The first asymmetric synthesis of ent-fragransin C was reported. The key step involves an intramolecular C-O bond formation (furan ring formation) via chemoselective generation of the benzylic carbocation leading to the 2,3-anti-3,4-syn-4,5-anti-tetrahydrofuran moiety as a single diastereomer in good yield. Our synthesis confirms that ent-fragransin C possesses 2R,3R,4S,5S configurations.
首次报道了对映-香豆素C的不对称合成。关键步骤涉及通过苄基碳正离子的化学选择性生成进行分子内C-O键形成(呋喃环形成),以良好的产率得到单一非对映异构体的2,3-反式-3,4-顺式-4,5-反式四氢呋喃部分。我们的合成证实对映-香豆素C具有2R,3R,4S,5S构型。
