A first total synthesis of acortatarins A, B, and an enantiomer of the proposed structure of acortatarin B is described by using readily available d-sugars. This convergent total synthesis revealed the revision of the absolute configuration of acortatarin A and structural revision of acortatarin B. The key steps involved are regioselective epoxide opening with deprotonated 2,5-disubstituted pyrrole and spiroketalization.
首次利用易得的 d-糖实现了 acortatarin A、B 及其假定结构的 acortatarin B 对映异构体的全合成。这种收敛性的全合成揭示了 acortatarin A 的绝对构型的修订以及 acortatarin B 的结构修订。所涉及的关键步骤包括用去质子化的 2,5-二取代吡咯进行区域选择性环氧化开环和螺缩酮化。
