Abstract
Starting from the partially-optical active 7-methoxybicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-3,6-dien-2-one, a photoisomer of 2-methoxytropone obtained from the B-cyclodextrin inclusion complex, bis(dehydroxy)xanthocidin methyl ester was synthesized. In 1978, we found2' a photoisomerization of troponoids under a-and P-cyclodextrin (CDX)-included conditions to give bicyclo(3.2.0]hepta-3,6-dien-2-ones with a remarkable rate enhancement and with much improved yields for proto-photoisomers in various dispersion media. The photoproducts derived from tropolone (la) and 2-methoxytropone (lb) were optically active, and by using these optically active specimens, we have carried out a mechanistic investigation of the "antara-antara"-3, 3-sigmatropy;3' the thermolysis of optically active 1-methoxybicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-3,6-dien-2-one (2) to optically active 3-methoxybicyclo[ 3.2.0 ]hepta-3, 6-dien-2-one (3), ruled out an involvement of radical intermediate.`•5•6) Obviously, the photoproduct (2) is good starting material for polysubstituted cyclopentane derivatives, and by this mean we have now synthesized a dialkyl derivative (4) of sarkomycin (B)7' which can be, in same time, designated as a bis(dehydroxyl) derivative of xanthocidin8' from 7-methoxybicyclo[3.2.0Ihepta-3, 6-dien-2-one (5). The findings will be described in this paper. An a-methylenecyclopentanone antibiotic, xanthocidin (A) was first isolated from a Streptomlces species, IVo.51--4by Asahi et al.8' and its racemic form has been synthesized by Smith9' via the key intermediate, bis(dehydroxy)-4, 5-dehydroxanthocidin (C). The above mentioned readines$ in furnishing the cyclopentene synthons prompted us to carry out the experiments on the synthesis of this methylene cyclopentanone relative, methyl ester of bis(dehydroxyl) derivative (4) of A'O' as follows.
