摘要

Selective methods for the synthesis of C(2)-monoallyl and C(2)-diallyl derivatives of lupane terpenoids were developed. The methods involve reactions of allyl halides with potassium enolates or potassium enoxy(triethyl)borates generated in situ from 3-oxolupanes (betulonic acid, 3-oxo betulin) under the action of KN(SiMe(3))(2), KH, or Bu(t)OK with subsequent addition of Et(3)B. The use of the reagent KN(SiMe(3))(2)-Et(3)B in 1,2-dimethoxyethane ensured the kinetically controlled generation of enolate anions, which yielded 2 beta-propenyl lupane terpenoids with high stereoselectivity. Reactions of 3-oxolupanes with excesses of Bu(t)OK and allyl halide (2.5 equiv.) gave 2,2-bisallylation products. In vitro studies revealed that one of the latter efficiently suppresses the NO production by activated macrophages and has an antitumor effect on Ehrlich carcinoma and P-815 mastocytoma cell lines.
