10-Step Asymmetric Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Elucidation of (+)-Dragmacidin?D.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric synthesis of dragmacidin?D (1) was completed in 10?steps. Its sole stereocenter was set by using direct asymmetric alkylation enabled by a C2-symmetric tetramine and lithium N-(trimethylsilyl)-tert-butylamide as the enolization reagent. A central Larock indole synthesis was employed in a convergent assembly of the heterocyclic subunits. The stereochemical evidence from this work strongly supports the predicted S configuration at the 6''' position, which is consistent with other members of the dragmacidin family of natural products.

Total synthesis of (±)-dragmacidin E.

Project description:The bis indole sponge alkaloid dragmacidin E was synthesized in racemic form over 25 steps starting from 7-benzhydroxyindole. Key steps include (a) a Witkop cyclization to facilitate construction of the indole-spanning seven-membered ring and (b) a cyclodehydrative pyrazinone synthesis that unites the two indole-containing sectors.

Asymmetric total synthesis of smyrindiol employing an organocatalytic aldol key step.

Project description:The first organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of smyrindiol, by using an (S)-proline catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular aldol reaction as the key step, is described. Smyrindiol was synthesized from commercially available 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in 15 steps, with excellent stereoselectivity (de = 99%, ee = 99%). In the course of this total synthesis a new and mild coumarin assembly was developed.

Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Streptide.

Project description:Streptide (1) is a peptide-derived macrocyclic natural product that has attracted considerable attention since its discovery in 2015. It contains an unprecedented post-translational modification that intramolecularly links the β-carbon (C3) of a residue 2 lysine with the C7 of a residue 6 tryptophan, thereby forming a 20-membered cyclic peptide. Herein, we report the first total synthesis of streptide that confirms the regiochemistry of the lysine-tryptophan cross-link and provides an unambiguous assignment of the stereochemistry (3R vs 3S) of the lysine-2 C3 center. Both the 3R and the originally assigned 3S lysine diastereomers were independently prepared by total synthesis, and it is the former, not the latter, that was found to correlate with the natural product. The approach enlists a powerful Pd(0)-mediated indole annulation for the key macrocyclization of the complex core peptide, utilizes an underdeveloped class of hypervalent iodine(III) aryl substrates in a palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/β-arylation reaction conducted on a lysine derivative, and provides access to material with which the role of streptide and related natural products may be examined.

Total synthesis of (+/-)-aplykurodinone-1: traceless stereochemical guidance.

Project description:The total synthesis of the highly degraded steroidal natural product, aplykurodinone-1 (1), has been accomplished. Key features include a one-flask hydrolysis/retro-aldol/iodolactonization sequence to excise the C(8) hydroxymethylene functionality with retention of stereochemistry and the stereoselective installation of the C(13) methyl group through hydrogenation with homogeneous catalyst.

Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Nostosin B.

Project description:Nostosins A and B were isolated from a hydrophilic extract of Nostoc sp. strain from Iran, which exhibits excellent tryps inhibitory activity. Nostosin A was the most potent natural tripeptide aldehyde as trypsin inhibitor up to now. Both R- and S-2-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxy-phenyl) butanoic acid (Hhpba) were prepared and incorporated into the total synthesis of nostosin B, respectively. Careful comparison of the NMR spectra and optical rotation data of synthetic nostosin B (1a and 1b) with the natural product led to the unambiguous identification of the R-configuration of the Hhpba fragment, which was further confirmed by co-injection with the authentic sample on HPLC using both reversed phase column and the chiral AD-RH column.

Total synthesis and stereochemical assignment of (±)-sorbiterrin A.

Project description:A concise, biomimetic approach to sorbiterrin A has been developed employing consecutive Michael additions of a 4-hydroxypyrone to a sorbicillinol derivative and silver nanoparticle-mediated bridged aldol/dehydration to construct the [3.3.1] ring system. The relative stereochemistry of sorbiterrin A was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Total synthesis and stereochemical assignment of (-)-ushikulide A.

Project description:We report the determination of the full stereostructure of (-)-ushikulide A (1), a spiroketal containing macrolide by total synthesis. Ushikulide A (1) was isolated from a culture broth of Streptomyces sp. IUK-102 and exhibits potent immunosuppressant activity (IC(50) = 70 nM). To embark upon an ushikulide A synthesis, a tentative assignment was made based on analogy to cytovaricin (2), a related macrolide isolated from a culture of Streptomyces diastatochromogenes whose full structure was previously established via synthesis and X-ray crystallography. This report delineates studies on several key steps, namely a direct aldol reaction catalyzed by the dinuclear zinc ProPhenol complex, a metal catalyzed spiroketalization, as well as application of an unprecedented asymmetric alkynylation of a simple saturated aldehyde with methyl propiolate to prepare the nucleophilic partner for a Marshall-Tamaru propargylation. These studies culminated in the first total synthesis and stereochemical assignment of (-)-ushikulide A and significantly extended the scope of the above-mentioned methodologies.

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.

Coibacins A and B: total synthesis and stereochemical revision.

Project description:The interface between synthetic organic chemistry and natural products was explored in order to unravel the structure of coibacin A, a metabolite isolated from the marine cyanobacterium cf. Oscillatoria sp. that exhibits selective antileishmanial activity and potent anti-inflammatory properties. Our synthetic plan focused on a convergent strategy that allows rapid access to the desired target by coupling of three key fragments involving E-selective Wittig and modified Julia olefinations. CD measurements and comparative HPLC analyses of the natural product and four synthetic stereoisomers led to determination of its absolute configuration, thus correcting the original assignment at C-5 and unambiguously establishing those at C-16 and C-18. Additionally, we synthesized coibacin B on the basis of the assignment of configuration for coibacin A.
