Abstract

The first diastereoselective synthesis of paeonilide, a novel anti-PAF-active monoterpenoid, starting from R-(-)-carvone was reported. The absolute configuration for paeonilide was also ­established.

Key words

diastereoselective synthesis - (+)-paeonilide - absolute configuration - monoterpenoid - carvone

8

In the synthetic work published in ref. 3, discriminating between the two primary hydroxyl groups was achieved by an enzymatic acetylation towards substrate 3 and diastereoisomeric monoacetate of diol 3 was obtained with a ratio of 13: 1. In our case, bromoetherification of diol 3 led to only desired diastereisomer 15.

12

Natural paeonilide was provided by professor J. K. Liu. The optical rotation of synthetic paeonilide compared well to the value of authentic sample.
