[reaction: see text] An enantioselective entry to the skeleton of the tremulane sesquiterpenes is described. The approach features a series of efficient transition metal-catalyzed reactions commencing with an enantioselective rhodium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation followed by a regioselective allylic alkylation and a diastereoselective rhodium(I)-catalyzed [5 + 2] cycloaddition. This strategy was applied to the first enantioselective syntheses of tremulenediol A and tremulenolide A.
[反应:见正文] 本文描述了一种对映选择性构建震颤烷倍半萜骨架的方法。该方法的特点是一系列高效的过渡金属催化反应,起始于对映选择性铑(II)催化的分子内环丙烷化反应,随后是区域选择性烯丙基烷基化反应和非对映选择性铑(I)催化的[5 + 2]环加成反应。该策略应用于震颤二醇A和震颤内酯A的首次对映选择性合成。
