Stereocontrolled synthesis of kelsoene by the homo-favorskii rearrangement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
[reaction: see text] (+/-)-Kelsoene (4) has been synthesized from 2,5-dihydroanisole in 16 steps in 12.5% overall yield. The key step involves a base-catalyzed reaction of gamma-keto tosylate (5), which effects a homo-Favorskii rearrangement to 16 as well as the corresponding intramolecular S(N)2 product 15 from the enolate of 5. Ketone 15 can efficiently be isomerized to cyclobutanone 17 having the kelsoene carbon skeleton upon acid treatment.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. Itis a leading disorder of the elderly male population. Excessive production of dihydrotestosteronehas been implicated in this pathological condition. Steroidal 5α-reductase is a membrane boundNADPH dependent enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone (T) todihydrotestosterone (DHT). The...

The effect of ring size on the photo-Favorskii induced ring-contraction reaction of the hydroxybenzocycloalkanonyl acetate and mesylate esters (7a-d, 8a-c) has provided new insight into the mechanism of the rearrangement. By monotonically decreasing the ring size in these cyclic derivatives, the increasing ring strain imposed on the formation of the elusive bicyclic spirocyclopropanone 20 resul...

A four-step stereocontrolled synthesis of polyfunctionalized cis-decalins is described, involving oxidation of 2-methoxyphenol, intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction, olefination, and Cope rearrangement. Application of this efficient strategy to the total syntheses of (()-eremopetasidione, (()-3â-angeloyloxyfuranoeremophilane, and (()-3â-methacryloyloxyfuranoeremophilane was accomplished from cre...
متن کاملEncM, a versatile enterocin biosynthetic enzyme involved in Favorskii oxidative rearrangement, aldol condensation, and heterocycle-forming reactions.
The bacteriostatic natural product enterocin from the marine microbe "Streptomyces maritimus" has an unprecedented carbon skeleton that is derived from an aromatic polyketide biosynthetic pathway. Its caged tricyclic, nonaromatic core is derived from a linear poly-beta-ketide precursor that formally undergoes a Favorskii-like oxidative rearrangement. In vivo characterization of the gene encM th...
