Exhaustive degradation of the ring D of 3,20-epoxy ent-kaurane-type diterpene maoecrystal A

This study described a new approach for exhaustive degradation of the ring D of maoecrystal A (1), an ent-kaurane-type diterpene from Isodon eriocalyx, in seven steps mainly involving retro-aldol reaction, epoxylation, NaIO₄ oxidation, and Baeyer-Villiger process in a 19% overall yield.     

Diterpenoids from Isodon Eriocalyx

Two new diterpenoids, Maoecrystal U and epi‐maoecrystal P , together with nine known diterpenoids and eight other known compounds were isolated from Isodon eriocalyx ( ). The structures of two new diterpenoids were elucidated as 6β‐acetoxy‐15β‐hydroxy‐3α,20‐epoxy‐ent‐kaur‐16‐ene‐1,7‐dione and 16(S)‐methoxymethy‐6β,7β‐dihydroxy‐7α,20‐epoxy‐ent‐kaur‐2,3‐ethenylene‐1,15‐dione on the basis of spectroscopic evidence, especially by 2D NMR techniques.
