Biomimetic synthesis of the tetracyclic core of berkelic acid.

ABSTRACT: Acid-catalyzed condensation of 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid 3 with ketal aldehyde 14 in methanol at 25 degrees C, followed by CH2N2 esterification, gave a 4:1:4:1 mixture of diastereomers 15b-18b in 60% yield. Equilibration of this mixture with TFA in CDCl3 provided tetracycle 15b (83% yield) with the complete skeleton of berkelic acid. A similar condensation at 0 degrees C afforded 15b-18b and a reduction product 19b, which was probably formed by a 1,5-hydride shift.

Synthesis of (-)-berkelic acid.

Project description:An extremophilic challenge: Stereospecific condensation of a fully functionalized ketal aldehyde and a 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid is the key step in the synthesis of (-)-berkelic acid confirming Fürstner's reassignment of the stereochemistry at C18 and C19, establishing the absolute stereochemistry, and tentatively assigning the stereochemistry at C22.

A diastereoselective formal synthesis of berkelic acid.

Project description:A formal synthesis of berkelic acid is reported. The strategy employs the combination of a chiral exocyclic enol ether and an achiral isochromanone to afford the chroman spiroketal core via a base-triggered generation and cycloaddition of an o-quinone methide intermediate. Other key steps include equilibration of the spiroketal, intramolecular benzylic oxidation, and lactone addition/hemiketal reduction; all occur with good diastereoselectivity.

Synthesis of the tetracyclic core of exiguaquinol.

Project description:A Diels-Alder reaction, a desymmetrizing aldol reaction, and a reductive Heck cyclization are employed in a short synthesis of a tetracycle relevant to exiguaquinol, a potential antibiotic. Ground-state energies of this advanced model system and the natural product rationalize the incorrect hemiaminal configuration experimentally obtained and point to the importance of the sulfonate in dictating the relative configuration of the natural product.

Biomimetic approach to the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of tetracyclic isochroman.

Project description:Polyketide oligomers containing the structure of tetracyclic isochroman comprise a large class of natural products with diverse activity. However, a general and stereoselective method towards the rapid construction of this structure remains challenging due to the inherent instability and complex stereochemistry of polyketide. By mimicking the biosynthetic pathway of this structurally diverse set of natural products, we herein develop an asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of in-situ generated isochromene and ortho-quinonemethide. A broad range of tetracyclic isochroman frameworks are prepared in good yields and excellent stereoinduction (up to 95% ee) from readily available α-propargyl benzyl alcohols and 2-(hydroxylmethyl) phenols under mild conditions. This direct enantioselective cascade reaction is achieved by a Au(I)/chiral Sc(III) bimetallic catalytic system. Experimental studies indicate that the key hetero-Diels-Alder reaction involves a stepwise pathway, and the steric hindrance between in-situ generated isochromene and t-Bu group of Sc(III)/N,N'-dioxide complex is responsible for the enantioselectivity in the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction step.

A biosynthetically inspired synthesis of (-)-berkelic acid and analogs.

Project description:We describe a complete account of our total synthesis and biological evaluation of (-)-berkelic acid and analogs. We delineate a synthetic strategy inspired by a potentially biomimetic union between the natural products spicifernin and pulvilloric acid. After defining optimal parameters, we executed a one-pot silver-mediated in situ dehydration of an isochroman lactol to methyl pulvillorate, the cycloisomerization of a spicifernin-like alkynol to the corresponding exocyclic enol ether, and a subsequent cycloaddition to deliver the tetracyclic core of berkelic acid. Our studies confirm that the original assigned berkelic acid structure is not stable and equilibrates into a mixture of 4 diastereomers, fully characterized by X-ray crystallography. In addition to berkelic acid, C22-epi-berkelic acid, and nor-berkelic acids, we synthesized C26-oxoberkelic acid analogs that were evaluated against human cancer cell lines. In contrast to data reported for natural berkelic acid, our synthetic material and analogs were found to be devoid of activity.

A concise synthesis of berkelic acid inspired by combining the natural products spicifernin and pulvilloric acid.

Project description:We describe a concise synthesis of the structurally novel fungal extremophile metabolite berkelic acid, an effort leading to an unambiguous assignment of C22 stereochemistry. Our synthetic approach was inspired by the recognition that berkelic acid displays structural characteristics reminiscent of two other fungal metabolites, spicifernin and pulvilloric acid. Based on this notion, we executed a synthesis that features a Ag-catalyzed cascade dearomatization-cycloisomerization-cycloaddition sequence to couple two natural product inspired fragments. Notably, a spicifernin-like synthon was prepared with defined C22 stereochemistry in seven steps and three purifications (24-28% overall yield). A potentially useful anti-selective conjugate propargylation reaction was developed to introduce the vicinal stereodiad. An enantioconvergent synthesis of the other coupling partner, the aromatic precursor to pulvilloric acid methyl ester, was achieved in eight steps and 48% overall yield. The total synthesis of berkelic acid and its C22 epimer was thus completed in a 10 step linear sequence and 11-27% overall yield.
