Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Benzobicyclo[3.2.1]octanes

Abstract: Lawsone aldehydes were directly transformed into the biologically important, unique carbon skeleton of chiral methanobenzo[f]azulenes/methanodibenzo [a,d][7] annulenes in high dr and ee and in very good yields by using quinine-thiourea-catalyzed tandem Wittig/intramolecular Michael/intramolecular aldol reactions. This asymmetric catalytic tandem protocol will be highly useful because these final molecules are basic skeletons of important antibiotics.

“…One of its structural features is the unprecedented bicyclo[3.2.1]octane moiety derived from 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (lawsone), and it is the only known natural product containing such a structural motif. 7 Meanwhile, its cage-like structure with seven rings and six continuous stereocenters, including one all-carbon quaternary center, makes it an attractive, but challenging synthetic target. During the preparation of this manuscript, George and co-workers reported their elegant bio-inspired approach to peshawaraquinone ( 1 ) via dimerization of dehydro-α-lapachone.…”
