Juglanaloids A and B are recently isolated natural products characterized by an unprecedented spiro bicyclic isobenzofuranone-tetrahydrobenzazepinone framework and a promising antiamyloid activity.

Abstract

Juglanaloids A and B are recently isolated natural products characterized by an unprecedented spiro bicyclic isobenzofuranone-tetrahydrobenzazepinone framework and a promising antiamyloid activity. Here reported is a straightforward convergent total synthesis of these natural products, which were obtained in high enantiomeric purity (94% and >99% ee for juglanaloids A and B, respectively) through an eight-step longest linear sequence, based on an efficient and reliable enantioselective phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation step. Considering the interesting biological activity of juglanaloids, this convenient, highly enantioselective, flexible, and predictable synthetic strategy promises to be a powerful tool for accessing potentially bioactive spiro bicyclic phthalide-tetrahydrobenzazepinone derivatives.
