A Concise, Biomimetic Total Synthesis of (+)-Davanone

Abstract: A concise, biomimetic synthesis of the antifungal and antispasmodic natural product (+)-davanone is described. The key stereoselective reactions are a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, a thiazolium-catalyzed esterification, and a palladium-mediated cyclization. All carbons are derived from isoprene units and no protecting groups are used, permitting an atom- and redox-economical synthesis.

“…[81] Neben Estergruppen wurden auch andere Funktionalitäten, wie Amide [82] und Acylazide, [83] durch diese NHC-Redoxmethode erhalten. [88] Die Behandlung des a,b-Epoxyaldehyds 114 mit dem Thiazoliumsalz 113 und der Hünig-Base lçste eine Epoxidçffnung/Veresterung unter Bildung des anti-Diastereomers 115 in guter Ausbeute aus. [84] Diese Zwischenverbindungen erwiesen sich als ausgezeichnete konjugierte Akzep- toren.…”

“…[87] In 2009, Vosburg and co-workers reported a short total synthesis of (+)-davanone involving an epoxide-opening NHC reaction (Scheme 20). [88] The treatment of a,b-epoxyaldehyde 114 with the thiazolium salt 113 and Hunigs base triggered an epoxide opening/esterification to afford anti diastereomer 115 in good yield. A palladiumcatalyzed allylic O-alkylation, formation of the Weinreb amide, and Grignard addition furnished (+)-davanone (116) in only seven steps from geranyl acetate.…”

“…152 The sesquiterpene davanone exhibits antifungal and antispasmodic properties. 153 In 2009, Vosburg and co-workers 154 reported a synthetic strategy beginning with the known epoxy alcohol, available from geranyl acetate via allylic hydroxylation and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation. 155 The prediction that the inherent diastereofacial preference of 199 would be to form trans-200 rather than the desired cis-configured product 156 prompted them to carry out the reaction with a range of chiral catalysts and reaction conditions.…”
