摘要
A photochemical approach to the cytotoxic lactone (+)-goniofufurone (1) is reported. Paterno-Buchi [2 + 2] photo-cycloaddition from known enol ether 4, derived from the readily available sugar D-isosorbide, yielded oxetane 7. This slow, dilute reaction was scaled up by using flow photochemistry to yield >40 g of 7. Installation of the key lactone ring was achieved via a unique Wacker style oxidation of an enol ether-bond. Acid-catalyzed aqueous ring opening provided 1 in five steps from 4 (11.5% overall).
