摘要
4β-Azido-4-demethyl-4＇-O-demethyl-epipedophyllotoxin reacted with phenyliodonium diacetate in MeOH at room temperature to synthesize a novel pedophyllotoxin derivative containing a cyclohexadienone group with the original configurations of C2 and C4, which are required for the antitumor activities. The component and structure of the pro-duct were confirmed using elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectrum, ^1H and ^13C NMR spectra, and infrared spectrum. Furthermore, the fragmentation routes of the product were fully assigned with electron-impaet time-of-flight mass spectrometry（ EI-TOF MS）, which can also be used for the structural elucidation based on the molecular ion at m/z 455（16% ） and three novel characteristic fragment ions at m/z 183（37% ）, 425（7% ）, and 199（5% ）. The cyclohexadienone product is sensitive to acidic media. When it is treated with a trace of acid, another novel derivative containing an orthoquinone moiety is formed, which links with the metabolism of the cancer inhihitors.
