Abstract:

3-Oxo-11,12,13-trihydroxyeudesm-4-ene(1) was a highly oxygenated natural eudesmane isolated from traditional herbal medicine with an antiphlogostic and spasmolytic activity. For the purpose of pharmacological activity research on natural product 1 and its derivatives, a facile total synthesis of compound 1 starting from (+)-dihydrocarvone(2) was completed in an overall yield of 24%. The structures of all intermediates and product 1 were confirmed via 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and IR techniques. The NMR data of compound 1 are in agreement with those of natural products.

Key words: Eudesmane, 3-Oxo-11,12,13-trihydroxyeudesm-4-ene, Total synthesis, Sesquiterpene
