The total synthesis of nyingchinoids A and B has been achieved through successive rearrangements of a 1,2-dioxane intermediate that was assembled using a visible-light photoredox-catalysed aerobic [2+2+2] cycloaddition. Nyingchinoid D was synthesised with a competing [2+2] cycloaddition. Based on NMR data and biosynthetic speculation, we proposed a structure revision of the related natural product rasumatranin D, which was confirmed through total synthesis. Under photoredox conditions, we observed the conversion of a cyclobutane into a 1,2-dioxane through retro-[2+2] cycloaddition followed by aerobic [2+2+2] cycloaddition.
通过连续重排使用可见光光氧化还原催化有氧[2+2+2]环加成组装的 1,2-二氧杂环己烷中间体,实现了 nyingchinoids A 和 B 的全合成。通过竞争[2+2]环加成合成了 nyingchinoid D。根据 NMR 数据和生物合成推测,我们提出了相关天然产物 rasumatranin D 的结构修订,通过全合成得到了证实。在光氧化还原条件下,我们观察到通过反-[2+2]环加成将环丁烷转化为 1,2-二氧杂环己烷,然后进行有氧[2+2+2]环加成。
