Total synthesis of (+)-psymberin (irciniastatin A): catalytic reagent control as the strategic cornerstone.

ABSTRACT: An effective total synthesis of the marine sponge cytotoxin (+)-psymberin [irciniastatin A (1)] has been achieved. Highlights of the strategy include a Diels-Alder reaction between a bis-siloxy diene and an allene to construct the aromatic ring, a boron-mediated aldol reaction to elaborate the C(15-17) all syn stereotriad, catalytic reagent control to set the C(8, 9, 11 and 13) stereogenic centers of the tetrahydropyran core, and a late-stage Curtius rearrangement to install the sensitive N,O-aminal moiety. The synthesis proceeds with a longest linear sequence of 21 steps from commercially available 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol.

Total synthesis of irciniastatin A (Psymberin).

Project description:The total synthesis of (+)-iriciniastatin A (psymberin) is reported in 19 steps and 6% overall yield. Key reactions include a highly convergent enolsilane-oxocarbenium ion union to generate the C8-C25 fragment and a late-stage coupling of a hemiaminal and acid chloride to complete the synthesis.

Total synthesis of (+)-irciniastatin A (a.k.a. psymberin) and (-)-irciniastatin B.

Project description:A unified synthetic strategy to access (+)-irciniastatin A (a.k.a. psymberin) and (-)-irciniastatin B, two cytotoxic secondary metabolites, has been achieved. Highlights of the convergent strategy comprise a boron-mediated aldol union to set the C(15)-C(17) syn-syn triad, reagent control to set the four stereocenters of the tetrahydropyran core, and a late-stage Curtius rearrangement to install the acid-sensitive stereogenic N,O-aminal. Having achieved the total synthesis of (+)-irciniastatin A, we devised an improved synthetic route to the tetrahydropyran core (13 steps) compared to the first-generation synthesis (22 steps). Construction of the structurally similar (-)-irciniastatin B was then achieved via modification of a late-stage (-)-irciniastatin A intermediate to implement a chemoselective deprotection/oxidation sequence to access the requisite oxidation state at C(11) of the tetrahydropyran core. Of particular significance, the unified strategy will permit late-stage diversification for analogue development, designed to explore the biological role of substitution at the C(11) position of these highly potent tumor cell growth inhibitory molecules.

Progress toward the total synthesis of psymberin/irciniastatin A.

Project description:In this paper, we describe our synthesis of four key building blocks for the total synthesis of psymberin (1) and its C4 epimer (2). Despite early difficulties in processing material to the advanced intermediate stage, we have been successful in developing high-yielding syntheses for the pyran core, natural side chain, 4-epi side chain, and aryl fragments of the molecule. Our findings from the optimization process are presented herein.

The catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of elatol.

Project description:Described in this report is the first total synthesis of elatol, a halogenated sesquiterpene in the chamigrene natural product family. The key disconnections in our synthetic approach include an enantioselective decarboxylative allylation to form the all-carbon quaternary stereocenter and a ring-closing olefin metathesis to concomitantly form the spirocyclic core as well as the fully substituted chlorinated olefin. This strategy represents a general platform for accessing the chamigrene natural product family, as demonstrated by the synthesis of (+)-laurencenone B as an intermediate in our route.

Catalytic enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-eucomic acid.

Project description:A catalytic enantioselective synthesis of (+)-eucomic acid is reported. A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation is employed to access the chiral tetrasubstituted ?-hydroxyacid moiety found in the natural product. The protecting group strategy was investigated, and a protecting group manipulation was made without any appreciable deleterious effects in the allylic alkylation reaction. Non-natural (+)-eucomic acid is synthesized in a longest linear sequence of 13 steps.

A Catalytic Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (-)-Perophoramidine.

Project description:We report a catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of the ascidian natural product perophoramidine. The synthesis employs a molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of an oxindole nucleophile and a monosubstituted allylic electrophile as a key asymmetric step. The enantioenriched oxindole product from this transformation contains vicinal quaternary and tertiary stereocenters, and is obtained in high yield along with high levels of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. To install the second quaternary stereocenter in the target, the route utilizes a novel regio- and diastereoselective allylation of a cyclic imino ether to deliver an allylated imino ether product in near quantitative yield and with complete regio- and diastereocontrol. Oxidative cleavage and reductive amination are used as final steps to access the natural product.

Catalytic Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (-)-Actinophyllic Acid.

Project description:Described herein is a catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-actinophyllic acid, with the key step being a chiral phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation between an imine and an allenoate to form a pyrroline intermediate in 99% yield and 94% ee. The synthesis also features CuI-catalyzed coupling between a ketoester and a 2-iodoindole to shape the tetrahydroazocine ring; intramolecular alkylative lactonization; SmI2-mediated intramolecular pinacol coupling between ketone and lactone subunits to assemble the complex skeleton of (-)-actinophyllic acid; and an unprecedented regioselective dehydroxylation.

Total syntheses of (-)-kopsifoline D and (-)-deoxoapodine: divergent total synthesis via late-stage key strategic bond formation.

Project description:Divergent total syntheses of (-)-kopsifoline D and (-)-deoxoapodine are detailed from a common pentacyclic intermediate 15, enlisting the late-stage formation of two different key strategic bonds (C21-C3 and C21-O-C6) unique to their hexacyclic ring systems that are complementary to its prior use in the total syntheses of kopsinine (C21-C2 bond formation) and (+)-fendleridine (C21-O-C19 bond formation). The combined efforts represent the total syntheses of members of four classes of natural products from a common intermediate functionalized for late-stage formation of four different key strategic bonds uniquely embedded in each natural product core structure. Key to the first reported total synthesis of a kopsifoline that is detailed herein was the development of a transannular enamide alkylation for late-stage formation of the C21-C3 bond with direct introduction of the reactive indolenine C2 oxidation state from a penultimate C21 functionalized Aspidosperma-like pentacyclic intermediate. Central to the assemblage of the underlying Apidosperma skeleton is a powerful intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole that provided the functionalized pentacyclic ring system 15 in a single step in which the C3 methyl ester found in the natural products served as a key 1,3,4-oxadiazole substituent, activating it for participation in the initiating Diels-Alder reaction and stabilizing the intermediate 1,3-dipole.

Catalytic SN2'- and Enantioselective Allylic Substitution with a Diborylmethane Reagent and Application in Synthesis.

Project description:A catalytic method for the site- and enantioselective addition of commercially available di-B(pin)-methane to allylic phosphates is introduced (pin=pinacolato). Transformations may be facilitated by an NHC-Cu complex (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) and products obtained in 63-95?% yield, 88:12 to >98:2 S(N)2'/S(N)2 selectivity, and 85:15-99:1 enantiomeric ratio. The utility of the approach, entailing the involvement of different catalytic cross-coupling processes, is highlighted by its application to the formal synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product rhopaloic acid?A.
