Star quality: Goniopectenoside B, a minor asterosaponin from starfish Goniopecten demonstrans with antifouling activity, has been synthesized in a convergent 21 steps and in 4.3 % overall yield starting from adrenosterone. This represents the first synthesis of a complex asterosaponin, which are ubiquitous and characteristic in starfish as defense chemicals (see figure).
来自星盘 Goniopecten demonstrans 的次要甾醇皂苷 Goniopectenoside B 具有抗污活性,已从肾上腺酮出发,通过 21 步的收敛性合成,以 4.3%的总收率合成。这代表了复杂甾醇皂苷的首次合成,这些皂苷在海星中普遍存在且是其作为防御化学物质的特征(见图)。
