Enantiospecific formal total synthesis of (+)-dihydrokawain-5-ol

Abstract

Formal total synthesis of dihydrokawain-5-ol is accomplished starting from tartaric acid. Key reactions include Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination, sodium borohydride mediated stereoselective reduction, orthogonal protection and deprotection of alcohols and ring closing metathesis.     

Synthesis of (+)-(R)-Tiruchanduramine

The absolute stereochemistry of the marine alkaloid (+)-(R)-tiruchanduramine was established via a convergent total synthesis in six steps and 15.5% overall yield from Fmoc-D-Dab(Boc)-OH.     

Entry into 6-Methoxy-D(+)-tryptophans. Stereospecific Synthesis of 1-Benzenesulfonyl-6-methoxy-D(+)-tryptophan Ethyl Ester

A strategy for the synthesis of optically active ring-A methoxylated indole alkaloids which employs the Moody azide/Schollkopf chiral auxiliary protocol has resulted in the successful preparation of 1-benzenesulfonyl-6-methoxy-D(+)-tryptophan ethyl ester 16. This amino ester is required for the synthesis of Alstonia bisindole alkaloids including macralstonine 2 via an enantiospecific Pictet-Spengler reaction.     

Synthesis of (-)-(S)-3-sec-butyl- and (+)-(S)-5-sec-butyl-2(1H)-pyridinone

Optically active (+)-(S)-5-sec-butyl- and (-)-(S)-3-sec-butyl-2(1H)-pyridinone are synthesized and the relationship between optical activity and minimum optical purity of the latter is determined.     

Synthesis of (+)-(R)-5-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-8-methylflavanone

The synthesis of (+)-(R)-5-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-8-methylflavanone is described. A new chromylation method of β-ketosulfoxide 9 leading to the Michael acceptor 12 has been developed. Dilithium tetrachlorocuprate was shown to be a very efficient catalyst for the conjugate addition reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide to the α,β-unsaturated sulfoxide 12. The instability of the obtained adducts 10 represents a limitation in terms of yield. It was confirmed that the natural flavanone leridol does not possess the structure of title compound 1.     

Total Synthesis of (-)- and (+)-Balanol(1)

Two total syntheses of the potent protein kinase C inhibitory fungal metabolite balanol are described. In the first approach, the core aminohydroxyazepane subunit was prepared in racemic form by stereospecific functionalization of N-benzyl-epsilon-caprolactam. Resolution prior to coupling to the benzophenone subunit provided access to both enantiomers of balanol. In the second approach, an efficient silicon-mediated cyclization of (2S,3R)-3-hydroxylysine followed by reduction provided the azepane subunit in enantiomerically pure form. The sterically congested benzophenone subunit was assembled from two highly substituted aromatic precursors by way of an anionic homo-Fries rearrangement.     

Enantiospecific synthesis of (-)-trachyspic acid

The enantiospecific synthesis of (-)-trachyspic acid () is presented. This has allowed for the assignment of the absolute configuration of natural (+)-trachyspic acid as 3S,4S,6S.     

Enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-hernandulcin

The sesquiterpene (+)-hernandulcin has been enantiospecifically synthesized starting from (−)-neoisopulegol in seven steps and in 25% overall yield.     

Synthesis of (+)-DGDP and (-)-7-epialexine

The partial reduction of electron deficient pyrroles is an extremely versatile method that allows us to prepare substituted pyrrolidines and pyrrolizidines with trans-diol stereochemistry on the five membered ring.     

Enantiospecific total synthesis of (-)-4-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane

Enantiospecific synthesis of the natural enantiomer of the marine sesquiterpene (-)-4-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane (6) is described. The bicyclo[2.2.2]octanecarboxylate 14, obtained from (R)-carvone via Michael-Michael reaction, was transformed into neopupukeananedione 12 by employing rhodium acetate catalyzed intramolecular C-H insertion of the diazo ketones 16 or 19 as the key reaction. Regioselective deoxygenation of the C-2 ketone transformed the dione 12 into neopupukean-4-one 10. Alternately, the keto ester 18 was also transformed into neopupukean-4-one 10 via regioselective deoxygenation of the ketone in 18 followed by intramolecular rhodium carbenoid C-H insertion of the diazo ketone 31. Finally, neopupukean-4-one 10 was transformed into (-)-4-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane 6 via the alcohol 32 and the mesylate 33.     

Enantiospecific total synthesis of 15-hydroxy-5-(methoxymethoxy)crinipellin-9-one

Enantiospecific total synthesis of the crinipellin mentioned in the title was accomplished. In the present synthesis cyclopentane ring in campholenaldehyde was identified as the B-ring, two intramolecular rhodium carbenoid CH insertion reactions were employed for the construction of the A and C rings, and an intramolecular Michael addition reaction was utilized for the construction of the D-ring of crinipellin.

Synthesis and structural characterization of enantiopure (2R,5R)-(+)-2,5-dimethylthiolane

Enantiopure (2R,5R)-(+)-2,5-dimethylthiolane was synthesized by cyclization with sodium sulfide of the dimesylate of (2S,5S)-(+)-2,5-hexanediol, which was obtained by baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) reduction of acetonyl acetone in high enantiomeric purity. The structure of the diol and absolute stereochemistry of the sulfone derived from the title molecule were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.     

Synthesis of (±)- and (+)-perovskone

A biomimetic synthesis of the triterpene (±)-perovskone was achieved featuring a remarkable polycyclization process in which three rings, four bonds, and five stereocenters were created in a single operation in 82% yield. This convergent synthesis required 16 steps, starting from vanillin, and proceeded in 9% overall yield. A second route to prepare optically active quinone 2 took 15 steps in 36% overall yield and featured a palladium-catalyzed reductive allylic transposition to establish the C-5 chirality stereospecifically. Quinone (−)-2 was converted to (+)-perovskone (1) via a polycyclization cascade, which created four rings, five bonds, and six stereocenters in a single operation in 50% yield.     

Synthesis and determination of maximum rotatory power of (+)-(S)-5-s-butyl-2(1H)-pyridinone
