A 15-step total synthesis of (-)-lundurine A (1) from easily accessible (S)-pyrrolidinone 18 is reported. A Simmons-Smith reaction allows the efficient, simultaneous assembly of the cyclopropyl C ring, the six-membered D ring, the seven-membered E ring, and the quaternary carbon stereocenters at C2 and C7. The absolute configuration of natural (-)-lundurine A was deduced to be 2R,7R,20R based on the stepwise construction of the stereocenters during the total synthesis.
报道了从易得的(S)-吡咯烷酮 18 出发,经 15 步反应完成(-)-lundurine A(1)的全合成。Simmons-Smith 反应可以高效地同时构建环丙基 C 环、六元 D 环、七元 E 环以及 C2 和 C7 处的季碳立体中心。基于全合成过程中立体中心的逐步构建,推断天然(-)-lundurine A 的绝对构型为 2R,7R,20R。
