Abstract:
The convergent synthesis of C35-fluorinated analogues of solamin, a mono-THF Annonaceous acetogenin, has been achieved by the Sonogashira coupling of the THF ring fragment and the fluorinated γ-lactone fragment. It was revealed that the number of fluorine atoms on the γ-lactone moiety affects the growth inhibitory activities against human cancer cell lines.
