Abstract

The title compound, hetisan-6,11beta,15beta-triol, C20H27NO3, is a hetisane-type diterpenoid alkaloid. It consists of six six-membered rings and two five-membered rings. The fused-ring system contains three chair, two boat, one distorted boat and two envelope conformations. Intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are present between the O atoms, with O...O separations of 3.006 (3) and 2.743 (3) A, as well as an O...N intermolecular interaction of 2.887 (3) A.

Macrocycles from perhalogenated heterocycles.

Perhalogenated heteroaromatic systems, such as trichloro-s-triazine and pentafluoropyridine, are multifunctional "building blocks" that react with a number of appropriate difunctional nucleophiles to provide access to a variety of macrocyclic and even cage-like molecular architectures. Unusual structural and complexation characteristics of the systems reported so far, such as the recognition of anions, provide a further stimulus for the development of this area.

A delicate balance of energetics. Subtleties associated with alpha-ketol-based bridge migration to afford 9-keto-10beta-p-methoxybenzyloxytaxanes.

The feasibility of the title reaction has been pursued for the purpose of advancing a concise total synthesis of Taxol. Of the two closely related series examined, the first featured an exo-methylene group at C4. The second consisted of an alpha-epoxide at that site. Strikingly, the olefinic construct proved inert to attempted alpha-ketol rearrangement. In contrast, the oxiranyl derivative isomerized smoothly. The reaction sequence associated with arrival at taxane 18 is short (15 steps from a D-camphor derivative) and notably efficient. The thermodynamic issues that are raised by this investigation have been clarified by an assessment of molecular mechanics-derived (MM3) steric energy calculations.

Chemical modification of a highly functionalized taxane. The consequences of an absent bridgehead double bond on oxetane D-ring construction.

An oxetane D-ring has been fused to the framework of the highly functionalized taxane 2. The synthetic route is based on a trimethylsilyl triflate-promoted epoxide-opening step, followed by stereocontrolled, regioreversed oxirane formation and reductive transposition of this intermediate with bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride. This last key step provides for the convenient implementation of additional hydroxyl groups ultimately conducive to intramolecular S(N)2 reaction. Tangential features of the route outlined herein include specific rearrangement reactions and a retro-aldol cleavage of ring A.
