Abstract:
A concise enantioselective synthesis of A/B bicyclic segment of naturally occurring α-pyrone meroterpenoid pyripyropene A is achieved in 9 steps (LLS) and 7.5% yield starting from R-(?)-carvone. The significant points of the synthesis include: (1) an intramolecular 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to construct the A ring and assemble C4 quaternary carbon stereocenter as well; (2) reductive cleavage of the oxazole motif utilized Raney Ni/B(OCH3)3.
