Total synthesis of (±)-epi-stemodan-13α,17-diol

Org Biomol Chem. 2019 May 15;17(19):4711-4714. doi: 10.1039/c9ob00661c.

Abstract

Stemodan-13α,17-diol is a natural stemodane-type diterpenoid isolated from Stemodia chilensis. Herein we report the total synthesis of its epimer, stemodan-13β,17-diol, by applying titanium-mediated polyene cyclization and iron-catalyzed [5 + 2] cycloaddition as the key transformations to expeditiously install the molecular scaffold.
