Asymmetric synthesis of ent-fragransin C1

Abstract

The first asymmetric synthesis of ent-fragransin C1 was reported. The key step involves an intramolecular C–O bond formation (furan ring formation) via chemoselective generation of the benzylic carbocation leading to the 2,3-anti-3,4-syn-4,5-anti-tetrahydrofuran moiety as a single diastereomer in good yield. Our synthesis confirms that ent-fragransin C1 possesses 2R,3R,4S,5S configurations.
4-[(2R,3R,4S,5S)-5-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3,4- dimethyltetrahydrofuran-2-yl]-2,6-dimethoxyphenol (ent-1). A flame-dried.......................... in vacuo, the crude product was purified by column chromatography (60% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford ent-1 as a sticky brownish oil (15.3 mg, 99% yield) as a single diastereomer (400 MHz 1 H NMR analysis).
