摘要
A unified protecting group-free approach to two stemarene and two betaerene diterpenoids through a bioinspired two-phase strategy has been developed,and three of them were obtained for the first time via chemical synthesis.Starting from a common intermediate,two distinct tetracyclic frameworks containing diastereoisomeric bridged bicycles were constructed by a divergent ring reorganization strategy.Late-stage C–H functionalization through a xanthylation-oxygenation protocol furnished the corresponding oxygenated stereocenters or oxo functionality in high regio-and diastereoselective fashion within a complex hydrocarbon system.The stereochemical puzzles in(–)-2-acetoxybetaer13(17)-ene and(+)-7-acetoxybetaer-13(17)-ene were first predicted by the comparison of density functional theory(DFT)-nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)data with the reported data and then unambiguously addressed through the total syntheses of natural products and three diastereomers.
