A concise and protecting-group-free total synthesis of the antiproliferative natural product (±)-deguelin (2) was accomplished in four steps and 62% overall yield from commercially available precursors. The key transformation employed a vinyl iodide as the pivotal building block to construct the 4-acylchromene substructure present in deguelin. Subsequent CuO-mediated α-hydroxylation of deguelin (2) afforded tephrosin (3) in 90% yield.
采用商业可得的起始原料,通过四步反应以 62%的总收率简洁、无需保护基、高效地完成了具有抗增殖活性的天然产物(±)-deguelin(2)的全合成。该关键转化利用乙烯基碘化物作为关键构建块,构建了 deguelin 中存在的 4-酰基色烯亚结构。随后,CuO 介导的 deguelin(2)的α-羟化反应以 90%的收率得到了 tephrosin(3)。
