TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a new class of phosphine-catalyzed annulation reaction, in particular to a synthetic method of a polysubstituted butenolide compound. BACKGROUND
[0002] γ-Butenolides are the basic framework of many naturally occurring bioactive compounds. For example, protoanemonin with antibacterial properties, Bovelide as a flavoring agent, Xerulin and Xerulinic acid that inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, Aruncin B with antitumor effects, and thienyl butenolides with cytotoxicity (structures as follows). In addition, their potential as useful synthetic intermediates in the total synthesis of natural compounds has also been demonstrated. Therefore, in recent years, synthetic chemists have paid great attention to the development of synthetic strategies for this challenging scaffold.
[0003]
[0004] Five-membered ring esters are the basic skeleton of γ-butenolides and γ-butyrolactones, which are structural cores shared by numerous natural products. γ-Butenolides, γ-butyrolactones and their derivatives, especially in enantiomerically pure form, show an impressive range of biological activities that are important for the development of physiological and therapeutic drugs. For example, Strigol, which contains γ-butyrolactone in addition to chiral γ-butenolide, is believed to trigger the germination of parasitic plant seeds and inhibit the branching of plant shoots. Avenolide, a Streptomyces hormone containing a γ-butenolide core, has been shown to control the antibiotic production of Avenomycin (Chem. Rev. 2017, 117, 15, 10502-10566).
[0005]
[0006] Organophosphine-catalyzed reactions are a new type of organic catalytic reaction that can use simple raw materials (such as: allenes, unsaturated alkynes and unsaturated alkenes, etc.) to construct many structurally complex compounds. It uses the lone pair of electrons on the organic phosphine to attack the unsaturated alkenes, alkynes or allenes to generate active intermediates, which can further react with electrophilic reagents to generate the corresponding products and remove the catalyst organic phosphine. The reaction process does not require the use of metal catalysts, and the reaction conditions are simple and mild, and has been used for the synthesis of many drugs or active compounds.
