Semisynthetic derivatives of sesquiterpene lactones by palladium-catalyzed arylation of the alpha-methylene-gamma-lactone substructure
Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed arylation of different alpha-methylene-gamma-lactone-containing sesquiterpene lactones was shown to produce E-olefin coupling products selectively in moderate to excellent yields. Biological evaluation of these semisynthetic sesquiterpene lactone derivatives in HeLa cells showed interesting antiproliferative profiles and provided initial structure-activity data.
