An asymmetric synthesis of two anticancer natural products, candenatenins B and C, is described, leading to a revision of the originally assigned stereochemistry. The synthesis follows a Diels-Alder/retro-Diels Alder strategy using a chiral anthracene auxiliary to access both targets with 90% ee. The inherent structural qualities of the auxiliary allow for both regio- and diastereoselective transformations.
描述了两种抗癌天然产物坎德奈宁B和C的不对称合成,从而对最初指定的立体化学进行了修正。该合成采用狄尔斯-阿尔德/逆狄尔斯-阿尔德策略,使用手性蒽辅助剂以90%的对映体过量获得两个目标产物。辅助剂的固有结构特性允许区域和非对映选择性转化。
