  • STUDIES RELATED to the SYNTHESIS of a Thesis Presented
    STUDIES RELATED TO THE SYNTHESIS OF TETRACYCLINE a thesis presented by NORMAN JAMES ALBERT GUTTERIDGE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chemistry Department, Imperial College, LONDON June, 1966. To Jo ABSTRACT A review of some important reactions of tetracycline are presented. An account of the attempts to synthesise tetracycline follows with a summary of the progress contributed by workers in these laboratories. The new contribution to this work commences with a study of the reduction of the 9-oxo function in 2-phenyl- 3-cyano-3-tetrahydropyranyloxy-9-oxo-2a18,8a-trihydro- naphthacene[4,4a$5,bc]furan (A). 0 (A) An attempted conversion of 2-phenyl-3,8a-(N-phenyl- isoxazolidine)-9-oxo-2a1 3,8,8a-tetrahydronaphthaceno[4,4a,- 5,b0]-furan (B) into 2-phenyl-3/9-dioxo-2a0,8a-trihydro- naphthaceno[4,4a,5,bc]furan (C) is then described together with a re-examination of previous work on these derivatives. (B) (C) To assist studies in this series of compounds, 1-N- phenylamino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene was synthesised. A preparation of 2-phenyl-4-(31 15'-diacetoxy-21- ethylene-acetal-4'-carbomethoxybenzy1)-5-oxo-naphtho- [4,10,5,bc]furan (D), a suitable precursor for the recently described photocyclisation process, is described in detail. (D) 0 — C Ph Finally, studies in the 2 -phenyl -4,6 -dihydroxy-5 -carbo - methoxy -3,8a -(N -phanylisoxazolidine)-9 -oxo -2a,3,8,8a - tetrahydronaphthaceno[4,4a,5,bc]furan series (E) were commenced.
