Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient construction of the lactone bridge of strongylophorine-2, which is a meroditerpenoid isolated from Strongylophora durissima and an inhibitor for HIF-1 transcriptional pathway. Starting from dehydroepiandrosterone acetate, the characteristic lactone has been constructed in 5.4% over 18 steps by employing, (1) modified oxy radical-mediated C–H functionalization at the C24 methyl group, and (2) four-step manipulation of C4 quaternary carbon stereogenic center. The lactone synthesized here is expected as a precursor for (8-desmethyl)strongylophorine-2 which is of particular interest in terms of structure–activity relationships in the inhibition of HIF-1 transcriptional pathway.
