The first total synthesis of (-)-plicatic acid has been achieved by a concise and enantioselective route. In this synthesis, a conceptually new strategy featuring an asymmetric epoxidation-intramolecular epoxy-ring-opening Friedel-Crafts reaction sequence was developed for the stereoselective construction of the 2,7'-cyclolignane skeleton bearing contiguous quaternary-quaternary-tertiary stereocenters. The implementation of this strategy was enabled by the development of a modified protocol for the Seebach epoxidation with TADOOH, which affords an unprecedented, highly enantioselective and diastereoselective epoxidation with a range of alpha-carbonyl-beta-substituted acrylates 3.
通过一条简洁且对映选择性的路线首次实现了(-)-plicatic酸的全合成。在该合成中,开发了一种概念上新的策略,其特征为不对称环氧化-分子内环氧开环傅克反应序列,用于立体选择性构建具有相邻季碳-季碳-叔碳立体中心的2,7'-环木脂素骨架。该策略的实施得益于开发了一种用TADOOH进行Seebach环氧化的改进方案,该方案能与一系列α-羰基-β-取代丙烯酸酯3进行前所未有的、高度对映选择性和非对映选择性环氧化。
