Decoding Guaianolide Biosynthesis: Synthetic Insights into Pseudoguaianolides and Seco-Guaianolides
The biosynthetic pathways leading to pseudoguaianolides and seco-guaianolides remain unclear. In this work, we demonstrate that highly oxidized 8,12-guaianolides serve as unprecedented precursors, enabling chemoselective, one-step access to pseudoguaianolide, seco-guaianolide, and xanthanolide-type sesquiterpenoids. Key mechanistic insights reveal the pivotal role of peroxide substituents on the guaianolide core and stereoelectronic factors in controlling reaction outcomes. These findings shed light on guaianolide selectivity and may mirror actual biosynthetic pathways, offering transformative potential for oxidative transformations in sesquiterpenoid synthesis.
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.
