Revision of the Li13Si4 structure.

ABSTRACT: Besides Li17Si4, Li16.42Si4, and Li15Si4, another lithium-rich representative in the Li-Si system is the phase Li13Si4 (trideca-lithium tetra-silicide), the structure of which has been determined previously [Frank et al. (1975 ▶). Z. Naturforsch. Teil B, 30, 10-13]. A careful analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns of Li13Si4 revealed discrepancies between experimentally observed and calculated Bragg positions. Therefore, we redetermined the structure of Li13Si4 on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Compared to the previous structure report, decisive differences are (i) the introduction of a split position for one Li site [occupancy ratio 0.838 (7):0.162 (7)], (ii) the anisotropic refinement of atomic displacement parameters for all atoms, and (iii) a high accuracy of atom positions and unit-cell parameters. The asymmetric unit of Li13Si4 contains two Si and seven Li atoms. Except for one Li atom situated on a site with symmetry 2/m, all other atoms are on mirror planes. The structure consists of isolated Si atoms as well as Si-Si dumbbells surrounded by Li atoms. Each Si atom is either 12- or 13-coordinated. The isolated Si atoms are situated in the ab plane at z = 0 and are strictly separated from the Si-Si dumbbells at z = 0.5.

Synthesis and structure revision of nakiterpiosin.

Project description:This manuscript describes a convergent synthesis and the revision of the relative stereochemistry of nakiterpiosin, a marine C-nor-D-homosteroid. Our synthesis features a late-stage carbonylative Stille cross-coupling reaction and a photo-Nazarov cyclization reaction that deliver the complete nakiterpiosin skeleton efficiently.

Total Synthesis and Structure Revision of Halioxepine.

Project description:The first total synthesis of halioxepine is accomplished using a 1,4-addition for constructing the quaternary center at C10 and a halo etherification for the generation of the tertiary ether at C7. The correct structure of halioxepine was determined by assembling different enantiomeric building blocks and by changing the relative configuration between C10 and C15.

Synthesis and Structure Revision of Symplocin A.

Project description:Symplocin A, a linear peptide possessing N-terminal N,N-dimethylisoleucine, statine, and valic acid residues, has been synthesized for the first time employing our previously established 'one-pot intramolecular tandem protocol'. Moreover, the stereochemistry of natural symplocin A was unambiguously revised through the confirmation by 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and HPLC comparisons with authentic natural product.

Total Synthesis of the Alleged Structure of Crenarchaeol Enables Structure Revision*.

Project description:Crenarchaeol is a glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipid produced exclusively in Archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota. This membrane-spanning lipid is undoubtedly the structurally most sophisticated of all known archaeal lipids and an iconic molecule in organic geochemistry. The 66-membered macrocycle possesses a unique chemical structure featuring 22 mostly remote stereocenters, and a cyclohexane ring connected by a single bond to a cyclopentane ring. Herein we report the first total synthesis of the proposed structure of crenarchaeol. Comparison with natural crenarchaeol allowed us to propose a revised structure of crenarchaeol, wherein one of the 22 stereocenters is inverted.

Total synthesis, structure revision, and absolute configuration of (-)-brevenal.

Project description:Total synthesis of structure 1 originally proposed for brevenal, a nontoxic polycyclic ether natural product isolated from the Florida red tide dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, was accomplished. The key features of the synthesis involved (i) convergent assembly of the pentacyclic polyether skeleton based on our developed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling chemistry and (ii) stereoselective construction of the multi-substituted (E,E)-dienal side chain by using copper(I) thiophen-2-carboxylate (CuTC)-promoted modified Stille coupling. The disparity of NMR spectra between the synthetic material and the natural product required a revision of the proposed structure. Detailed spectroscopic comparison of synthetic 1 with natural brevenal, coupled with the postulated biosynthetic pathway for marine polyether natural products, suggested that the natural product was most likely represented by 2, the C26 epimer of the proposed structure 1. The revised structure was finally validated by completing the first total synthesis of (-)-2, which also unambiguously established the absolute configuration of the natural product.

Cryptocaryols A and B: total syntheses, stereochemical revision, structure elucidation, and structure-activity relationship.

Project description:The first total syntheses and structural elucidation of cryptocaryol A and cryptocaryol B were achieved in 23 and 25 linear steps, respectively. The synthesis relied on the use of a key pseudo-Cs symmetric pentaol intermediate, which in a stereochemically divergent manner was converted into either enantiomer as well as diastereomers. This synthetic effort enabled the first structure-activity relationships of this class of PDCD4 stabilizing natural products.

Structure Revision and Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Inhibitory Activity of Drazepinone.

Project description:From the marine-derived fungus Penicillium sumatrense (Trichocomaceae), a pair of enantiomers [(+)-1 and (-)-1] were isolated with identical 1D NMR data to drazepinone, which was originally reported to have a trisubstituted naphthofuroazepinone skeleton. In this study, we confirmed the structures of the two enantiomers as drazepinone and revised their structures by detailed analysis of extensive 2D NMR data and a comparison of the calculated 13C chemical shifts, ECD, VCD, and ORD spectra with those of the experiment ones. (+)-1 and (-)-1 were evaluated for their PTP inhibitory activity in vitro. (-)-1 showed selective PTP inhibitory activity against PTP1B and TCPTP with IC50 values of 1.56 and 12.5 μg/mL, respectively.

Revision of the Structure and Total Synthesis of Topsentin C.

Project description:An efficient synthetic approach to access (indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diamines with a protecting group at the indole N atom from readily available 3-(2-nitrovinyl)indoles is reported. This approach includes solvent-free conjugate addition of -pivaloylhydroxylamines to 1-Boc-3-(2-nitrovinyl)indoles followed by mild reduction of the adducts. The obtained (indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diamines are convenient synthetic precursors for several classes of marine alkaloids. The first total synthesis of racemic topsentin C, a secondary metabolite from sp., based on this approach is reported. The initially proposed structure for topsentin C has been revised.
