A total synthesis of the cytotoxic terpenoid hortonone C was accomplished and its absolute stereochemistry confirmed. Intermediate (+)- was synthesized using either an asymmetric conjugate addition strategy, or by elaboration of the Hajos-Parrish ketone. Reduction of (+)- under dissolving-metal conditions and trapping the enolate intermediate served to control the cis-stereochemistry at the ring fusion and provide a silyl enol ether necessary for ring expansion. Comparison of optical rotation data confirmed that the absolute configuration of natural hortonone C is (6,7,10).
完成了细胞毒性萜类化合物霍顿酮C的全合成,并确定了其绝对立体化学结构。中间体(+)- 通过不对称共轭加成策略或通过对哈约什-帕里什酮的衍生化来合成。在溶解金属条件下还原(+)- 并捕获烯醇盐中间体有助于控制环融合处的顺式立体化学,并提供环扩展所需的硅烯醇醚。旋光数据的比较证实天然霍顿酮C的绝对构型为(6,7,10)。
