Abstract

An efficient and enantioselective synthesis of a deca­hydrofluorene nucleus, the tricyclic core (ABC-ring system) of GKK1032s, novel antimicrobial and anti-tumor agents, was achieved using a highly diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-­Alder (IMDA) reaction. The substrate for the IMDA reaction was synthesized through intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of ­Kitahara-Danishefsky’s diene and an enone derived from enulose to construct the functionalized C-ring. CuCl-promoted Stille coupling of a vinyl iodide and a vinylstannane installed the requisite triene side chain.

Key words

Diels-Alder reaction - Stille coupling - natural product synthesis - GKK1032s - antimicrobial agents - anti-tumor agents
