title: Structures, biological activities, and total syntheses of 13-hydroxy- and 13-acetoxy-14-nordehydrocacalohastine, novel modified furanoeremophilane-type sesquiterpenes from Trichilia cuneata.
abstract: [reaction: see text] 13-Hydroxy-14-nordehydrocacalohastine (2) and 13-acetoxy-14-nordehydrocacalohastine (3), two novel modified furanoeremophilane-type sesquiterpenes isolated from Trichilia cuneata, showed inhibitory activities for membrane lipid peroxidation in mitochondria and microsomes. The first, highly convergent total syntheses of new compounds 2 and 3 have also been achieved via a palladium-mediated three-component coupling reaction between 2-iodotoluene (7), 1-penten-4-yn-3-ol (8), and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (9).
