Abstract

Iridoids, which are a class of monoterpenoids, are attractive synthetic targets due to their diversely substituted cis-fused cyclopenta[c]pyran skeletons. Additionally, various biological activities of iridoids raise the value of synthetic studies on this class of compounds. Here, our synthetic efforts toward 11-noriridoids; (±)-umbellatolide B (6), (±)-10-O-benzoylglobularigenin (9) and 1-O-pentenylaucubigenin (34) are described. For the efficient synthesis of target compounds, common synthetic intermediates (tricyclic enones 17 and 26) were prepared by the Pauson–Khand reaction. The cleavage of the acetal bond on the tricyclic enones and 1,2-reduction introduced the two hydroxy groups on the cyclopentane ring of the core scaffold. Furthermore, the C3–C4 olefin part was constructed by the syn-elimination of a thiocarbonate moiety to obtain 34. The developed synthetic routes for 6, 9, and 34 will be useful for the preparation of iridoid analogs that have a polyfunctionalized core skeleton.
