Synthesis of (-)-ent-altholactone, (+)-7a-epi-altholactone, (-)-ent-isoaltholactone and (-)-7a-epi-Isoaltholactone from 2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-D-glyceraldehyde
A. Hiratate et al., Synthesis of (-)-ent-altholactone, (+)-7a-epi-altholactone, (-)-ent-isoaltholactone and (-)-7a-epi-Isoaltholactone from 2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-D-glyceraldehyde, J PESTIC S, 26(4), 2001, pp. 361-365
Synthesis of the diastereomers of (+)-altholactone, an antitumor acetogenin
from various Goniothalamus species, was achieved. Four isomers including 3
a,7a-trans-fused analogs were synthesized from 2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-D-glyc
eraldehyde via twice separation of diastereomers.
