Photochemical Benzannulation Applied to the Total Synthesis of Hybocarpone and Hamigerans
註釋A number of naturally occurring substances contain ring systems which are fused to an aromatic nucleus. A general and streamlined method for the construction of certain benzannulated bi- and polycyclic carbon frameworks has been investigated and its scope and limitations described. This method, based upon the photochemical generation and subsequent Diels-Alder trapping of hydroxy- o -quinodimethanes, was optimized to set the stage for the total synthesis of hybocarpone and the hamigerans. The synthetic route to hybocarpone features a radical-based dimerization event which may not be too dissimilar to the pathway adopted by nature for its construction. The intramolecular trapping of photo-generated hydroxy-o-quinodimethanes was the centerpiece in a successful asymmetric synthesis of several members of the hamigeran family including hamigerans A and B.
