Abstract
Two natural products with potential PDE5 inhibition activity, lorneic acids A and B, have been synthesized for the first time in high yield using a chiral amide stereocontrolled addition of aryl lithium to aldehyde as the key step, and the configuration of the chiral benzylic alcohol in lorneic acid B was determined to be S.
Key words
lorneic acid A/B - PDE5 inhibitor - asymmetric synthesis - chiral auxiliary - ortho-lithiation

References and Notes
A solution of 10 (0.13
g, 0.45 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was added to a stirred mixture of t-BuLi (0.65 mL, 1.03 mmol) and TMEDA
(0.15 mL, 0.99 mmol) in THF (2 mL) at -78 ˚C.
The mixture was warmed to 0 ˚C and stirred for 5 min, then
cooled to -78 ˚C again. To the mixture a solution
of hexanal (0.12 mL, 0.99 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added and stirred
at -78 ˚C for 30 min. Then the mixture was warmed to
r.t. and stirred overnight, quenched with sat. NH4Cl
and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine,
dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue
was purified by column chromatography to afford a mixture of 13a and 13b (0.13g,
76%). The mixture of 13a and 13b (0.13 g, 0.34 mmol) was dissolved in
MeCN (9 mL), then DMAP (12 mg, 0.10 mmol) and Boc2O (0.26
mL, 1.22 mmol) were added, stirred overnight at r.t. After concentration
the residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 14a (0.13 g, 80%) and 14b (28 mg, 17%). Compound 14a: [α]D

Synthesis of (-)-2: A solution of 25 (35.3 mg, 0.11 mmol) in t-BuOH (3 mL) containing concd HCl (0.3 mL) was stirred at 40 ˚C for 6 h. After cooling, the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The extract was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chroma-tography to afford (-)-2 as a colorless oil (27.7 mg, 91%); [α]D ²¹ -20 (c = 0.3, MeOH).

18It is noteworthy that slight concentration-dependent changes in the chemical shifts of the signals of the unsaturated carboxyl acid chain were observed in NMR spectra of 2, owing to variable aggregation extent via carboxyl group (see Supporting Information).
19Synthesis of 1: A solution of 28 (91 mg, 0.38 mmol) and KOH (0.31 g) in 30% EtOH-H2O (5 mL) was stirred for 8 h at 100 ˚C. After cooling to r.t., the mixture was acidified with 3 M HCl acid to pH 3, and was extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 1 (70 mg, 72%) as a pale yellow oil.
