dcterms.abstract | Gukulenin A, a tetraterpene, contains a unique bis-tropolone moiety, and exhibits potent cytotoxicity against various cell lines (human pharynx cancer FaDu, colon cancer HCT-116, renal cancer SN12C, stomach cancer MKN45). Developing a straightforward and concise synthesis of gukulenin A from easily available starting materials is meaningful for synthetic chemistry as well as drug discovery. In our research, we proposed that gukulenin A could be assembled via the four types of dimerization from three different substrates. In this project, we focused on the synthesis of 4-methyltropolone as the substrate for oxidative coupling, and (Z)-1-oxo-1-phenylpenta-2,4-dien-2-yl acetate as the model for a new Michael addition approach. At this point, we have obtained 4-methyltropolone with one of its isomers, and we have successfully made (Z)-1-oxo-1-phenylpenta-2,4-dien-2-yl acetate and tested the Michael-type dimerization under basic condition. | |
