Abstract
Total synthesis of periconianone A, an eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid with impressive neural anti-inflammatory potential, has been accomplished. Diels–Alder/aldol strategy to construct tetrahydro-naphthalene-2,6-dione scaffold, allylic oxidation of dienone using DBU/O 2 and postulated biomimetic aldol reaction to construct 6/6/6 tricyclic system are the highlights of the present synthesis. Furthermore, the synthesized (±)-periconianone A and two close analogs were tested for their neural anti-inflammatory activity using various assays. In the course of our study we found a structurally simplified analog is superior to (±)-periconianone A.
