Studies directed toward the synthesis of the massileunicellins. 2.

ABSTRACT: The fully substituted hydroisobenzofuran core of the massileunicellins containing 8 contiguous stereocenters was prepared in 12 steps from (S)-(+)-carvone. Noteworthy elements of the synthesis include a one-step oxidative rearrangement/epoxidation, a novel stereoselective directed reduction of a keto diol, and a directed hydrogenation of a congested tetrasubstituted alkene.

Studies Directed toward the Stereoselective Synthesis of Cytospolide E.

Project description:Our exhaustive effort toward the total synthesis of cytotoxic marine nonanolide cytospolide E has been detailed. To achieve this synthesis, we have explored both the ring-closing metathesis and lactonization-based macrocyclization strategies using a variety of precursors. Unfortunately, none of them provided the desired product. The ring-closing metathesis approach provided mainly the macrocycle with Z-olefin, whereas the macrolactonization strategy culminated in 8-epi-9-epi-cytospolide E following the regioselective formation of a 10-membered macrocycle over a 9-membered macrocycle.

Studies directed toward the exploitation of vicinal diols in the synthesis of (+)-nebivolol intermediates.

Project description:While the exploitation of the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation as the source of chirality in the synthesis of acyclic molecules and saturated heterocycles has been tremendous, its synthetic utility toward chiral benzo-annulated heterocycles is relatively limited. Thus, in the search for wider applications of Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation-derived diols for the synthesis of benzo-annulated heterocycles, we report herein our studies in the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-1-((R)-6-fluorochroman-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diol, (R)-1-((S)-6-fluorochroman-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diol and (S)-6-fluoro-2-((R)-oxiran-2-yl)chroman, which have been used as late-stage intermediates for the asymmetric synthesis of the antihypertensive drug (S,R,R,R)-nebivolol. Noteworthy is that a large number of racemic and asymmetric syntheses of nebivolol and their intermediates have been described in the literature, however, the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation has never been employed as the sole source of chirality for this purpose.

Studies toward the synthesis of maoecrystal V.

Project description:An approach toward the synthesis of maoecrystal V is described. The synthetic strategy for this approach was designed to address unique challenges posed by the strained tetrahydrofuran ring at the center of the target structure.

Initial Studies Directed toward the Rational Design of Aqueous Graphene Dispersants.

Project description:This study presents preliminary experimental data suggesting that sodium 4-(pyrene-1-yl)butane-1-sulfonate (PBSA), 5, an analogue of sodium pyrene-1-sulfonate (PSA), 1, enhances the stability of aqueous reduced graphene oxide (RGO) graphene dispersions. We find that RGO and exfoliated graphene dispersions prepared in the presence of 5 are approximately double the concentration of those made with commercially available PSA, 1. Quantum mechanical and molecular dynamics simulations provide key insights into the behavior of these molecules on the graphene surface. The seemingly obvious introduction of a polar sulfonate head group linked via an appropriate alkyl spacer to the aromatic core results in both more efficient binding of 5 to the graphene surface and more efficient solvation of the polar head group by bulk solvent (water). Overall, this improves the stabilization of the graphene flakes by disfavoring dissociation of the stabilizer from the graphene surface and inhibiting reaggregation by electrostatic and steric repulsion. These insights are currently the subject of further investigations in an attempt to develop a rational approach to the design of more effective dispersing agents for rGO and graphene in aqueous solution.

Studies toward the total synthesis of pluraflavin A.

Project description:A synthetic strategy towards the potent cytostatic agent pluraflavin A has been developed. Formation of the enantioenriched anthrapyran core bearing a halogen atom enabled the introduction of the ??C-aryl glycoside by Stille cross-coupling and subsequent hydrogenation of the aryl glycal. Chemo- and stereoselective O-glycosylations of ??oliose and ??3-epi vancosamine residues afforded a fully glycosylated aromatic core. Attempts to install the dimethylamino group of the C-disaccharide suggest that introduction of an azide group by displacement and subsequent reduction may pave the way to the total synthesis of pluraflavin A.

Synthetic studies directed toward the AB decalin common to HMP-Y1 and hibarimicinone.

Project description:Efforts toward the synthesis of the decalin ring system common to the hibarimicin shunt metabolite HMP-Y1 and parent aglycone hibarimicinone are reported herein. An intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization rapidly generated the decalin framework. Two approaches toward completion of the AB decalin were vetted. Incorporation of a phenylsulfonyl leaving group ?- to both a ketone and a ?-lactone followed by base-induced elimination of sulfinate led to the undesired ?,?-unsaturated lactone. Methanolysis of the ?-lactone followed by elimination produced the unexpected bridged cyclic ether by way of an intramolecular oxy-Michael addition of the endo oriented C13 alcohol.

Synthetic studies directed toward dideoxy lomaiviticinone lead to unexpected 1,2-oxazepine and isoxazole formation.

Project description:In the course of studies directed toward the synthesis of dideoxy lomaiviticinone, 3-(nitromethyl)cyclohexenones 2a (X = H) and 2b (X = I) were prepared. The corresponding enolates were reacted with naphthazarin (1) and unexpectedly afforded 1,2-oxazepine 3 and isoxazole 4, respectively. Rationale for their formation is proposed.

Studies directed toward the elucidation of the pharmacophore of steroid-based Sonic Hedgehog signaling inhibitors.

Project description:Previous work from our laboratory has established that the readily available steroid-based analog 2 of cyclopamine 1 is, like 1, a highly potent inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling. The first structure-activity relationship studies on 2, i.e., the synthesis and biological evaluation of both the C-17 epi analog 4 and the C-3 deoxy analog 11, both of which are more potent than cyclopamine 1, are described. The implications of these results for the emerging pharmacophore of these Sonic Hedgehog signaling inhibitors are discussed.

Project description:The asymmetric synthesis of the nonproteinogenic amino acids (2S,3S,4'S)-beta-hydroxyenduracididine 3 and (2R,3S,4'S)-beta-hydroxyenduracididine 4 in orthogonally protected form in 15 total steps from Garner's aldehyde is reported. The former and N-glycosylated form of the latter are found in the glycopeptide antibiotic mannopeptimycin.

Synthesis and Metabolic Studies of Host Directed Inhibitors for Anti Viral Therapy.

Project description:Targeting host cell factors required for virus replication provides an alternative to targeting pathogen components and represents a promising approach to develop broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutics. High-throughput screening (HTS) identified two classes of inhibitors (2 and 3) with broad-spectrum antiviral activity against ortho- and paramyxoviruses including influenza A virus (IAV), measles virus (MeV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3). Hit-to-lead optimization delivered inhibitor, 28a, with EC50 values of 0.88 and 0.81 μM against IAV strain WSN and MeV strain Edmonston, respectively. It was also found that compound 28a delivers good stability in human liver S9 fractions with a half-life of 165 minutes. These data establish 28a as a promising lead for antiviral therapy through a host-directed mechanism.
