Total synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of a natural analgesic: crotonine

ABSTRACT: We report the first total synthesis of four possible absolute configurations and four other regional isomers of a naturally occurring alkaloid crotonine, which was isolated from Croton tiglium L. (Euphoriaceae) without elucidation of its absolute configuration. The concise five-step route with a chirally poor and regioselective strategy starting from monosaccharides was established, and the absolute structure of the natural crotonine was determined by comparison of the NMR spectra and optical rotations of the synthetic products.

Studies Culminating in the Total Synthesis and Determination of the Absolute Configuration of (-)-Saudin.

Project description:A full account of studies that culminated in the total synthesis of both antipodes and the assignment of its absolute configuration of Saudin, a hypoglycemic natural product. Two approaches are described, the first proceeding though bicyclic lactone intermediates and related second monocyclic esters. The former was obtained via asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloaddition and the latter by an asymmetric annulation protocol. Both approaches employ a Lewis acid promoted Claisen rearrangement, with the successful approach taking advantage of bidentate chelation to control the facial selectivity of the key Claisen rearrangement.

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.

Assignment of absolute configuration to SCH 351448 via total synthesis.

Project description:The synthesis and absolute configuration of SCH 351448, an interesting ionophoric natural product, are reported herein. Mukaiyama aldol-Prins and segment-coupling Prins reactions were employed to construct the constituent tetrahydropyrans of SCH 351448. Efforts to assemble the C2-symmetric core of the natural product by a templated olefin metathesis strategy are described; however, a stepwise fragment assembly was ultimately utilized to complete the target molecule.

Total synthesis and absolute configuration of the bisanthraquinone antibiotic BE-43472B.

Project description:An-T-biotic: The first total synthesis of the T-shaped bisanthraquinone natural product BE-43472B was accomplished and its absolute configuration assigned. Key transformations in the pivotal cascade sequence include a Diels-Alder reaction, a hemiketal formation, and a nucleophilic aromatic ipso substitution.

Determination of absolute configuration using kinetic resolution catalysts.

Project description:A new method was developed to assign the absolute configuration of molecules using kinetic resolution catalysts. Secondary alcohols were acylated in the presence of Birman's S-HBTM and R-HBTM catalysts, and the fast-reacting catalyst was identified by NMR analysis of the reaction mixture. A mnemonic was developed to assign configuration based on the identity of the fast-reacting catalyst. The method uses only 1-3 mg of alcohol, and it is more convenient than the Mosher method. The kinetic resolution strategy may be extended to other classes of molecules.

Total synthesis and absolute configuration of laurenditerpenol: a hypoxia inducible factor-1 activation inhibitor.

Project description:The absolute stereo structure of the natural product laurenditerpenol (1S, 6R, 7S, 10R, 11R, 14S, 15R) has been accomplished from eight plausible stereoisomers by its first asymmetric total synthesis in a highly convergent and flexible synthetic pathway. Six stereoisomers of laurenditerpenol were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity.

Establishing the absolute configuration of the asbestinins: enantioselective total synthesis of 11-acetoxy-4-deoxyasbestinin D.

Project description:A highly stereoselective synthesis of 11-acetoxy-4-deoxyasbestinin D (1) has been completed in 26 linear steps. The synthesis hinges on a selective glycolate aldol addition to establish the C-2 stereocenter, a ring-closing metathesis reaction to complete the oxonene, and an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition to establish the relative configuration at C-1, C-10, and C-14. This initial total synthesis of an asbestinin also serves to confirm the absolute configuration of this subclass of the C-2-C-11-cyclized cembranoid natural products.

Determination of absolute configuration of secondary alcohols using thin-layer chromatography.

Project description:A new implementation of the competing enantioselective conversion (CEC) method was developed to qualitatively determine the absolute configuration of enantioenriched secondary alcohols using thin-layer chromatography. The entire process for the method requires approximately 60 min and utilizes micromole quantities of the secondary alcohol being tested. A number of synthetically relevant secondary alcohols are presented. Additionally, (1)H NMR spectroscopy was conducted on all samples to provide evidence of reaction conversion that supports the qualitative method presented herein.

Synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of (-)-(5R,6Z)-dendrolasin-5-acetate from the nudibranch Hypselodoris jacksoni.

Project description:A small sample of (-)-(5R,6Z)-dendrolasin-5-acetate, which was fully characterized by 2D NMR studies, was isolated from the nudibranch Hypselodoris jacksoni, along with the sesquiterpenes (+)-agassizin, (-)-furodysinin, (-)-euryfuran, (-)-dehydroherbadysidolide and (+)-pallescensone. A synthetic sample ([?]D -8.7) of the new metabolite was prepared by [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement of a geranylfuryl ether followed by acetylation of purified alcohol isomers. The absolute configuration at C-5 was established as R by the analysis of MPA ester derivatives of (Z)-5-hydroxydendrolasin obtained by preparative enantioselective HPLC.
