrangement for the construction of the quaternary carbon at C8 and a novel Thorpe-Ziegler-type reaction for the construction of the D-ring.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry—A European Journal is a truly international journal with top quality contributions (2018 ISI Impact Factor: 5.16). It publishes a wide range of outstanding Reviews, Minireviews, Concepts, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields.
Based in Europe Chemistry—A European Journal provides an excellent platform for increasing the visibility of European chemistry as well as for featuring the best research from authors from around the world.
All manuscripts are peer-reviewed, and electronic processing ensures accurate reproduction of text and data, plus short publication times.
The Concepts section provides nonspecialist readers with a useful conceptual guide to unfamiliar areas and experts with new angles on familiar problems.
Chemistry—A European Journal is published on behalf of ChemPubSoc Europe, a group of 16 national chemical societies from within Europe, and supported by the Asian Chemical Editorial Societies. The ChemPubSoc Europe family comprises: Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry—A European Journal, European Journal of Organic Chemistry, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, ChemPhysChem, ChemBioChem, ChemMedChem, ChemCatChem, ChemSusChem, ChemPlusChem, ChemElectroChem, and ChemistryOpen.
