Abstract: | Reactions of a series of unsaturated bicyclic [2.2.n] endoperoxides with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence TMSOTf or SnCl4 provides the cis-configured endoperoxides 9a-12. It is proposed that this novel reaction proceeds via attack of the allylsilane on the carbocation derived from heterolytic cleavage of the endoperoxide bridge. The reaction proceeds with a high degree of diastereoselectivity and we propose that the bulky -CH2SiMe3 substituent adopts an equatorial position in a product-like transition state. In contrast to Fenozan B0-7, these compounds displayed poor antimalarial activity versus chloroquine-resistant parasites in vitro. |
