Abstract

A new iridoid glucoside with an ether linkage between C-3 and C-10 and a novel nonglycosidic iridoid with an ether linkage between C-3 and C-6 and a lactonic linkage at C-1, named macrophylloside (1) and macrophyllide (2), respectively, were isolated from the leaves of Rothmannia macrophylla, along with six known iridoids. Their structures were established by NMR and MS spectroscopies.

Electrophile-induced ether transfer: a new approach to polyketide structural units.

[Structure: see text] A strategically novel approach to the formation of syn-1,3-diol mono- and diethers through electrophilic activation of homoallylic alkoxymethyl ethers has been developed. The resulting polyketide-like synthetic fragments are generated in good yield and with excellent stereocontrol. A chairlike transition state is proposed to account for the high stereoselectivity. Varying the conditions of the reaction workup results in the efficient generation of mono- and diether containing structural units common to polyketide natural products.

1-naphthylpropargyl ether group: a readily cleaved and sterically minimal protecting system for stereoselective glycosylation.

[reaction: see text] The (1-naphthyl)propargyl group is introduced as a sterically unobtrusive alcohol protecting group that is cleaved in a single step by exposure to dichlorodicyanoquinone in wet dichloromethane. In conjunction with the 4,6-O-benzylidene protecting group, and the use of the sulfoxide glycosylation method, 3-O-naphthylpropargyl-protected mannosyl donors are extremely beta-selective.

[1,2]- or [2,3]-rearrangement of onium ylides of allyl and benzyl ethers and sulfides via in situ-generated iodonium ylides.

Iodonium ylides, generated in situ with bisacetoxyiodobenzene, are converted to allyl- or benzyl-substituted oxonium or sulfonium ylides via rhodium- or copper-catalyzed carbene transfer. Except for the S-benzyl example, the resulting ylides undergo rearrangement to the corresponding 2-substituted heterocycles. This demonstrates the first use of iodonium ylides as diazoketone surrogates for the generation and rearrangement of onium ylide intermediates. This abbreviated one-step method proceeds in comparable yields relative to the corresponding two-step route employing diazoketone intermediates.
