The development of a stereoselective one-pot oxidative [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement/Friedel-Crafts arylation that provides enantioenriched benzhydryl compounds is reported. The utility of this new transformation is demonstrated by the concise synthesis of several tetralone- and naphthyl-type lignan natural products, many of which display anti-malarial activity.
本文报道了一种对映选择性的一锅氧化[3,3]σ重排/Friedel-Crafts 芳基化反应,该反应提供了对映富集的苯甲酰基化合物。通过简洁合成几种四氢酮和萘基型木脂素天然产物,证明了这种新转化的实用性,其中许多产物具有抗疟活性。
