Two diastereomeric epoxides 4a and 4b corresponding to the C(25)-C(36) fragment of arenicolides A and B were synthesized in a stereoselective manner involving the Pd(0)-catalyzed stereospecific methoxy substitution reaction of epoxy unsaturated ester 6 with B(OMe)(3) as the key step. Comparison of the (1)H NMR spectra of the synthetic compounds with that of arenicolide A revealed that the configuration of the epoxide in arenicolides A and B is 30R and 31R.
两种非对映环氧 4a 和 4b 对应于阿雷尼科利德 A 和 B 的 C(25)-C(36) 片段,以 Pd(0)-催化的环氧不饱和酯 6 与 B(OMe)(3) 的立体特异性甲氧基取代反应为关键步骤,以立体选择性方式合成。将合成化合物的 (1)H NMR 谱与阿雷尼科利德 A 的 (1)H NMR 谱进行比较,表明阿雷尼科利德 A 和 B 中环氧化物的构型为 30R 和 31R。
