A concise synthesis (under 10 steps) of the stereotetrad core of the briarane diterpenoids is reported. This approach harnesses the unique reactivity of salicylate ester derived 2,5-cyclohexadienones to quickly build complexity. In particular, a highly diastereoselective acetylide conjugate addition/β-ketoester alkylation sequence was used to set the relative configuration of the C1 (quaternary) and C10 (tertiary) vicinal stereocenters. The sterochemical outcome of the β-ketoester alkylation appears to be governed by torsional steering in the transition state.
报道了一种简洁的(少于10步)蔷薇烷二萜类化合物立体四元核心的合成方法。该方法利用水杨酸酯衍生的2,5-环己二烯酮的独特反应性来快速构建复杂性。特别地,采用了高度非对映选择性的乙炔化物共轭加成/β-酮酯烷基化序列来确定C1(季碳)和C10(叔碳)邻位立体中心的相对构型。β-酮酯烷基化的立体化学结果似乎受过渡态中的扭转导向控制。
