Total synthesis of (-)-incarvilline, (+)-incarvine C, and (-)-incarvillateine

The first total syntheses of new monoterpene alkaloids (-)-incarvilline, (+)-incarvine C, and (-)-incarvillateine, corresponding to the natural enantiomers, have been accomplished. The strategy for the synthesis of these natural products utilized 6-epi-incarvilline as a common precursor, which was assembled by a three-component coupling reaction using (4S)-4-siloxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one to construct an appropriately trisubstituted cyclopentanone, followed by ring closure to the cis-perhydro-2-pyrindine skeleton by means of a reductive Heck-type reaction. Furthermore, topochemically controlled [2 + 2] photodimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives in the solid state for the stereospecific construction of a 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted cyclobutane ring was also investigated as a means to access (-)-incarvillateine.     

Total syntheses of beta-carboline alkaloids, (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K1, (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K2, and (R)-(-)-pyridindolol.

The total syntheses of beta-carboline alkaloids, (R)-(-)-pyridindolols (1, 5, and 6) are described. The two key steps involved are (1) a thermal electrocyclic reaction of the 3-alkenylindole-2-aldoxime 10 and (2) a thermal cyclization of 3-alkynylindole-2-aldoxime 11 to construct the beta-carboline N-oxides 8, which upon heating with acetic anhydride and sequential treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride gave the triflates 18. The Stille coupling reaction of 18 with vinylstannane, followed by cleavage of MOM ether, afforded the 1-ethenyl-3-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline (7a). Subsequent acetylation of 7a yielded the acetate 7b, which was subjected to the Sharpless asymmetric 1,2-dihydroxylation by AD-mix-beta to produce (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K2 (6). Selective acetylation of 6 was effected by Ac(2)O and collidine to form (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K1 (5). By contrast, hydrolysis of 6 provided (R)-(-)-pyridindolol (1).

Stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-ephedradine A (orantine)

The stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-ephedradine A has been accomplished. The synthesis features an asymmetric C-H insertion reaction, an intramolecular ester-amide exchange reaction, and a Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation reaction. Construction of the complex macrocyclic ring was performed by Ns-strategy and an intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction.     

Enantioselective total synthesis of (-)- and (+)-petrosin

The enantioselective total synthesis of (-)- and (+)-petrosin is described. The union of two key segments was executed by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. The quinolizidine rings were stereoselectively constructed via a diastereoselective Mannich reaction and an aza-Michael reaction. The 16-membered ring was constructed by ring-closing metathesis with the second-generation Grubbs catalyst.     

Total synthesis of (-)-stemoamide

A stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-stemoamide (1) is presented. The synthesis starts from commercially available (S)-pyroglutaminol (4). A chemoselective iodoboration of 5 was used to access key intermediate 3. The beta,gamma-unsaturated azepine derivative 2 was obtained via a Pd(0)-catalyzed sp(2)-sp(3) Negishi cross-coupling using a Reformatsky nucleophile followed by a ring-closing metathesis reaction. The required C8-C9 trans-stereochemistry of 1 was accessed through a stereoselective bromolactonization/1,4-reduction sequence.     

A second generation formal synthesis of (-)-cephalotaxine

A second generation formal synthesis of the alkaloid (-)-cephalotaxine has been achieved using an alkylidene carbene 1,5-CH insertion reaction to establish a key quaternary stereocenter. The carbene precursor was readily derived from L-proline, and the 1,5-CH insertion reaction was performed under Ohira's conditions using lithiotrimethylsilyldiazomethane (LTDM), which gave the desired spirocyclic product in 74% yield. The hydroxymethyl group was then oxidized and then decarbonylated (93%), and this material was easily transformed into the desired Friedel-Crafts cyclization precursor. Exposure of this material to SnCl4 then gave the desired pentacyclic product, which was identical to that previously prepared by Mori and thus represents a formal total synthesis of (-)-cephalotaxine.     

Total synthesis of (-)-heptemerone B and (-)-guanacastepene E

A concise, stereoselective, and convergent total synthesis of the unnatural enantiomer of the neodolastane diterpenoid heptemerone B has been completed. Saponification of (-)-heptemerone afforded (-)-guanacastepene E. The absolute stereochemistry of (-)-heptemerone B was thus established as 5-(S), the same as (-)-guanacastepene E. The longest linear sequence of the synthesis comprises 17 (18) steps from simple known starting materials. Our general synthetic approach integrates a diverse set of reactions, including an intramolecular Heck reaction to create one quaternary stereocenter and a cuprate conjugate addition for the establishment of the other. The central seven-membered ring was closed with an uncommon electrochemical oxidation, whereas the five-membered ring was formed through ring-closing metathesis. The absolute configuration of the two key building blocks was established through an asymmetric reduction and an asymmetric ene reaction.     

