Total synthesis of cis-sylvaticin and synthetic studies towards the synthesis of adjacent THF-THF and THF-THP Annonaceous acetogenins
The total synthesis of potent antitumour agent cis-sylvaticin (1.100) has been
completed. Notable steps included the alcoholytic kinetic resolution of epoxide
2.2, two permanganate promoted oxidative cyclisation reactions, a tethered
RCM to unite the two major fragments and the use of P4 phoshazene base to
install the butenolide precursor.

Synthesis of adjacent THP-THF and bis-THF cores via cascade oxidative
cyclisation reactions with permanganate is an attractive route to many
Annonaceous acetogenins. Attempted synthesis of an adjacent THP-THF
core and synthesis of an adjacent bis-THF core are discussed.

Abstract

The total synthesis of potent antitumour agent cis-sylvaticin (1.100) has been
completed. Notable steps included the alcoholytic kinetic resolution of epoxide
2.2, two permanganate promoted oxidative cyclisation reactions, a tethered
RCM to unite the two major fragments and the use of P4 phoshazene base to
install the butenolide precursor.

Synthesis of adjacent THP-THF and bis-THF cores via cascade oxidative
cyclisation reactions with permanganate is an attractive route to many
Annonaceous acetogenins. Attempted synthesis of an adjacent THP-THF
core and synthesis of an adjacent bis-THF core are discussed.
