Abstract
Both enantiomers of secoisolariciresinol and enantiopure (-)-enterolactone were synthesized through a highly stereoselective convergent synthesis. An Evans diastereoselective alkylation followed by a substrate-induced diastereoselective α-alkylation of the newly formed optically active β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactone gave the β-β′ linkage of the target skeleton. The (S,S)- and (R,R)-enantiomers of secoisolariciresinol and (-)-enterolactone were obtained in 12-14% (11 steps) and 20% (7 steps) overall yield, respectively.
Key words
total synthesis - natural product - lactones - asymmetry - diastereoselective alkylation
