ABSTRACT: The first synthesis of (+)-19-acetoxystemodan-12-ol (1), a stemodane diterpenoid isolated from Stemodia chilensis, is described. The structure was supported by an X-ray crystallographic analysis of intermediate (+)-9a, which confirmed the proposed structure and excluded the structure of (−)-19-hydroxystemod-12-ene as a possible candidate for the Chilean Calceolaria diterpenoid to which the (−)-19-hydroxystemar-13-ene structure (9b) had been erroneously assigned.

n 1991, Garbarino and co-workers described the isolation of a new stemodane diterpenoid, (+)-19-acetoxystemodan-12ol (1), from Stemodia chilensis.1 The structure of this diterpenoid was established on the basis of its 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data and on their similarity with those of co-occurring (+)-2-deoxystemodinone (2). The absolute configuration of (+)-1 was considered reasonable because of its co-occurrence with (+)-2. No chemical correlation or X-ray structure determination was performed on (+)-1. Following the work on bicyclo[3.2.1]octane diterpenoids,2 we considered it interesting to confirm the structure of (+)-1. The interest in unambiguously clarifying the structure of Chilean tetracyclic diterpenoids is also shared by other scientists, as indicated in a recent publication.3

The starting material, (+)-podocarpic acid (3), was converted into the known (+)-12-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octan2-one (4) as previously described.2i The secondary C-12 hydroxy group in (+)-4 is properly oriented for rearrangement to the stemodane system (Scheme 1).2a,b Nevertheless, prior to rearrangement, two synthetic operations were necessary: (a) removal of the C-15 carbonyl group, which would prevent the rearrangement to the stemodane system by inhibiting the formation of a positive charge on the adjacent bridgehead carbon, and (b) conversion of the 12-OH into a better leaving group. The latter synthetic operation would imply the selective protection of the 19-OH group. Compound (+)-4 was therefore converted into the corresponding dithioacetal (+)-5 using ethanedithiol and BF3· Et2O at 0 °C. The latter was chemoselectively acetylated at rt with AcCl in the presence of lutidine4 to afford the 19-acetoxy derivative (+)-6. The Raney-Ni reduction of (+)-6 in absolute EtOH under reflux afforded (−)-7, which was treated with MsCl in pyridine to afford (+)-19-acetoxystemod-12-ene 9a via 8. Compound (+)-9a was fully characterized through 1H NMR, 13 C NMR, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, DEPT 135, and NOESY experiments, and its relative configuration was unambiguously Received: September 17, 2015

Obtaining intermediate (+)-9a also offered the opportunity of ascertaining the alternative hypothesis of Garbarino and coworkers (stemodane vs stemarane)6a regarding the structure of a diterpenoid isolated from Chilean Calceolaria whose proposed structure of (−)-19-hydroxystemar-13-ene (9b) was not confirmed by synthesis.2i A comparison of the NMR data of (+)-9a with those reported for the acetyl derivative of a diterpenoid isolated from Chilean Calceolaria showed many differences (Table 1). According to these results, even the structure of (−)-19B



Note

In conclusion, the first synthesis of (+)-19-acetoxystemodan12-ol (1), a stemodane diterpenoid isolated from S. chilensis, was achieved and the structure was confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic analysis of intermediate (+)-9a. This work also demonstrated that the structure of (−)-19-hydroxystemod-12ene could be excluded as a possible candidate for the Chilean Calceolaria diterpenoid to which the structure of (−)-19hydroxystemar-13-ene had been erroneously assigned.2i,6 Further structural work on this unknown Chilean Calceolaria diterpenoid is therefore still necessary.

