The development of an efficient diastereoselective synthesis of the oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system bearing two oxygenated quaternary chiral centres represents a significant challenge. This motif can be found in a wide range of natural products with significant biological activities. Here we report the synthesis of such kind of scaffold using a cyclohexane-trans-1,4-diol with an alkyne side chain in the presence of Au(I) catalyst. This is a domino process in which two C-H, two C-O and one C-C bond is assembled through a sequence of cyclization/semi-pinacol rearrangements. This strategy has been successfully applied to the asymmetric formal total synthesis of (+)-cortistatins.
高效非对映选择性合成带有两个含氧季碳手性中心的氧杂双环[3.2.1]辛烷环系是一项重大挑战。这种结构单元存在于众多具有显著生物活性的天然产物中。在此,我们报道了在金(I)催化剂存在下,使用带有炔烃侧链的环己烷 - 反式 -1,4 - 二醇合成此类骨架的方法。这是一个多米诺过程,其中通过一系列环化/半频哪醇重排组装了两个C - H键、两个C - O键和一个C - C键。该策略已成功应用于(+) - 皮质抑素的不对称形式全合成。
