日本菊花螺Siphonaria Japonia化学成分的研究(I)

近年来相继从菊花螺属(Siphonaria)海洋软体动物中分离出一系列聚丙酸酯(Polypropi-onate)类化合物.这类化合物在自然界罕见,被认为是菊花螺属软体动物的典型代谢产物.本文实验所用的菊花螺采自福建省湄洲湾莲城半岛.该动物味很苦,有清凉解毒之功.     

Biosynthesis of aglajnes, polypropionate allomones of the opisthobranch mollusc Bulla striata

The biogenesis of aglajnes, polypropionate allomones of the cephalaspidean mollusc Bulla striata, has been investigated in vivo by feeding experiments. Incorporation of the committed precursor, [1-¹⁴C]-propionate, into aglajne-1 (1) and -3 (3) established the de novo origin of these compounds in B. striata. In the letter we also discuss briefly the ecological meaning of the origin of polypropionates in B. striata and in other cephalaspidean molluscs.     

The stereochemical assignment of acyclic polyols: a computational study of the NMR data of a library of stereopentad sequences from polyketide natural products

The reliable stereochemical assignment of flexible molecules, such as acyclic polypropionates is an enormously challenging task. This is illustrated by the NMR chemical shifts for a complete set of sixteen diastereomeric stereopentads whose experimental data is reported here for the first time. Although the experimental spectra are very similar to each other, analysis of the similarity between the shifts of different diastereoisomers reveals that some diastereoisomers are much more distinctive than others. In addition, the NMR shifts of the sixteen compounds have also been calculated using DFT GIAO calculations, and the use of our recently developed CP3 parameter for structure assignment is illustrated for these molecules. Even in cases where the experimental spectra are very similar, our CP3 parameter makes possible the correct assignment of pairs of diastereoisomers with high confidence.     

Iodoolefinic polypropionate building blocks from vinyl silanes with control of geometry by solvent and by neighboring group participation

Iododesilylation of trisubstituted (Z)-silyl olefins proceeds with retention of geometry in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) but, for unhindered cases, with inversion of geometry in DMSO. When an acyloxy substituent is positioned to participate in the reaction, the protocol consistently leads to inversion of geometry.     

Regioselective cleavage of cis- and trans-2-methyl-3,4-epoxy alcohols with diethylpropynyl aluminum

The regioselectivity of the reaction of diethylpropynyl aluminum with diastereomeric 2-methyl-3,4-epoxy alcohols was studied. The preferred side of attack (1,3-diol vs 1,4-diol product) depends on the stereochemical disposition of the substituents. NMR studies showed that the regiochemistry of this reaction is governed by the aluminum coordination pattern. Protection of the alcohol with MEM provides the 1,3-diol product in systems where the free alcohol produced the 1,4-diols.     

Total Synthesis of Polypropionate Natural Products: Application of New Sulfur Dioxide Chemistry

Abstract

In the presence of a Lewis or protic acid at low temperature, electron-rich dienes add to sulfur dioxide and carbon nucleophiles generating silyl sulfinates. The latter can be transformed into valuable polyketide precursors.
