Abstract
A model reaction for studying the mechanism of the biological conversion of the iridoid loganin (1) to the secoiridoid secologanin (2) is the reductive, radical-induced cyclization of secologanin tetraacetate (4) to loganin tetraacetate. Treatment of 4 with Mg and Me3SiCl in THF at room temperature gives a mixture of the four possible C-6 and C-7 epimers of loganin tetraacetate in which the natural stereochemistry predominates. This result ...
