Abstract
Nature synthesizes epimeric C1 guaianolide congeners, key components of major natural product classes, through a single structurally flexible macrocyclic germacranolide core. Our rationally designed elemanolide-type scaffold (5) now mimics this natural process, enabling the stereodivergent synthesis of both C1 epimers of 6,12-guaianolide lactone motifs. An oxy-Cope/ene cascade acts as the key step of this process, generating two distinct conformers of an intermediate germacranolide, each leading to a specific C1 epimer. Highly stereoselective redox manipulations follow, culminating in the efficient syntheses of diverse osmitopsin-type guaianolides.
期刊介绍：
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
