Expedient asymmetric total syntheses of both (R)-podoblastin-S and (R)-lachnelluloic acid, representative of natural 3-acyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones, were performed. Compared with the reported total synthesis of (R)-podoblastin-S (14 steps, overall 5% yield), the present study was achieved in only five steps in an overall 40% yield and with 98% ee (HPLC analysis). In a similar strategy, the first asymmetric total synthesis of the relevant (R)-lachnelluloic acid was achieved in an overall 40% yield with 98% ee (HPLC analysis). The crucial step utilized readily accessible and reliable Soriente and Scettri's Ti(OiPr)₄/(S)-BINOL‒catalyzed asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol addition of 1,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy)diene, derived from ethyl acetoacetate with n-butanal for (R)- podoblastin-S and n-pentanal for (R)-lachnelluloic acid. With the comparison of the specific rotation values between the natural product and the synthetic specimen, the hitherto unknown absolute configuration at the C(6) position of (-)-lachnelluloic acid was unambiguously elucidated as 6R.
实现了对天然3-酰基-5,6-二氢-2H-吡喃-2-酮的代表物(R)-足母细胞蛋白-S和(R)-lachnelluloic酸的便捷不对称全合成。与已报道的(R)-足母细胞蛋白-S的全合成(14步,总产率5%)相比,本研究仅用五步就完成了,总产率为40%,对映体过量值(ee)为98%(高效液相色谱分析)。采用类似策略,首次实现了相关(R)-lachnelluloic酸的不对称全合成,总产率为40%,ee为98%(高效液相色谱分析)。关键步骤利用了易于获得且可靠的Soriente和Scettri的Ti(OiPr)₄/(S)-联萘酚催化的不对称Mukaiyama羟醛加成反应,该反应以乙酰乙酸乙酯与正丁醛反应生成的1,3-双(三甲基硅氧基)二烯用于合成(R)-足母细胞蛋白-S,与正戊醛反应生成的1,3-双(三甲基硅氧基)二烯用于合成(R)-lachnelluloic酸。通过比较天然产物和合成样品的比旋光度值,明确阐明了(-)-lachnelluloic酸C(6)位迄今未知的绝对构型为6R。
