A concise approach to the tetrahydroxanthone natural products employing vinylogous addition of siloxyfurans to benzopyryliums and a late-stage Dieckmann cyclization has been developed. With this methodology, chiral, racemic forms of the natural products blennolides B and blennolide C have been synthesized in a maximum of four steps from a 5-hydroxychromone substrate. The regio- and diastereoselectivity of the vinylogous additions was probed using computational studies, which suggested the involvement of Diels-Alder-like transition states.
采用硅氧基呋喃的烯醇加成反应和后期的狄克曼环化反应,开发了一种简洁的四羟基蒽酮天然产物合成方法。利用这种方法,从 5-羟色酮底物出发,通过最多四步反应,就能立体选择性地合成手性、外消旋形式的天然产物 blennolide B 和 blennolide C。通过计算研究探究了烯醇加成的区域和立体选择性,这表明涉及到 Diels-Alder 类似的过渡态。
