Abstract:
Dactylicapnosines A and B, two natural products from Dactylicapnos scandens, exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities both in vitro and in vivo. In this paper, we report our second-generation synthesis of dactylicapnosine A and the first total synthesis of dactylicapnosine B. Our synthetic route features acid-induced isomerization of o-quinone (16), Co-mediated regioselective ring contraction of p-quinone (8b), and oxidative methoxylation of enone (18). This modified sequence provides dactylicapnosine A in 14 steps with an overall yield of 12% from a known compound (14a) and also offers opportunities to synthesize dactylicapnosine-like analogues for biological investigations.
