A
ntidiabetic medication has revolutionized the treatment of metabolic disorders derived from high blood sugar level. In
particular, the use of antidiabetics such as glucagon-like peptide (GLP) agonists, KATP channel inhibitors, AMP-activated
protein kinase (AMPK) signaling activators, α-glucosidase inhibitors, and PPAR-γ inhibitors, has received considerable
attention as potential medical agents because of their interesting pharmacological effects. Recently, natural antidiabetic
octaketide metabolites, cytosporones A and B, have been isolated by Clardy in 2000. Notably, cytosporone B has been
demonstrated to bind to the ligand-biding domain of nuclear orphan receptor 77 (Nur77) and stimulate the control of LKB1-
mediated AMPK activation. Additionally, unnatural TMPA (ethyl 2-[2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-(1-octanoyl) phenyl]acetate) was also
found to enhance AMPKα phosphorylation through reducing the NUR77−LKB1 interaction. Despite of the potent antidiabetic
activity and relatively simple structure of TMPA, the single synthetic strategy has been reported for the preparation of TMPA
derivatives. However, this strategy presents intrinsic drawbacks, namely, the multi-step synthesis (longest linear 7 steps) and
harsh reaction conditions including Friedel−Craft intramolecular acylation, OsO4-mediated dihydroxylation and Pinick
oxidation. We herein disclose the ketone-directed Ir(III)- and Rh(III)-catalyzed ortho-C−H alkylation of acetophenones
with Meldrum’s diazo esters. As results, this protocol may be beneficial to guide the design a variety of antidiabetic TMPA
derivatives, and represents a catalytic alternative to transcend the barriers imposed by previous multi-step synthetic approach.
