Collective Syntheses of Icetexane Natural Products Based on Biogenetic Hypotheses
A divergent synthesis of 10 icetexane natural products based on a proposed biogenetic cationic ring expansion of a reduced carnosic acid derivative is described. Of these icetexanes, (+)-salvicanol, (-)-cyclocoulterone, (-)-coulterone, (-)-obtusinone D, and (-)-obtusinone E have been synthesized for the first time. In addition, the hypothesis for the non-enzymatic biogenesis of benzo[1,3]dioxole natural products has been experimentally investigated. Additional experimental evidence for the abiotic formation of the methylenedioxy unit is provided, as photolysis of the quinone (+)-komaroviquinone resulted in the formation of the [1,3]dioxole-containing natural product (-)-cyclocoulterone and (+)-komarovispirone.
