Abstract: | The first total synthesis of natural (+)-sesbanimide A (1) and (-)-sesbanimide B (2), potent antitumor alkaloids isolated from the seeds of the leguminous plant, Sesbania drummondii, has been accomplished starting from D-(+)-xylose. This total synthesis involves efficient construction of the optically active AB-ring system from D-(+)-xylose, introduction of the C5-unit into the AB-ring system in a form of exo-methylene-γ-lactone, and elaboration of the labile C-ring system at the last stage of the synthesis. The absolute configurations of natural 1 and 2 could be obviously established by our total synthesis. |
