Bioinspired Total Synthesis of Bolivianine: A Diels- Alder/Intramolecular Hetero-Diels-Alder Cascade Approach

摘要

We report the first total synthesis of bolivanine in a 14-step pathway involving the synthesis of onoseriolide. Our synthesis features a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation involving an allylic metal carbene and a Diels-Alder/intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cascade, allowing the single-step assembly of a tricyclic system with proper configuration. The synthetic efforts validate our modified biogenetic hypothesis and allow us to confirm the absolute configuration of bolivianine.
