Total Synthesis of Jiadifenolide**
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a potent neurotrophic agent, the sesquiterpenoid jiadifenolide represents a valuable small-molecule lead for the potential therapeutic treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. A stereocontrolled total synthesis of this densely functionalized natural product is reported, central to which is an adventurous samarium-mediated cyclization reaction to establish the tricyclic core and the adjacent C5 and C6 quaternary stereocenters.

Illicium sesquiterpenes: divergent synthetic strategy and neurotrophic activity studies.
Majucin-type sesquiterpenes from Illicium sp., such as jiadifenolide (2), jiadifenin (3), and (1R,10S)-2-oxo-3,4-dehydroxyneomajucin (4, ODNM), possess a complex caged chemical architecture and remarkable neurotrophic activities. As such, they represent attractive small-molecule leads against various neurodegenerative diseases. We present an efficient, enantioselective, and unified synthesis of...

We report the first chemical syntheses of both (-)-majucin and (-)-jiadifenoxolane A via 10 net oxidations from the ubiquitous terpene (+)-cedrol. Additionally, this approach allows for access to other majucin-type sesquiterpenes, like (-)-jiadifenolide, (-)-jiadifenin, and (-)-(1R,10S)-2-oxo-3,4-dehydroxyneomajucin (ODNM) along the synthetic pathway. Site-selective aliphatic C(sp3)-H bond oxid...

Esterification of chitosan with adipic acid catalyzed by immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B was carried out in this study. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a four-factor- five-level small central composite design (SCCD) was employed to model and analyze the reaction. A total of 21 experiments representing different combinations of the four reaction parameters including ch...
