Three sesquiterpenes of the zizaane family, khusimone (1), epizizanoic acid (3), and zizanoic acid (2) have been synthesized in optically active form from the ammonium salt of (−)-l-10-camphorsulfonic acid in sixteen, nineteen, and twenty steps respectively.

The Absolute

(−)-Chenopodanol (2) has been isolated from the liverwort Marchantiachenopoda and its structure determined by spectroscopic techniques as well as by total synthesis. Chenopodene (1) has also been synthesized in an optically active form, resulting in revision of the originally assigned absolute configuration. Keywords: chenopodanol, chenopodene, liverwort, Marchantiachenopoda, sesquiterpene.

Potential Use

Phenserine, the phenylcarbamate analogue of physostigmine , is a drug candidate of potential use for treating Alzheimer's disease. Phenserine inhibits acetylcholinesterase selectively, improves memory dramatically in experimental animals without toxicity, and reduces the production of β-amyloid precursor protein, the source of the Alzheimer's toxin β-amyloid. Phenserine was made from physostigmine in two steps, and it can be prepared in the required optically active form by total synthesis. For this purpose, the oxindole route developed by Julian in his total synthesis of physostigmine was vastly improved. Details of this work performed at the National Institutes of Health and at Institutions sponsored by this agency are presented herein.

Lycopodium Alkaloid

The total synthesis of the first Lycopodium alkaloid annotinine in the optically active form is described. The key step in this synthesis was the photochemical addition of allene to the tricyclic vinylogous imide (3) which yielded the photoadduct (6).
