RESUMO
Structurally simplified analogues of ansellone A, in which the decalin skeleton is replaced with a lipophilic chain, were prepared and their HIV latency-reversing activities biologically evaluated. In particular, two analogues bearing ether and alkenyl side chains, respectively, showed comparable activities to that of ansellone A. Each of the simplified compounds was easily synthesized using Prins cyclisation chemistry.

The first total synthesis of marine sesterterpenoid ansellone G (2) was accomplished. This strategy utilizes the Prins cyclization reaction of a chloro-substituted homoallyl alcohol to synthesize the hydrobenzopyran skeleton. The preintroduction of the chloro groups facilitated the functional group transformation for 2 after constructing the carbon framework. Furthermore, we also successfully synthesized phorbadione (3) by dehydrating the tertiary alcohol. The HIV latency-reversing activity of the synthesized 2, 3, and deacetylated 2 was also evaluated.

The total synthesis and biological evaluation of the marine sesterterpenoid ansellone A (1), an HIV latency-reversing agent, and its analogues are reported. The key to the success of this synthetic route is a Prins cyclization reaction enabled by the strategic use of the TfO group for stabilization of the acid-labile tertiary allylic alcohol. The SAR study found the alcohol analogue to exhibit more potent activity than 1.

Aromatic methoxymethyl (MOM) ethers behave differently from aliphatic MOM ethers upon treatment with trialkylsilyl triflate (R3SiOTf) and 2,2'-bipyridyl. The aromatic MOM ethers are first converted to silyl ethers and subsequently deprotected by hydrolysis to give the mother alcohols when the R3SiOTf used is trimethylsilyl triflate (TMSOTf). Conversely, direct conversion of aromatic MOM ethers to aromatic triethylsilyl (TES) ethers is possible when the R3SiOTf used is triethylsilyl triflate (TESOTf).
