A unified and concise first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-citreoisocoumarin (), (-)-citreoisocoumarinol (), 12--citreoisocoumarinol (), and (-)-mucorisocoumarins A () and B () have been accomplished from the common intermediate (-)-6--methyl-citreoisocoumarin (). Central to the synthetic approach is a regioselective gold(I)-catalyzed 6-- cyclization strategy for the construction of the isocoumarin skeleton. The other key steps in this approach included Sonogashira coupling, Tsuji-Wacker oxidation, Evans-Saksena's 1,3--reduction, and Narasaka-Prasad's 1,3--reduction. The synthetic results unambiguously confirmed the absolute configuration of the natural products mucorisocoumarins A and B as (-)-(10,12)- and (+)-(10,12)-, respectively.
已完成从共同中间体(-)-6--甲基-香豆素()到(-)-柠檬异香豆素()、(-)柠檬异香豆醇()、12--柠檬异香豆醇()和(-)-粘霉素异香豆素 A () 和 B () 的 (-)-统一简洁的首次不对称全合成。该合成方法的核心是一种区域选择性的金(I)催化 6--环化策略,用于构建异香豆素骨架。该方法中的其他关键步骤包括 Sonogashira 偶联、Tsuji-Wacker 氧化、Evans-Saksena 的 1,3--还原和 Narasaka-Prasad 的 1,3--还原。合成结果明确证实了天然产物粘霉素异香豆素 A 和 B 的绝对构型分别为 (-)-(10,12)-和 (+)-(10,12)-。
