Intramolecular Alkynylogous Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction Starting from Bicyclic Alkanones Tethered to Alkynyl Esters: Formal Total Synthesis of (±)‐Hamigeran B

Selecting the ring : tert‐Butyldimethylsilyltriflate (TBSOTf)/NEt₃ treatment of alkynyl esters tethered to bicycloalkanones leads to the formation of tricyclic allenoates with total diasteroselectivity at the ring junction. An intramolecular alkynylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction promoted by a TBSOTf/NEt₃ dual activation is involved. This novel methodology was illustrated by a formal total synthesis of (±)‐hamigeran B.

The Diels–Alder Reaction in Total Synthesis

The Diels–Alder reaction has both enabled and shaped the art and science of total synthesis over the last few decades to an extent which, arguably, has yet to be eclipsed by any other transformation in the current synthetic repertoire. With myriad applications of this magnificent pericyclic reaction, often as a crucial element in elegant and programmed cascade sequences facilitating complex molecule construction, the Diels–Alder cycloaddition has afforded numerous and unparalleled solutions to a diverse range of synthetic puzzles provided by nature in the form of natural products. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Alder's birth, selected examples of the awesome power of the reaction he helped to discover are discussed in this review in the context of total synthesis to illustrate its overall versatility and underscore its vast potential which has yet to be fully realized.     

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Vincadifformine Enabled by a Thiourea-Phosphonium Salt Catalyzed Mannich-Type Reaction

An asymmetric total synthesis of vincadifformine is described. The limited tactics with chiral cation-directed catalysis in total synthesis inspired the development of our strategy for accessing this alkaloid in enantionrich form. The route features a thiourea–phosphonium salt catalyzed Mannich-type reaction, a phosphine-promoted aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction and a trifluoroacetic acid promoted deprotection/amidation cascade process.     

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Pinnaic Acid and Halichlorine

The enantioselective total synthesis of the bioactive marine natural products pinnaic acid and halichlorine is reported in detail. Our total synthesis features the construction of the five‐membered ring and C9 and C13 stereogenic centers through a palladium‐catalyzed trimethylenemethane [3+2] cyclization; the installation of the nitrogen atom through a regioselective Beckmann rearrangement of a poorly reactive ketone; the stereoselective cyclization of the spiro ring through a four‐step, one‐pot hydrogenation–cyclization; and efficient connection of the sterically hindered lower chain through a reduced‐pressure cross olefin metathesis reaction.     

Total Synthesis of Farnesin through an Excited‐State Nazarov Reaction

The asymmetric total synthesis of farnesin, a rearranged ent‐kaurenoid, was achieved through a convergent approach involving photo‐Nazarov and intramolecular aldol cyclizations to build the syn‐syn‐syn hydrofluorenol ABC ring system and bicyclo[3.2.1]octane CD ring system in the first application of a UV‐light‐induced excited‐state Nazarov cyclization of a non‐aromatic dicyclic divinyl ketone in a total synthesis. Unlike the conventional acid‐promoted ground‐state Nazarov reaction, the excited‐state Nazarov reaction enables stereospecific formation of the highly strained syn‐syn‐syn‐fused hydrofluorenone scaffold through a disrotatory cyclization.     

Total Synthesis of Gelsedilam by Means of a Thiol‐Mediated Diastereoselective Conjugate Addition–Aldol Reaction

The total synthesis of gelsedilam, which features a highly diastereoselective thiol conjugate addition–intramolecular aldol reaction to install the strained and caged [3.2.2] bridged ring system and highly efficient NiCl₂/NaBH₄‐mediated four‐step transformation in one‐pot to construct its five‐membered lactam ring is reported. The synthesis requires only 18 linear steps from the known compounds, providing useful strategies for the construction of the intricate ring system in the synthesis of related gelsedine‐type alkaloids.

An asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-7-epi-tarchonanthuslactone was achieved from commercially available methyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate. The key step employed a diastereoselective chelation-controlled Mukaiyama aldol reaction to construct the chiral hydroxyl group at the C-5 position.

A Rapid Synthesis of 4‐Oxazolidinones: Total Synthesis of Synoxazolidinones A and B

A five‐step total synthesis of the marine natural product synoxazolidinone A was achieved through a diastereoselective imine acylation/cyclization cascade. Synoxazolidinone B and a series of analogues were also prepared to explore the potential of these 4‐oxazolidinone natural products as antimicrobial agents. These studies confirmed the importance of the chlorine substituent for antimicrobial activity and revealed simplified dichloro derivatives that are equally potent against several bacterial strains.     

An Ugi Reaction in the Total Synthesis of (−)‐Dysibetaine

(?)‐Dysibetaine has been synthesized in 11 steps from readily available L ‐malic acid (see scheme). The key step is a unique Ugi 4‐center‐3‐component cyclization reaction, where an ester group acts as the carboxylic acid component. The use of 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexamethyldisilazane as an ammonia equivalent and a specially designed isocyanide leads to an expeditious synthesis.

     

Total Synthesis of a Glycoglycerolipid from Meiothermus taiwanensis through a One‐Pot Glycosylation Reaction and Exploration of its Immunological Properties

The total synthesis of a glycoglycerolipid isolate of Meiothermus taiwanensis and its truncated structural analogues is reported. Our synthesis employed DMF‐modulated and low‐concentration glycosylation reactions for the construction of α‐ and β‐glycosidic bonds in the absence of participating protecting groups. Further simplification of the synthesis was achieved by employing a low‐concentration one‐pot glycosylation procedure. Preliminary immunological studies showed that one of the truncated structural analogues suppressed the cytokine production of THP‐1 monocytes.
