Germacrane derivatives from Santolina chamaecyparissus
1991
Abstract The aerial parts of Santolina chamaecyparissus subsp. squarrosa yieleded five new germacrane derivatives and a known eudesmane dialcohol.
Orobanche apuana (Orobanchaceae) a new species endemic to Italy
2015
Orobanche apuana , a new species belonging to Orobanche sect. Orobanche , is described and illustrated from the Apuan Alps, Central Italy. Its relationships with the other species of the group of O. caryophyllacea ( O . grex Galeatae ) and with other Orobanche that parasitize Santolina species are examined. The names Boulardia latisquama , Orobanche lutea and O. teucrii are here lectotypified.
Synthesis of Spirovetivane Sesquiterpenes from Santonin. Synthesis of (+)-Anhydro-β-rotunol and All Diastereomers of 6,11-Spirovetivadiene
2004
The synthesis of the spirovetivane sesquiterpenes (+)-anhydro-beta-rotunol and all the diastereomers of 6,11-spirovetivadiene in enantiomerically pure form has been achieved starting from santonin. The key step is the silicon-guided acid-promoted rearrangement of a 1-trimethylsilyl-4,5-epoxyeudesmane prepared from santonin in several steps involving lactone reductive opening, conjugate addition of TMSLi-CuCN, deoxygenation of a carbonyl group, and epoxidation. Rearrangement of the epoxide gave a spiro[4,5]decanediol which was used as a synthetic intermediate. From this compound, (+)-anhydro-beta-rotunol was prepared after elimination of the primary hydroxyl group in the side chain, followed…
Synthesis of two natural 8-oxo-β-cyperone derivatives from (−)-santonin.
1993
Abstract This paper reports on the chemical transformations of (−)-santonin into (+)-8-oxo-β-cyperone and (+)-12-hydroxy-8-oxo-β-cyperone involving 8-oxo group introduction and elaboration of the side chain.
Synthesis of elemane bis-lactones structurally related to vernolepin
1998
Abstract The chemical transformation of santonin into an elemane bis -lactone structurally related to the antitumour compound vernolepin is reported. The transformation of ring A of santonin into a hemiacetal δ-lactone was achieved in eleven steps. The spectroscopic characteristics of the synthetic product obtained in this way revealed that the proposed structure for the natural product should be revised.
Synthesis of plagiochiline N from santonin.
2001
This article reports the transformation of O-acetylisophotosantonin, obtained by photochemical rearrangement of santonin, into plagiochiline N, an ent-2,3-secoaromadendrane isolated from Plagiochila ovalifolia. The synthesis was carried out in a sequence involving as the key steps (a) the substitution of the lactone moiety by a gem-dimethylcyclopropane ring through a synthetic intermediate having a C(6)-C(7) double bond and (b) the ozonolysis of the C(2)-C(3) bond followed by cyclization to the dihydropyran ring characteristic of plagiochiline N. Spectroscopic data of the synthetic product fully coincided with the reported data for the natural product.
Stereoselective synthesis of 7,11-guaien-8,12-olides from santonin. Synthesis of podoandin and (+)-zedolactone A.
2000
Photochemical rearrangement of hydroxy ester 2, easily obtained from santonin (1), afforded butenolide 4, a good starting material for the synthesis of 7,11-guaien-8,12-olides. Compound 4 has been transformed into compound 10, which has been used for the synthesis of podoandin (5) and (+)-zedolactone A (ent-6). Regioselective elimination of the acetyl group on C10 afforded directly podoandin (5). For the synthesis of ent-6, a hydroxyl group has been regio- and stereoselectively introduced at the 4alpha-position through the 3alpha,4alpha-epoxide 15. The basic hydrolysis of the 10-acetyl group in compound 18 took place with concomitant intramolecular conjugated addition of the alkoxide to the…
Synthesis of (+)-Isoalantolactone and (+)-Isoalloalantolactone from (−)-Santonin
1992
Abstract This paper reports on the chemical conversion of (−)-santonin into (+)-isoalantolactone and (+)-isoalloalantolactone involving functionality transfer from C 6 to C 8 , refunctionalization of the ring A and the formation of the α-methylene-8 β,12-olide moiety.
ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Synthesis of 8,12-Furanoeudesmanes from Santonin. Absolute Stereochemistry of Natural Furanoeudesma-1,3-diene an…
2010
Ketobutenolide 3, easily obtained from santonin (1), has been transformed into two natural furanoeudesmanes 4 and 5, isolated from Commiphora molmol and Tubipora musica, respectively. trans- And cis-decalin systems were obtained by stereoselective reduction of the C4−C5 double bond in 3 in the following way: hydrogenation of 3 over Pd/C followed by acidic treatment gave the cis isomer 10 as the major product; selective hydrogenation of the C1-C2 double bond with the Wilkinson’s catalyst followed by reduction with NaTeH yielded mainly the trans isomer 9. Compounds 9 and 10 were transformed into 4 and 5 in parallel sequences. Optical rotation and CD measurements of the synthetic products rev…
Oxygenated germacranes from Santolina chamaecyparissus
1993
The polar fraction of an extract of Santolina chamaecyparissus ssp. squarrosa yielded six new germacrane derivatives and a novel seco-germacrane lactone. The structures have been derived from spectral data, X-ray diffraction and chemical correlations.
