Prevalence and Biosynthesis:

The Bioactivity...- Both groups possess activity that could treat: cancer, ulcers, inflammation, fungal infections, malaria, and leishmaniasis - Possess endoperoxides with similar antimalarial activity to artemesinin- Thapsigargin, a xantholide, currently undergoing phase I clinical trials for breast, kidney, and prostate cancer. Englerin A is a highly selective inhibitor of renal cancer cell growth.

The Nature of the Beast:• Sesquiterpenes represent the largest class of terpenes, and guaianolides comprise of the the largest and most widely distributed groups of sesquiterpenoid lactones (JACS (1984) 8217)• Over 500 guaianes isolated by 1990 (100's more since then), dozens of dimeric guaianes (even trimers observed) • 112 xanthanes/xanthanolides, only 11 non-lactonized xanthanes and 3 known dimeric xanthanes• Synthetic challenges include: medium ring synthesis, dense stereochemical complexity on a relatively flexible skeleton, difficult levels of oxidation, NPs possess epimerizable centers and reactive moieties

Wise words from Clayton Heathcock (circa 1973):

Source: The Total Synthesis of Natural Products, Volume 2, pages 199 and 395

"the sesquiterpene field is an excellent area for the testing and refining of new synthetic methods and concepts"

"one may confidently design stereoselective syntheses in the decalin area, in which the relative stereochemistry is established by either kinetic or thermodynamic methods.

Stereoselective design in the hydroazulene area is much more difficult"

fun fact: the 1st sesquiterpene total synthesis was Ruzicka's farnesol in 1923

Photochemistry and Santonin: Synthesis of Podoandin: Blay et al. JOC (2000) 6703.

Many earlier syntheses begin with a photochemical rearrangement of Santonin based on work by Barton and co-workers (J. Chem. Soc. (1957) 929)For the true seminal work on photochemistry of santonin see: Villavecchia, Atti R. Accad. Lincei (1885) 722, Cannizzaro, et. al. ibid, (1886) 450
