Total synthesis of maoecrystal V: early-stage C-H functionalization and lactone assembly by radical cyclization.

ABSTRACT: A total synthesis of the unusual ent-kaurane maoecrystal V is described. The synthesis strategy features a counterintuitive early disconnection of the lactone subunit to a polycyclic enol ether intermediate in order to preserve the central tetrahydrofuran ring until the beginning stages of the synthesis. This strategy enables an application of C-H functionalization at the early phase of the synthesis during the construction of a dihydrobenzofuran intermediate.

Total synthesis of (±)-maoecrystal V.

Project description:The total synthesis of racemic maoecrystal V has been accomplished. Key steps include an intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization to rapidly construct the core system from simple starting materials and the creation of the A-C ring trans-fusion through intramolecular delivery of a hydrogen to the hindered ?-face of the ring system.

11-Step Total Synthesis of (-)-Maoecrystal V.

Project description:An expedient, practical, and enantioselective route to the highly congested ent-kaurane diterpene maoecrystal V is presented. This route, which has been several years in the making, is loosely modeled after a key pinacol shift in the proposed biosynthesis. Only 11 steps, many of which are strategic in that they build key skeletal bonds and incorporate critical functionalities, are required to access (-)-maoecrystal V. Several unique and unexpected maneuvers are featured in this potentially scalable pathway. Reevaluation of the biological activity calls into question the initial exuberance surrounding this natural product.

Enantioselective synthesis of (-)-maoecrystal V by enantiodetermining C-H functionalization.

Project description:The evolution of a program directed at the enantioselective total synthesis of maoecrystal V, a highly modified ent-kauranoid, is described. An early stage chiral auxiliary-directed asymmetric C-H functionalization for the construction of a key benzofuran intermediate enabled the first asymmetric synthesis of the natural enantiomer of maoecrystal V, confirming the assigned stereochemistry. A divergent course of the central intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, which is dependent on the nature of the dienophile, initially led to the development of an unanticipated and previously unknown isomer of maoecrystal V, which we named maoecrystal ZG. In light of the reported selective and potent cytotoxic activity of maoecrystal V, the cytotoxic properties of maoecrystal ZG were also investigated.

Project description:This research paper is aimed at studying the total synthesis of pharmacologically active lignan (-)-hinokinin. The synthesis features a three-step cascade reaction involving highly stereoselective Michael addition, anion-oxidative hydroxylation, and oxygen anion cyclization to construct the pivotal butyrolactonimidate intermediate.

Chemoenzymatic Total Synthesis and Structural Diversification of Tylactone-Based Macrolide Antibiotics through Late-Stage Polyketide Assembly, Tailoring, and C-H Functionalization.

Project description:Polyketide synthases (PKSs) represent a powerful catalytic platform capable of effecting multiple carbon-carbon bond forming reactions and oxidation state adjustments. We explored the functionality of two terminal PKS modules that produce the 16-membered tylosin macrocycle, using them as biocatalysts in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of tylactone and its subsequent elaboration to complete the first total synthesis of the juvenimicin, M-4365, and rosamicin classes of macrolide antibiotics via late-stage diversification. Synthetic chemistry was employed to generate the tylactone hexaketide chain elongation intermediate that was accepted by the juvenimicin (Juv) ketosynthase of the penultimate JuvEIV PKS module. The hexaketide is processed through two complete modules (JuvEIV and JuvEV) in vitro, which catalyze elongation and functionalization of two ketide units followed by cyclization of the resulting octaketide into tylactone. After macrolactonization, a combination of in vivo glycosylation, selective in vitro cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation, and chemical oxidation was used to complete the scalable construction of a series of macrolide natural products in as few as 15 linear steps (21 total) with an overall yield of 4.6%.

Total synthesis of pumiliotoxins 209F and 251D via late-stage, nickel-catalyzed epoxide-alkyne reductive cyclization.

Project description:Pumiliotoxins 209F and 251D were synthesized using highly selective nickel-catalyzed epoxide-alkyne reductive cyclizations as the final step. The exocyclic (Z)-alkene found in the majority of the pumiliotoxins was formed stereospecifically and regioselectively, without the use of a directing group on the alkyne, and the epoxide underwent ring opening exclusively at the less hindered carbon to provide the requisite tertiary alcohol. The epoxides were prepared using diastereoselective addition of a sulfoxonium anion to a proline-derived methyl ketone.

Photocatalytic Late-Stage Functionalization of Sulfonamides via Sulfonyl Radical Intermediates.

Project description:A plethora of drug molecules and agrochemicals contain the sulfonamide functional group. However, sulfonamides are seldom viewed as synthetically useful functional groups. To confront this limitation, a late-stage functionalization strategy is described, which allows sulfonamides to be converted to pivotal sulfonyl radical intermediates. This methodology exploits a metal-free photocatalytic approach to access radical chemistry, which is harnessed by combining pharmaceutically relevant sulfonamides with an assortment of alkene fragments. Additionally, the sulfinate anion can be readily obtained, further broadening the options for sulfonamide functionalization. Mechanistic studies suggest that energy-transfer catalysis (EnT) is in operation.

Evaluation of 'east-to-west' ether-forming strategies for the total synthesis of maoecrystal V.

Project description:Model systems that evaluated different approaches to construct the central ether ring of maoecrystal V are described. Our first model systems attempted the ether formation using C-H functionalization reactions, which led to interesting rearrangements but none of the desired ether product. An intramolecular conjugate addition strategy was then explored that successfully formed the targeted C-O bond but resulted in the undesired stereochemistry.

Meroterpenoid Synthesis via Sequential Polyketide Aromatization and Radical Anion Cascade Triene Cyclization: Biomimetic Total Syntheses of Austalide Natural Products.

Project description:The first total synthesis of five austalide natural products, (±)-17 S-dihydroaustalide K, (±)-austalide K, (±)-13-deacetoxyaustalide I, (±)-austalide P, and (±)-13-deoxyaustalide Q acid, was accomplished via a series of biomimetic transformations. Key steps involved polyketide aromatization of a trans, trans-farnesol-derived ?,?-diketodioxinone into the corresponding ?-resorcylate, followed by titanium(III)-mediated reductive radical cyclization of an epoxide to furnish the drimene core. Subsequent phenylselenonium ion induced diastereoselective cyclization of the drimene completed the essential carbon framework of the austalides to access (±)-17 S-dihydroaustalide K, (±)-austalide K, and (±)-13-deacetoxyaustalide I via sequential oxidations. Furthermore, (±)-13-deacetoxyaustalide I could serve as a common intermediate to be derivatized into other related natural products, (±)-austalide P and (±)-13-deoxyaustalide Q acid, by functionalizing the cyclic lactone moiety.
