Abstract:
A facile synthetic approach for total synthesis of tanshinone I has been accomplished. The key precursor is a novel compound, epoxy phenanthraquinone. And this synthesis of tanshinone I is achieved in only three simple stages, which include Diels-Alder reaction, Δ(2)-Weitz-Scheffer-type epoxidation, and Feist-Bénary reaction from commercially available styrene.
