Synthesis of 2 Rollicosin 11, isolated by Wu et al. from annonaceae plant, Rollina mucosa Baill, exhibited potent cytotoxicities against many human cancer lines. Recently, we have successfully synthesized the Squamstolide 22a, b based on a palladium catalyzed reaction. According to this discovery rollicosin was synthesized by the same coupling reaction of iodoacetylene 3 and terminal acetylene 4. All these efforts of the syntheses of rollicosin and its analog 26 are described herein. Scheme 3. Synthesis of 2 Figure 1. Structures of 1 and 2 Figure 2. Retrosynthetic analysis of 1 Scheme 1.
