Studies toward the total synthesis of pluraflavin A.

ABSTRACT: 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.

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 α C-aryl glycoside by Stille cross-coupling and subsequent hydrogenation of the aryl glycal. Chemo- and stereoselective O-glycosylations of α oliose and β 3-epi vancosamine residues afforded a fully glycosylated aromatic core. Attempts to install the dimethylamino group of the C-disaccharide suggest tha ...[more]

Studies toward the first stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-quinolizidine 195C and other transformations.

Project description:Starting from a thio-substituted 4-quinolizidinone, a series of C-6 alkylated derivatives with a trans C-6, C-9a relationship was synthesized. Further transformations led to the first stereoselective total synthesis of the structure proposed for (±)-quinolizidine 195C, the major alkaloid isolated from the skin extracts of the Madagascan frog Mantella betsileo. Since the spectral data of the synthetic and natural products differed significantly, the true structure of (±)-quinolizidine 195C remains uncertain.

Studies toward the total synthesis of dihydrolycolucine. Preparation of AB and CEF ring fragments.

Project description:A strategy for the synthesis of the lycopodium alkaloid dihydrolycolucine (1) has been investigated. Synthetic routes were developed based on N-acylpyridinium salt chemistry to prepare target fragments 3 and 4 that could ultimately converge to the natural product. Key reactions include IMDA cycloadditions and retro-Mannich ring-openings to form both the AB and the EF ring fragments. The ring C precursor was prepared using pyridine substitution and directed lithiation chemistry. A Suzuki cross-coupling of rings C and EF led to the CEF ring fragment. Initial attempts at closure of the seven-membered D ring were unsuccessful.

Biomimetic total synthesis of tricycloillicinone and mechanistic studies toward the rearrangement of prenyl phenyl ethers.

Project description:The paper describes a short and biomimetic synthesis of tricycloillicinone, which was found to enhance the action of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). The synthetic route has two critical reactions: bulky, oxygenophilic methylaluminum bis(4-bromo-2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide) (MABR) promoted rearrangement of prenyl phenyl ether and photochemical cyclization. Furthermore, experiments were designed to explore the process of MABR promoted rearrangement. It was found that stereochemistry of deuterium labeled prenyl group was only partially scrambled, which suggests that there may be two possible reaction pathways involved in this process. It also suggests that the direct migration of prenyl group to para-position under these conditions is slightly favored over the Claisen-Cope process. The highly efficient synthetic route also provides important new opportunities to explore the biological behavior of tricycloillicinone.

Studies toward the total synthesis of Itralamide B and biological evaluation of its structural analogs.

Project description:Itralamides A and B were isolated from the lipophilic extract of Lyngbya majuscula collected from the eastern Caribbean. Itralamide B (1) showed cytotoxic activity towards human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293, IC50 = 6 μM). Preliminary studies disapproved the proposed stereochemistry of itralamide. In this paper, we will provide a full account of the total synthesis of four stereoisomers of itralamide B and the results derived from biological tests of these structural congeners.

Progress toward the total synthesis of frondosin C.

Project description:A straightforward approach toward the total synthesis of frondosin C is described. This strategy involves a key one-pot, microwave-assisted 5-exo cyclization-Claisen rearrangement sequence that was used for the expedient assembly of the frondosic C scaffold. Subsequent manipulation of the tetracyclic core allowed the synthesis of an advanced intermediate bearing the characteristic diene moiety in the B ring. [reaction: see text]

Efforts toward the Total Synthesis of Elisabethin A.

Project description:We describe our efforts toward the total synthesis of the natural product elisabethin A. The first route was guided by the proposed biosynthesis, assembling the 6,6-ring system before forming the five-membered ring including the quaternary carbon. The second approach includes a high yielding cyclization under Mitsunobu conditions as a key step. It allowed the preparation of an unusual and highly functionalized bicyclic 6,5-spiro compound. Both routes share a common advanced precursor obtained from an "underdeveloped" Claisen rearrangement of an aryl dienyl ether.

Progress toward the total synthesis of psymberin/irciniastatin A.

Project description:In this paper, we describe our synthesis of four key building blocks for the total synthesis of psymberin (1) and its C4 epimer (2). Despite early difficulties in processing material to the advanced intermediate stage, we have been successful in developing high-yielding syntheses for the pyran core, natural side chain, 4-epi side chain, and aryl fragments of the molecule. Our findings from the optimization process are presented herein.

Approach toward the total synthesis of 5-hydroxyaloin A.

Project description:The synthesis of a thiomethyl analogue of 5-hydroxyaloin A has been achieved using benzyne and naphthyne [4 + 2] cycloadditions with substituted furans. A regiocontrolled cycloaddition was achieved using a silicon tether, and a regioselective ring opening was accomplished using a sulfide as a directing group.

Toward the total synthesis of FR901483: concise synthesis of the azatricyclic skeleton.

Project description:A concise synthesis of the azatricyclic core of FR901483 has been accomplished using a novel strategy that involves a nucleophilic addition to an N-acyl iminium ion, a ring-closing metathesis, a diastereoselective hydroboration, and a lactone-lactam rearrangement that worked well in a preliminary model study. Extension of this approach to the synthesis of a more highly functionalized intermediate that could be transformed into (-)-FR901483 first required the development of a new protecting group, the 1-ethylallyloxycarbamate group, for amines that may be removed under mild conditions. However, because the stereoselectivity in a key step in which a functionalized allyl zinc reagent was added to an intermediate hydroxy-substituted imine was low, this route to (-)-FR901483 is no longer being pursued.
