Toward the synthesis of cobyric acid. Enantioselective syntheses of completely differentiated ring D synthons.

ABSTRACT: Alkyne acids 11 were prepared in an enantioselective fashion from allylic ester derivatives 18 or 20 by Ireland-Claisen rearrangement, followed by Si-assisted elimination of HBr. The title compounds are attractive ring D synthons for an ongoing synthesis of cobyric acid.

Toward the Total Synthesis of Alpkinidine: Michael Addition to Isoquinolinetrione CE Ring-System Synthons.

Project description:Strategies toward the total synthesis of the marine pyrroloacridine alkaloid alpkinidine have been explored, focusing on linking quinonoid CE ring-system synthons with the A ring, followed by condensation to form the B and D rings. The key Michael addition of the ester enolate derived from ethyl o-nitrophenylacetate to 2-methylisoquinoline-1,5,8(2H)-trione proceeded with the wrong regiochemistry. This issue was addressed by incorporating the D-ring nitrogen at an earlier stage, affording advanced intermediates possessing the complete carbon skeleton of alpkinidine. However, attempts to close the D and B rings were unsuccessful. The novel isoquinolinetriones reported here, and the general strategy of connecting CE- and A-ring synthons through Michael additions, may be useful in the synthesis of other pyrrolo- and pyridoacridines, in particular the anticancer lead neoamphimedine and analogues.

Toward the Total Synthesis of Alpkinidine: Synthesis of Haloquinone CE Ring System Synthons and Attempted Nucleophilic Bisannulation.

Project description:Model chemistry involving the bisannulation of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with the ester enolate derived from ethyl o-nitrophenylacetic acid, which rapid assembled the ABCD ring system of a pentacyclic pyrroloacridine, has been applied to the attempted synthesis of the marine natural product alpkinidine. The reaction of ethyl o-nitrophenylacetic acid with 6,7-dichloro-2-methylisoquinoline-1,5,8(2H)-trione, required to extend the model strategy to alpkinidine, was unfruitful, giving only complex mixtures. Efforts to direct the regiochemistry of the key Michael substitution step using 6-bromo-2-methylisoquinoline-1,5,8(2H)-trione afforded an adduct sharing the complete carbon skeleton of alpkinidine, but this could not be elaborated to the natural product.

Engineered C-N Lyase: Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Synthons for Artificial Dipeptide Sweeteners.

Project description:Aspartic acid derivatives with branched N-alkyl or N-arylalkyl substituents are valuable precursors to artificial dipeptide sweeteners such as neotame and advantame. The development of a biocatalyst to synthesize these compounds in a single asymmetric step is an as yet unmet challenge. Reported here is an enantioselective biocatalytic synthesis of various difficult N-substituted aspartic acids, including N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-l-aspartic acid and N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-l-aspartic acid, precursors to neotame and advantame, respectively, using an engineered variant of ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS) lyase from Chelativorans sp. BNC1. This engineered C-N lyase (mutant D290M/Y320M) displayed a remarkable 1140-fold increase in activity for the selective hydroamination of fumarate compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. These results present new opportunities to develop practical multienzymatic processes for the more sustainable and step-economic synthesis of an important class of food additives.

Amino acid-derived enaminones: a study in ring formation providing valuable asymmetric synthons.

Project description:A new reaction for the preparation of enaminones has been discovered. This method employs beta-amino acids as starting materials to allow diversification as well as incorporation of chirality. The beta-amino acids, once converted to ynones, are readily cyclized to the desired six-membered enaminone via a two-step, one-pot protocol. Although disguised as a 6-endo-dig cyclization, the reagents employed in the transformation play a direct role in bond making and bond breaking, thus changing the mode of addition.

Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-isolysergol via ring-closing metathesis.

Project description:The first enantioselective synthesis of (+)-isolysergol was completed in 12 steps from commercially available materials by a novel approach that features a late stage microwave-mediated, diastereomeric ring-closing metathesis catalyzed by a chiral molybdenum catalyst to simultaneously form the D ring and set the stereocenter at C(8).

Enantioselective organocatalytic syntheses of α-selenated α- and β-amino acid derivatives.

Project description:Selenium-containing amino acids are valuable targets but methods for the stereoselective α-selenation of simple amino acid precursors are rare. We herein report the enantioselective electrophilic α-selenation of azlactones (masked α-amino acid derivatives) and isoxazolidin-5-ones (masked β-amino acids) using Cinchona alkaloids as easily accessible organocatalysts. A variety of differently substituted derivatives was accessed with reasonable levels of enantioselectivities and further studies concerning the stability and suitability of these compounds for further manipulations have been carried out as well.

Lewis Base-Bronsted Acid-Enzyme Catalysis in Enantioselective Multistep One-Pot Syntheses.

Project description:Establishing one-pot, multi-step protocols combining different types of catalysts is one important goal for increasing efficiency in modern organic synthesis. In particular, the high potential of biocatalysts still needs to be harvested. Based on an in-depth mechanistic investigation of a new organocatalytic protocol employing two catalysts {1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO); benzoic acid (BzOH)}, a sequence was established providing starting materials for enzymatic refinement (ene reductase; alcohol dehydrogenase): A gram-scale access to a variety of enantiopure key building blocks for natural product syntheses was enabled utilizing up to six catalytic steps within the same reaction vessel.

Synergistic formal ring contraction for the enantioselective synthesis of spiropyrazolones.

Project description:The rapid generation of molecular complexity from simple reactants is a key challenge in organic synthesis. Spiro compounds, underrepresented 3D motifs in chemical libraries, represent a challenge due to the creation of spiro quaternary carbon and the need to control the 3D shape in one step. Herein, we report the first ring contraction/formal [6 + 2] cycloaddition using synergistic Pd(0)/secondary amine catalysis, obtaining [5,5]-spiropyrazolone derivatives in excellent yields and stereoselectivities. We demonstrate that this reaction has a broad scope of early and late stage derivatization that will benefit the creation of highly valuable chemical libraries using spiropyrazolone motifs. We detected the key palladium activated intermediate in its protonated form by mass spectrometry and characterized its structure by infrared spectroscopy and DFT calculations, allowing us to propose a conceivable mechanistic pathway for this reaction.

Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-lithospermic acid.

Project description:An enantioselective synthesis of (+)-lithospermic acid, a potent anti-HIV agent, has been accomplished in a convergent manner in nine steps. The synthesis features an enantioselective intramolecular oxa-Michael addition catalyzed by a quinidine derivative, a hypervalent iodine-mediated rearrangement of chromanone to dihydrobenzofuran, an enantioselective α-oxyamination, and an intermolecular C-H olefination.

Ethylene in organic synthesis. Repetitive hydrovinylation of alkenes for highly enantioselective syntheses of pseudopterosins.

Project description:In this report we highlight the significant potential of ethylene as a reagent for the introduction of a vinyl group with excellent stereoselectivity at three different stages in the synthesis of a broad class of natural products, best exemplified by syntheses of pseudopterosins. The late-stage applications of the asymmetric hydrovinylation reaction further illustrate the compatibility of the catalyst with complex functional groups. We also show that, depending on the choice of the catalyst, it is possible to either enhance or even completely reverse the inherent diastereoselectivity in the reactions of advanced chiral intermediates. This should enable the synthesis of diastereomeric analogs of several classes of medicinally relevant compounds that are not readily accessible by the existing methods, which depend on 'substrate control' for the installation of many of the chiral centers, especially in molecules of this class.