hydroxy-12-stemod-12-ene cannot be attributed to the diterpenoid isolated from the Chilean Calceolaria species, and thus, further structural work appears to be necessary. Compound (+)-9a dissolved in CH2Cl2 was reacted at rt with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) to diastereoselectively afford the epoxide (+)-10. As previously described by Kelly and co-workers,7 the epoxidation of the stemod-12-ene system proceeds from the less hindered α face. The reduction of the latter with LiAlH4 afforded the diol 11.8 Acetylation with AcCl at rt in the presence of lutidine4 afforded target compound (+)-1.8 Comparison of the NMR data of (+)-1 with those reported for the diterpenoid isolated from S. chilensis showed (Table 2) good overall matching signals, thus suggesting the identity of the two compounds. The stemodane absolute configuration of (+)-1 follows from its derivation from (+)-podocarpic acid, whereas the positive specific rotation follows from the work of Garbarino and co-workers.

Preparation of (+)-10 from (+)-9a. To a solution of (+)-9a (7.7 mg, 0.023 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was added mchloroperbenzoic acid (16 mg, 0.092 mmol). After stirring for 1 h at rt, TLC monitoring (Et2O/n-hexane, 2:8) revealed the complete disappearance of the starting material. After cooling to 0 °C using

an ice bath, the reaction mixture was basified with a Na2CO3-saturated solution and poured into a separatory funnel; the two phases were separated, and the organic phase was washed with a Na2CO3-saturated solution until no peroxides were present. The combined organic phases were then washed with brine, dried, filtered, and evaporated to afford (+)-10. The crude material was purified by SiO2 CC (Et2O/nhexane, 5:95) to afford, after crystallization from n-hexane, (+)-10 (7.1 mg, 0.021 mmol, 89%): mp 99.4−101.2 °C; [α]20D = +19 (c 0.13, CHCl3); IR (CHCl3) 1730; 1H NMR (CDCl3) 4.28 (1H, A of AB, J = 10.9 Hz, H-19), 3.89 (1H, B of ABX, JAB = 10.9, JBX = 1.2 Hz, H-19), 2.82 (1H, d, J = 4.1 Hz, H-12), 2.18−2.10 (2H, m, H-11, H-14), 2.03 (3H, s, CH3CO), 1.85−1.64 (6H, m, H-1, H-3, H-7, H-8, H-15, H16), 1.55−1.48 (2H, m, H-6, H-16), 1.46−1.02 (8H, m, H-1, 2 × H-2, H-5, H-6, H-7, H-11, H-15), 1.27 (3H, s, 3 × H-17), 1.00−0.89 (1H, m, H-3), 0.95 (3H, s, 3 × H-18), 0.90 (3H, s, 3 × H-20); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 171.6 (C, CO), 67.5 (CH2, C-19), 63.3 (C, C-13), 58.1 (CH, C-12), 49.4 (C, C-9), 48.4 (CH, C-5), 42.3 (CH, C-8), 38.5 (C, C-10), 38.0 (CH, C-14), 37.2 (C, C-4), 36.8 (CH2, C-15), 36.3 (CH2, C-3), 35.7 (CH2, C-1 or C-7), 35.2 (CH2, C-1 or C-7), 33.7 (CH2, C11), 28.1 (CH3, C-18), 27.1 (CH2, C-16), 22.2 (CH2, C-6), 21.2 (CH3CO), 19.9 (CH3, C-17), 18.5 (CH2, C-2), 18.3 (CH3, C-20). Preparation of 11 from (+)-10. To a solution of (+)-10 (6.9 mg, 0.020 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2 mL) was added LiAlH4 (1.0 mg, 0.026 mmol). After stirring for 4 h at 60 °C, TLC monitoring (Et2O/ n-hexane, 7:3) revealed the complete disappearance of the starting material. After quenching with wet Et2O, the mixture was poured into a separatory funnel, and the two phases were separated; the organic phase was washed with H2O and brine, dried, filtered, and evaporated to afford 11. The crude material was purified by SiO2 CC (Et2O/nhexane gradient from 15:85 to 35:65) to afford 11 (2.4 mg, 0.0080 mmol, 40%).
