  ABSTRACT: Two biotinylated derivatives of the fungal metabolite galiellalactone (1) were synthesized in order to facilitate the investigation of the molecular mechanism of action of the galiellalactonoids. Galiellalactone is a STAT3-signaling inhibitor that inhibits growth in vitro as well as in vivo of prostate cancer cells expressing activated STAT3. To provide a suitable point of attachment for biotin, the 8-hydroxymethyl derivative (3) and its 7-phenyl analogue 4 were synthesized by a modified tandem Pd-catalysed carbonylation and intramolecular vinyl allene Diels-Alder procedure previously developed. The two primary alcohols obtained, 3 and 4, were coupled to biotin as the 6-aminohexanoic acid amide, activated as the acid chloride, yielding the derivatives 5 and 6.
