Progress toward an asymmetric synthesis of euphanes is described. A C14-desmethyl euphane system possessing five differentially substituted and electronically distinct alkenes has been prepared. The route employed is based on sequential metallacycle-mediated annulative cross-coupling, double asymmetric Brønsted acid mediated intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and an oxidative rearrangement to establish the requisite C10 quaternary center. These studies have also led to the discovery of a novel euphane-based modulator of the Liver X Receptor.
描述了 euphanes 不对称合成的进展。已制备出具有五个不同取代且电子明显不同的烯烃的 C14-去甲 euphane 体系。所采用的路线基于顺序金属环介导的环加成交叉偶联、双不对称 Brønsted 酸介导的分子内 Friedel-Crafts 烷基化以及氧化重排以建立必要的 C10 季碳原子。这些研究还发现了一种新型基于 euphane 的肝 X 受体调节剂。
