The development of efficient reactions for the one-pot construction of bicyclic ring systems bearing two quaternary carbon centres at their bridgehead positions represents a significant challenge to synthetic chemistry. The development of new methods capable of overcoming this challenge is highly desirable, because this motif can be found in a wide range of natural products with significant biological activities. Herein, we report an efficient [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between an enal and an alleno rhodium species, which was generated in situ from the corresponding enynol via a retro metal-propargylation reaction, to give [3.3.0] and [3.4.0] bicyclic systems bearing two quaternary atoms at their bridgehead positions. The developed chemistry has been successfully applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of natural product (-)-lingzhiol (4) for the first time in 17 steps.
一锅法构建桥环双环体系,同时在桥头位置构建两个季碳原子中心,这对合成化学来说是一个巨大的挑战。发展能够克服这一挑战的新方法是非常可取的,因为这个结构单元存在于具有显著生物活性的广泛的天然产物中。在此,我们报告了一种有效的[3+2]环加成反应,醛与烯丙基铑物种反应,烯丙基铑物种通过相应的烯炔醇的反金属丙炔基化反应原位生成,生成了在桥头位置带有两个季碳原子的[3.3.0]和[3.4.0]双环体系。该方法已成功应用于天然产物(-)-灵菌酚(4)的首次不对称全合成,共 17 步。
