참여 물질

반응 단계

Dihydroartemisinic aldehyde was synthesized from the isolated dihydroartemisinic acid. The acid was converted to methyl dihydroartemisinate with excess diazomethane in diethyl ether at 0° C. for 5 minutes. The ether and diazomethane were removed under a stream of nitrogen and the methyl ester was reduced to (11R)-dihydroartemisinic alcohol with excess 1.5 M diisobutyl aluminum hydride in toluene at room temperature for 10 min under nitrogen. With subsequent extraction, oxidation to the aldehyde with pyridinium chlorochromate (Corey & Suggs 1975) and purification by HPLC the (11R)-dihydroartemisinic aldehyde was produced at an overall yield of 48% with >99% purity according to GC analysis.
