Chemical transformation of andrographolide
Pal, Mahesh,Singh, Meenakshi,Sharma
, p. 1915 - 1918 (2007/10/03)
Tosylation of andrographolide 1, with p-TsCl pyridine furnishes compounds 3 and 4. The reaction of 1 with in situ generated nickel boride yields compounds 6 and 8. Monotosylation of 6 followed by reaction with NaI refluxing in acetone furnishes the iodide 13. But all attempts to generate an oxetane moiety in 13 corresponding to compund 2 failed.
