Total synthesis of eremophilone

Abstract: A stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-eremophilone (1) is reported starting from the known 7-epinootkatone. The synthetic sequence involves reductive deconjugation of 7-epinootkatone to homoallylic alcohol 10. Dehydration of 10 by pyrolysis of its acetate gives triene 18, which can be selectively epoxidized at the more substituted double bond to give 19. Mild acid catalyzed rearrangement of this allylic epoxide is effected with lithium perchlorate in refluxing benzene, and, after base-catalyzed equilibratio… Show more

“…The series of monosubstituted benzenes could be subclassified into three groups according to their regioselectivity (experimental evidence) [14,15] : orto-para (o-p) directing (substituted with electron-releasing groups, ERGs), meta (m-) directing (substituted with electron withdrawing groups) and ipso (i-)directing (where the substituent is the leaving group). Consequently, it is expected that a good theoretical reactivity descriptor can adequately account for this regioselectivity.…”

“…[11] Over time, several cases where FMO fails to predict reactivity, for example, electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions have been reported. [12][13][14][15] It has been recognized that the reactivity of these systems is not determined only by the HOMO or LUMO but one or more different orbitals take place in the response to the reagent (under perturbation). [16][17][18] This could be rationalized within the orbital perturbation theory.…”

“…Impurities N and J could be synthesized from the same starting material (Y101), as shown in Scheme 5. Impurity N was obtained by reaction of Y101 with acetic anhydride in the presence of DMAP in CH 2 Cl 2 at 30°C [17][18][19]. Treatment of impurity N with mCPBA in CH 2 Cl 2 gave impurity J.…”

“…Ethers with comparable polar and hydrogen bonding solubility parameters to lipophilic amines have an outstanding extraction efficiency but also proved somewhat unsuitable, since the ether group is chemically unstable during the subsequent thermal separation, resulting in solvent oxidation and formation of explosive vapor mixtures. A single alkenyl function group has a positive influence on the extraction effect, but the unsaturated carboncarbon bond might cause unexpected reactions such as oligomerization and electrophilic addition [23]. Consequently, alkanes with their high chemical stability were selected for extraction.…”
