Total Synthesis of Eremophilane-type Sesquiterpenoids: (±)-Eremophilenolide, (±)-Tetrahydroligularenolide, and (±)-Aristolochene

Abstract: The total synthesis of the racemic forms of the eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids eremophilenolide (21, tetrahydroligularenolide (3). and aristolochene (4) is described. The octalone 7 was converted via an efficient, regioselective route into the keto ester 12, which served as a common synthetic intermediate for the preparation of the three sesquiterpenoids. Successive subjection of 12 t o alkylation, hydrolysis, and decarboxylation afforded the keto acid 14. Hydrogenation of the latter provided both the cis-… Show more

“…Finally, removal of the hydroxyl group on C-4 was achieved as described in the synthesis of compounds 40a,b by treatment of 102 with acetic anhydride/pyridine and reduction of the resulting 3-acetoxy-2-butenoyl esters with potassium in tert-butylamine. During this reaction the inversion in the configuration of C-4 took place as a consequence of the preferential protonation from the less hindered side of the molecule, opposite to the angular methyl C-14, to give an almost quantitative yield of a product that showed spectral data coincident with those described in the literature for (−)-aristolochene (83) [42].…”

“…As a continuation of our research on silicon-guided rearrangements of epoxy decalines, we report here the synthesis and acid-promoted rearrangement of several 4,5-epoxy-9trimethylsilyl-eudesmanes and 15-nor-eudesmanes and the application of such rearrangements in a total synthesis of (-)aristolochene, an eremophilane sesquiterpene that has been isolated from Aristolochia indica, 16 Bixa orellana, 17 and Dumortiera hirsuta 18 and which is a component of the defensive secretion of some termites. 19 (-)-Aristolochene has been synthesized in racemic form 20 and also in enantiomerically pure form starting from (+)-valencene. 21 Results and Discussion 1.…”
