Total synthesis of seco-lateriflorone
نویسندگان
چکیده
A convergent strategy toward the synthesis of lateriflorone (5) is described. Our approach is based on biosynthetic considerations and draws on a sequence of prenylation, oxygenation and Claisen reactions for the construction of chromenequinone 6, and a tandem Claisen/Diels–Alder reaction cascade for the synthesis of caged tricycle 7. Union of fragments 6 and 7 led to the synthesis of secolateriflorone (49). q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Regioselective synthesis of the tricyclic core of lateriflorone.
An efficient synthetic approach to the tricyclic core 8 of lateriflorone is described. Essential to the synthesis was the implementation of a biomimetic tandem Claisen/Diels-Alder reaction that produced the desired tricyclic scaffold as a single isomer. A rationalization of the excellent regio and stereoselectivity of this transformation is also proposed. [reaction: see text]
متن کاملSynthesis of Novel 17-Oxo-17a-Aza-D-Homo-3, 5-Seco-Steroids as Potential 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. Itis a leading disorder of the elderly male population. Excessive production of dihydrotestosteronehas been implicated in this pathological condition. Steroidal 5α-reductase is a membrane boundNADPH dependent enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone (T) todihydrotestosterone (DHT). The...
متن کاملIso-seco-tanapartholides: Isolation, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation
The isolation, identification and total synthesis of two plant-derived inhibitors of the NF-κB signaling pathway from the iso-seco-tanapartholide family of natural products is described. A key step in the efficient reaction sequence is a late-stage oxidative cleavage reaction that was carried out in the absence of protecting groups to give the natural products directly. A detailed comparison of...
متن کاملThe Structure-Activity Relationships of Flaxseed Lignan, Secoisolariciresinol
It is well known that the physiological activities of compounds are affected by their molecular structures. Hence, it is very important for the risk assessment of environmental chemicals such as PCDD and PCDF to evaluate structure-activity relationships (SAR). For precise analysis of SAR, the compounds should be stereoselectively synthesized. In this paper, we evaluated SAR of flaxseed lignan, ...
