The first total synthesis of (1 R ,2 S ,3 S ,4 R ,4a S ,11b S )-2-(benzyloxy)-1,2,3,4,4a,5-hexahydro-1,3,4-trihydroxy-11b H -benzo[ b ]carbazole-6,11-dione from D -glucose is described. The key steps of this synthesis are the stereoselective Michael addition of 2-lithium-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene to 3- O -benzyl-5,6-dideoxy-1,2- O -isopropylidene-6-nitro-α- D - xilo hex-5-enefuranose followed by the enantioselective intramolecular Henry reaction of 3- O -benzyl-5,6-dideoxy-5- C -(1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene-2-yl)-6-nitro-β- l -idofuranose to the key (1 R ,2 S ,3 S ,4 R ,5 S ,6 S )-3-(benzyloxy)-5-(1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene-2-yl)-1,2,4-trihydroxy-6-nitrocyclohexane. |
