Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-Goniothalesdiol

Abstract: Stereoselective synthesis of antitumor tetrahydrofuran (+)-goniothalesdiol was achieved in high overall yield from (-)-D-tartaric acid. Key features include an FeCl3 mediated THF formation with very high selectivity. Synthesis of natural gonithalesdiol and its analogue 2,5-bis-epi-goniothalesdiol was achieved from a common intermediate.

“…Synthesis of 36 from 16 was accomplished by us, earlier in our work concerning the total synthesis of related natural product goniothalesdiol. 13 Thus, alcohol 16 was converted to the tetrahydrofuran 36 by using the procedure described by us. 13 Ozonolysis of 36 furnished the corresponding lactol, which on subsequent oxidation with Ag 2 CO 3 impregnated on Celite afforded dihydroaltholactone 37 in 82% yield.…”

“…Whereas no improvements were noted for the thymine, uracil and 5F-uracil cases (entries 2, 4 and 8), significantly higher yields were noted with adenine (entry 6, 60% yield), along with cytosine and its derivative (entries 10 and 12). The role of the Lewis acid in these reactions has yet to be elucidated, but its acidic character could allow for complexation to the sulfonate oxygens of the C4′ protecting group, enhancing its leaving group ability …”

“…The synthetic sequence commenced with the addition of 1.5 equiv of n -heptylmagnesium bromide to diamide 6 and afforded the γ-oxo-amide 7 in 73% yield (Scheme ) . Reduction of the keto group in 7 with NaBH 4 /CeCl 3 gave a nonseparable diastereomeric mixture of alcohols in a 95:5 ratio, 5 being the major diastereomer in 90% yield.…”
