KeywordsHalenaquinone / (-)-Wieland-Miescher ketone / Intramolecular [2+2]photocyclization / 3環性フラン / (R)-(-)-Wieland-Miescherケトン / アセチレン化合物 / 2+2光環化反応 / 3環式フラン
Research Abstract

According to the synthetic strategy for Halenaquinone (1), Halenaquinol (2) and Xestoquinone (3), (-)-Wieland-Miescher ketone (4) was transformed to acetylenic , -unsaturated ketone (5) by 14 steps. Tricyclic cyclobutene ketone (6) was prepared by intramolecular [2+2]photocycloaddition of (5). Ozonolysis of (6) followed by treatment with acid and ethylene glycol afforded the chiral key synthetic intermediate (7). Unfortunately hydrogenolysis of (7) led to a complex mixture of products from which desired alcohol (8) could be isolated in only ca. 25% yield. Next p-methoxybenzyl group was employed for the protection of hydroxyl group. According to the above mentioned general synthetic route, acetylenic <alpha>, <beta>-unsaturated ketone (9) was converted to tricyclic furan ring compound (10) by same procedures. Conversion of (10) into halenaguinone (1) is now under investigation.
