Divergent Synthesis of the Co-isolated Mycotoxins Longianone, Isopatulin, and (Z)-Ascladiol via Furan Oxidation
文摘
Longianone and the biosynthetically related mycotoxins isopatulin and (Z)-ascladiol were prepared following a divergent route from a readily available furan diol. The route toward longianone features an unprecedented TBAF-promoted intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction to a conjugated keto enoate, and the oxidation of dihydrolongianone to longianone with stabilized IBX. The route to isopatulin features a chemoenzymatic synthesis of (Z)-ascladiol, and the regioselective oxidation of (Z)-ascladiol to isopatulin with MnO2.
