Research Abstract

In this research we had the following two results. 1) The synthesis of grandinal : We prepared grandinol by an alternate and improved procedurein three steps in 13% yield. Synthesis of the jensenone derivative was started 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene. n isovaleryl group was readily introduced by a reaction with isovaleryl chloride. Reduction of the isovaleryl trimethoxybenzene with LAH and subsequent dehydration by irradiation in CHCl_3 gave the styrene compound. Further, the styrene compound was reduced by treatment with Pt2O under H2 atmosphere to yield the alkylbenzene. By aromatic bromination, adding ClCO_2Me, elimination, reduction and oxidation, the jensenone derivative was synthesized in nine steps in 13% overall yiels. Having successfull prepared the desired compounds, the jensenone derivative was subjected to Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The desired product in 14% yield and the regio isomer in 18% yield were given. Finally, the desired product was subjected to deprotection of the hydroxy groups with BBr_3S(Me)_2. We accomplished the first synthesis of grandinal. 2) Structure-activity relationship of phloroglucinol compounds. We discuss the structure-activity relationship of phloroglucinol compounds on the basis of molecular mechanics caluculations. When these compounds were superimposed on each other and the strongest inhibitor was applied as a template, the repulsion energy of the other compounds was proportional to the logarithmic attachment-inhibiting activity. It is concluded that, of the two phloroglucinol rings in sideroxylonal A, ring C is more important, and those compounds that stereo-chemically and electrostationally resemple the template molecule are more active.