Total synthesis and structural elucidation of (-)-maurenone

[reaction: see text] The total synthesis of (2S,3S)-2,3-dihydro-6-[(1'S, 2'R)-2-hydroxy-1-methylbutyl]-3,5-dimethyl-2-[(1'S)-1-methylpropyl]-4H-pyran-4-one (3), the (-)enantiomer of the marine polypropionate, maurenone, was achieved in nine linear steps (13% overall yield) from (R)-2-benzylpentan-3-one ((R)-14) and (R)-2-benzoyloxypentan-3-one ((R)-15). Key fragments were synthesized using highly diastereoselective syn and anti boron aldol reactions and were coupled using a lithium-mediated aldol reaction. Trifluoroacetic acid-promoted cyclization/dehydration was then used to install the gamma-dihydropyrone ring. Eight isomers of one enantiomeric series were synthesized by coupling two ketones with each of four aldehydes. Comparison of the 13C NMR data for the eight isomers with that reported for maurenone established the relative stereochemistry of the natural product.

A highly enantioselective synthesis of the versatile chiral synthons possessing one stereogenic center, (S)- and (R)-4-aryl-5-hydroxy-(2E)-pentenoate (3) was achieved based on the enzymatic reaction of (+/-)-3 with commercially available lipases MY-30 or OF-360 from Candida rugosa. Application of (S)-3 and (R)-3 to the total syntheses of(S)-curcuphenol (1), (S)-curcudiol (2), and (R)-curcuphenol (1), respectively, is described.

Asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-callystatin A and (-)-20-epi-callystatin A employing chemical and biological methods

An efficient asymmetric total synthesis of the potent cytotoxic marine natural product (-)-callystatin A and its 20-epi analogue has been achieved. The synthetic pathway involved the preparation of three fragments to be coupled with each other at the end of the route. The first fragment 3 was obtained using a biocatalytic enantioselective reduction of a 3,5-dioxocarboxylate as the key step. For the second intermediate 4 the asymmetric alpha-alkylation of an O-protected derivative of 4-hydroxybutanal was performed exploiting the SAMP/RAMP hydrazone alkylation methodology, and followed by a highly Z-selective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction under modified conditions. For the synthesis of the polypropionate fragment 5 a diastereoselective syn-aldol reaction was employed between a chiral ethyl ketone and an alpha-substituted chiral aldehyde, both prepared in enantiopure form again by means of the asymmetric alkylation of their corresponding RAMP hydrazones. Finally, these three building blocks were coupled using highly E-selective Wittig reactions via allyltributylphosphonium ylides to afford the target compounds after a final oxidation/deprotection sequence.     

Total synthesis of (-)-8-O-methyltetrangomycin (MM 47755)

A stereoselective total synthesis of the natural antibiotic (-)-8-O-methyltetrangomycin 1 is reported. The essential steps for this convergent synthesis are the transformation of a geraniol epoxide into a chiral octadiyne derivative, which was converted into a triyne. The cobalt-mediated [2+2+2] cycloaddition of the triyne led to a benz[a]anthracene system, which was oxidized with Ag(Py)(2)MnO(4) to a benz[a]anthraquinone. Deprotection with aqueous HF in acetonitrile and photooxidation afforded the desired product (-)-1. [reaction: see text]     

Practical synthesis of methyl(E)-2-(3-(3-(2-(7-chloro-2- quinolinyl)ethenyl)phenyl)-3-oxopropyl)benzoate,a key intermediate of Montelukast

A novel and practical synthetic route is presented for the preparation of methyl-(E)-2-(3-(3-(2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl) phenyl)-3-oxopropyl)benzoate,the key intermediate of Montelukast,a leukotriene antagonist.The main diarylpropane framework was prepared via a polarity conversation reaction resulting in an acyl anion equivalent followed by a nucleophilic substitution reaction.The overall yield of this approach was 61%.This method is simple for operation and suitable for industrial production.     

Total synthesis of (-)-bafilomycin A(1)

A highly stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-bafilomycin A(1), the naturally occurring enantiomer of this potent vacuolar ATPase inhibitor, is described. The synthesis features the highly stereoselective aldol reaction of methyl ketone 8b and aldehyde 60c and a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of the highly functionalized advanced intermediates 12 and 39. Vinyl iodide 12 was synthesized by a 14-step sequence starting from the readily available beta-alkoxy aldehyde 14, while the vinylboronic acid component 39 was synthesized by a nine-step sequence from beta-hydroxy-alpha-methyl butyrate 44 via a sequence involving the alpha-methoxypropargylation of chiral aldehyde 49 with the alpha-methoxypropargylstannane reagent 54. Syntheses of fragments 12 and 39 also feature diastereoselective double asymmetric crotylboration reactions to set several of the critical stereocenters. The Suzuki cross-coupling of 12 and 39 provided seco ester 40, which following conversion to the seco acid underwent smooth macrolactonization to give 41. The success of the macrocyclization required that C(7)-OH be unprotected. The Mukaiyama aldol reaction between aldehyde 60c and the TMS enol ether generated from 8b provided aldol 65 with high diastereoselectivity. Finally, all silicon protecting groups were removed by treatment of the penultimate intermediate 65 with TAS-F (tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate), thereby completing the total synthesis of (-)-bafilomycin A(1).
