We have developed a catalytic asymmetric synthesis of (S)-4-ethyl-6,6-(ethylenedioxy)-7,8-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrano[3,4-f]indolizine-3,10(4H)dione (5 a), a synthetic intermediate for (20S)-camptothecin analogues. A key step in this synthesis is an asymmetric α-hydroxylation of a lactone with a vinylogous pyridone structure (8 a) by using a guanidine-urea bifunctional organocatalyst. The present oxidation was successfully applied to the synthesis of C20-modified derivatives of (+)-C20-desethylbenzylcamptothecin (13).
我们开发了一种(S)-4-乙基-6,6-(亚乙基二氧基)-7,8-二氢-4-羟基-1H-吡喃并[3,4-f]吲哚嗪-3,10(4H)二酮(5a)的催化不对称合成方法,(5a)是(20S)喜树碱类似物的合成中间体。该合成中的关键步骤是使用胍-脲双功能有机催化剂对具有乙烯基吡啶酮结构的内酯(8a)进行不对称α-羟化。目前的氧化反应成功地应用于(+)-C20-去乙基苯甲酰喜树碱(13)的 C20 修饰衍生物的合成。
