Abstract

Sigillin A is a unique polychlorinated, insect repellent natural product, isolated recently from springtails. During the exploitation of an access to such compounds using a trichloromethyl-anion-induced epoxide opening as key step a new synthetic compound was found. A five-step cascade reaction leads to an oxeto[2,3,4-ij]isochromene compound, including a rare oxetane acetal as well as an trichloroenol ether group. Biological data on the antibacterial properties of this compound and sigillin A are reported as well.

Key words

sigillin - springtails - dichlorocarbene - chlorinated natural products - hydrobenzopyranone - dimethyldioxirane - oxetane acetal - trichloroenol ether

  • 7 Synthesis of 10 Abs. CHCl3 (0.478 g, 0.323 mL, 4.00 mmol) was added to abs. THF (15 mL), cooled to –98 °C and finally n-BuLi (2.50 mL, 1.6 M in hexane, 4.00 mmol) was added. After stirring for 15 min, a solution of epoxide 8 (24 mg, 0.08 mmol) in abs. THF (1 mL) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to –60 °C during 3 h. After hydrolysis with sat. aq NH4Cl, the phases were separated and the water phase was extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic phases were dried with MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica (pentane–Et2O, 10:1). The product was isolated as colorless crystals (13 mg, 0.024 mmol, 30%).
