The first nonracemic synthesis of (+)-geranyllinaloisocyanide, starting with (-)-lactic acid methyl ester, has been accomplished by exploiting a [3.3] sigmatropic rearrangement of allyl cyanate. The synthesis enables assignment of the S configuration of the C(3) isocyano substituted, quaternary stereogenic center in natural geranyllinaloisocyanide.
首次采用[3.3]σ重排反应,以(-)-乳酸甲酯为起始原料,完成了(+)-香叶基异氰酸酯的非对映体全合成。该合成方法可确定天然香叶基异氰酸酯中 C(3)位取代的、季碳手性中心的 S 构型。
