C-H-Functionalization logic guides the synthesis of a carbacyclopamine analog

Sebastian Rabe et al. Beilstein J Org Chem. .

Abstract

The chemical synthesis of carbacyclopamine analog 2, a cyclopamine analog with an all-carbon E-ring, is reported. The use of C-H-functionalization logic and further metal-catalyzed transformations allows for a concise entry to this new class of acid-stable cyclopamine analogs.

Keywords: C–H-functionalization; cyclopamine; hedgehog signaling pathway; natural products; steroidal alkaloids.
