Popis: The total synthesis of (−)-cabenegrin A-I [(−)- 1 ] in five steps was achieved from (−)-6a R ,11a R -maackiain [(−)- 5 ], which in turn was prepared by the optical resolution of racemic (±)- 5 using S -(−)- α -methylbenzyl isocyanate as the the chiral auxiliary. The homochirality of (−)-maackiain [(−)- 5 ] and (−)-cabenegrin A-I [(−)- 1 ] was proved by CD measurements. Synthesis of (±)-maackiain [(±)- 5 ] is also presented, starting from the readily available phenol derivatives resorcinol and sesamol, which demonstrates the synthetic utility of the Heck-type oxyarylation process for obtaining pterocarpane derivatives on a multigram scale. A new ring-opening reaction of pterocarpanes (7 → 28) is described.
