Abstract
In nature, there are an abundance of molecules with medicinal properties which are contained in plants. While obtaining these molecules by extraction is feasible on a small scale, industrial scale production would prove challenging. Through retrosynthetic analysis, a series of synthetic steps can be determined by envisioning a target molecule of interest and proceeding to break it down into starting materials that are readily available and cost effective. In studying existing medicinal molecules, it has been found that heterocyclic structures play an important role in the medicinal efficacy of a molecule. Synthesis of a novel molecule incorporating an oxygen containing heterocycle, 3-Oxyangeloyl-tremetone, has been proposed through a 5-step synthetic pathway via retrosynthetic analysis. Current work is focused on completing the third step in the synthetic pathway, which is a Sonogashira coupling reaction between 4-acetyl-2-bromoanisole and trimethylsilyl acetylene.
