Total Synthesis of Propolisbenzofuran B
Chem Sci, 2014 May 1;5(5):1794-1798
The first total synthesis of propolisbenzofuran B, a
bioactive natural product isolated from honeybee propolis resin, is reported.
The convergent synthesis makes use of a silicon-tether controlled oxidative
ketone-ketone cross-coupling and a novel benzofuran-generating cascade reaction
to deliver the core structure of the natural product from readily prepared
precursors…
Propolisbenzofuran B is a natural product found in Brazilian
propolis, first isolated in 2000 by Banskota and co-workers. Initial biological
testing determined that the compound had a cytotoxic effect on murine colon
26-L5 carcinoma and human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells…
