Synthetic studies on pseudolaric acid B:Enantioselective synthesis of C4,C10-di-epi-trans-fused5-7-bicyclic skeleton

摘要

Studies on the synthesis of antifungal and anticancer natural product,pseudolaric acid B,have led to the enantioselective synthesis of di-epi-trans-fused[5-7]-bicyclic co re skeleton.The synthesis was achieved in 10 linear steps,which features the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation,cyanide-opening reaction of epoxide,and intramolecular[5+2]cycloaddition reaction as the key transformations.The stereochemistry was determined by the X-ray crystallographic analysis.
