SYNTHESIS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF METALLACYCLES. 45. CROSS-CYCLOMAGNESIATION OF 1,2-DIENES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF 5Z, 9Z-DIENOIC ACIDS, EFFICIENT INHIBITORS OF HUMAN TOPOISOMERASE I
Publication date: 2015
Abstract:
An original method for the synthesis of natural and synthetic 5Z,9Z-dienoic acids with high selectivity (>98%) and ~50% yields was elaborated. The method is based on a new Cp2TiCl2catalyzed cross-cyclomagnesiation reaction of terminal aliphatic and O-containing 1,2-dienes using Grignard reagents. The synthesized acids exhibited in vitro high inhibiting activity against human topoisomerase I.
