摘要
Terpene based mimics of the anti-cancer agent (-)-englerin A have been designed and produced from (+)- and (-)-bornyl acetate and (+)-fenchol. A key remote CH2 oxidation reaction was developed using chromium(VI) oxide in acetic acid (115 degrees C) added in two portions to access keto-acetate intermediates in good yields (40-70%). Other known C-H activation conditions for this methylene oxidation were ineffective. Standard acylation steps installed the glycolate and cinnamate esters leading to the desired mimics. Preliminary cell testing with renal cancer cells show less potent activity compared to englerin A. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
