First total syntheses of the phytotoxins solanapyrones D and E via the domino Michael protocol.
The phytotoxins solanapyrones D (1) and E (2) have been synthesized from the decalone prepared by the domino Michael reaction of the kinetic enolate of optically pure acetylcyclohexene with methyl crotonate. The decalone was transformed into a solanapyrone core by equilibration into thermodynamically stable trans-decalone (11), dehydroxylation, and dehydration. Condensation of a methyl acetoacetate equivalent followed by cyclization installed a pyrone moiety. Introduction of a formyl or hydroxymethyl unit into the pyrone ring via Pummerer related reactions furnished solanapyrones D (1) and E (2).
