Biosynthesis of Hyperforin:Biosynthesis of the hyperforin skeleton in Hypericum calycinum cell cultures
Biosynthesis of Hyperforin:Hypothetical mechanism of hyperforin biosynthesis
Authors Who Have Worked on Synthesis of Phloroglucins Hyperforin: Kraus, Nicolaou, Young, Metha (enantioselective), … Garsubellin A: Stoltz, Nicolaou, Shibasaki, Grossman, …
Studies toward HyperforinWhat are the strategies? • Kraus: Allylation followed by Mn-mediated oxidative cyclization • Nicolaou: annulation of the gem-dimethyl-containing ring onto an existing cyclohexanone • Young: Intramolecular allene-nitrile oxide cycloaddition
Synthesis and Studies toward Garsubellin AWhat are the strategies? • Shibasaki: C-C bond forming addition-elimination and aldol reactions • Nicolaou: « Biomimetic » selenocyclization of a cyclic B-keto ester onto a pendant prenyl group • Stoltz: Tandem Claisen-Dieckmann reaction of malonyl dichloride
