摘要

Both enantiomers of the synthetic cannabinoid nabilone (4) have been synthesized from a common intermediate, enone 7. Enone 7 was prepared by reaction of [2, 6-dimethoxy-4-(l, l- dimethylheptyl) phenyl] lithium with (+)-apoverbenone (2), followed by PDC oxidation. Li/NH3 reduction of 7 gave saturated ketone 9, which, after ether cleavage to 10, afforded (6aS, lOaR)-hexahydrodibenzopyran 15 on reaction with SnC14 Isomerization to 6aR, ...
