Collaborative Total Synthesis: Routes to (±)-Hippolachnin A Enabled by Quadricyclane Cycloaddition and Late-Stage C-H Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: Described herein are synthetic efforts toward the synthesis of hippolachnin A. Two independently devised routes from the Brown and Wood groups allowed for the synthesis of hippolachnin A from the unusual starting material, quadricyclane, by harnessing the power of late-stage C-H oxidation. Collaborative union of the best features of the two routes allowed for preparation of the molecule with improved efficiency.

Late-stage and strain-accelerated oxidation enabled synthesis of haouamine A.

Project description:Herein we report a new synthetic entry to the strained cyclophane alkaloid natural product, haouamine A. The successful strategy featured a rhodium-catalyzed diazo-insertion reaction to install the all-carbon quaternary center and a rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular aziridination reaction to establish the nitrogen-bearing stereocenter, of the target molecule. Most notably, a late-stage, site-selective and strain-accelerated oxidation of a "deoxygenated" macrocyclic intermediate was successfully implemented, and in doing so provided a novel solution to the infamous biphenol cyclophane system of haouamine A.

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Nigelladine A via Late-Stage C-H Oxidation Enabled by an Engineered P450 Enzyme.

Project description:An enantioselective total synthesis of the norditerpenoid alkaloid nigelladine A is described. Strategically, the synthesis relies on a late-stage C-H oxidation of an advanced intermediate. While traditional chemical methods failed to deliver the desired outcome, an engineered cytochrome P450 enzyme was employed to effect a chemo- and regioselective allylic C-H oxidation in the presence of four oxidizable positions. The enzyme variant was readily identified from a focused library of three enzymes, allowing for completion of the synthesis without the need for extensive screening.

Total synthesis of biseokeaniamides A-C and late-stage electrochemically-enabled peptide analogue synthesis.

Project description:The first total synthesis of cytotoxic cyanobacterial peptide natural products biseokeaniamides A-C is reported employing a robust solid-phase approach to peptide backbone construction followed by coupling of a key thiazole building block. To rapidly access natural product analogues, we have optimized an operationally simple electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation-nucleophilic addition pathway which exploits the reactivity of native C-terminal peptide carboxylates and abrogates the need for building block syntheses. Electrochemically-generated N,O-acetal intermediates are engaged with electron-rich aromatics and organometallic reagents to forge modified amino acids and peptides. The value of this late-stage modification method is highlighted by the expedient and divergent production of bioactive peptide analogues, including compounds which exhibit enhanced cytotoxicity relative to the biseokeaniamide natural products.

Total Synthesis of (-)-Mitrephorone A Enabled by Stereoselective Nitrile Oxide Cycloaddition and Tetrasubstituted Olefin Synthesis.

Project description:A highly enantioselective and diastereoselective total synthesis of the diterpenoid (-)-mitrephorone A is presented. Key to the synthesis are stereocontrolled 1,4-semihydrogenation of a 1,3-diene to a tetrasubstituted double bond, enzyme-catalyzed malonate desymmetrization, and highly diastereoselective nitrile oxide cycloaddition. The streamlined strategy is a considerable improvement to those reported earlier in terms of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. For the first time, the combination of modern Pd-cross-coupling with Cr-catalyzed reduction allows for rapid access to tetrasubstituted olefins with full stereocontrol.

Concise Total Syntheses of (+)-Haplocidine and (+)-Haplocine via Late-Stage Oxidation of (+)-Fendleridine Derivatives.

Project description:We report the first total syntheses of (+)-haplocidine and its N1-amide congener (+)-haplocine. Our concise synthesis of these alkaloids required the development of a late-stage and highly selective C-H oxidation of complex aspidosperma alkaloid derivatives. A versatile, amide-directed ortho-acetoxylation of indoline amides enabled our implementation of a unified strategy for late-stage diversification of hexacyclic C19-hemiaminal ether structures via oxidation of the corresponding pentacyclic C19-iminium ions. An electrophilic amide activation of a readily available C21-oxygenated lactam, followed by transannular cyclization and in situ trapping of a transiently formed C19-iminium ion, expediently provided access to hexacyclic C19-hemiaminal ether alkaloids (+)-fendleridine, (+)-acetylaspidoalbidine, and (+)-propionylaspidoalbidine. A highly effective enzymatic resolution of a non-β-branched primary alcohol (E = 22) allowed rapid preparation of both enantiomeric forms of a C21-oxygenated precursor for synthesis of these aspidosperma alkaloids. Our synthetic strategy provides succinct access to hexacyclic aspidosperma derivatives, including the antiproliferative alkaloid (+)-haplocidine.

Enantioselective Synthesis of (-)-Vallesine: Late-Stage C17-Oxidation via Complex Indole Boronation.

Project description:The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-vallesine via a strategy that features a late-stage regioselective C17-oxidation followed by a highly stereoselective transannular cyclization is reported. The versatility of this approach is highlighted by the divergent synthesis of the archetypal alkaloid of this family, (+)-aspidospermidine, and an A-ring-oxygenated derivative, (+)-deacetylaspidospermine, the precursor to (-)-vallesine, from a common intermediate.

Total Synthesis of (-)-Salinosporamide?A via a Late Stage C-H Insertion.

Project description:The synthesis of (-)-salinosporamide?A, a proteasome inhibitor, is described. The synthesis highlights the assembly of a densely decorated pyrrolidinone core via an aza-Payne/hydroamination sequence. Central to the success of the synthesis is a late-stage C-H insertion reaction to functionalize a sterically encumbered secondary carbon. The latter functionalization leads to an enabling transformation where most of the prototypical strategies failed.

SuFEx Click Chemistry Enabled Late-Stage Drug Functionalization.

Project description:Sulfur(VI) Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) is a new family of click chemistry transformations which relies on readily available materials to produce compounds bearing the SVI-F motif. The potential of SuFEx in drug discovery has just started to be explored. We report the first method of SuFEx chemistry for the conversion of phenolic compounds to their respective arylfluorosulfate derivatives in situ in 96-well plates. This method is compatible with automated synthesis and screening to quickly assess the biological activities of the in situ generated, crude products. Using this method, we perform late-stage functionalization of a panel of known anticancer drugs to generate the corresponding arylfluorosulfates. These in situ generated arylfluorosulfates are directly tested in a cancer-cell growth inhibition assay in parallel with their phenolic precursors. We discover three arylfluorosulfates that exhibit improved anticancer cell proliferation activities compared to their phenol precursors. Among these three compounds, the fluorosulfate derivative of Fulvestrant possesses significantly enhanced activity to down-regulate estrogen receptor (ER) expression in ER+ breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and the fluorosulfate derivative of Combretastatin A4-a general anticancer drug currently being evaluated under clinical trials-exhibits a 70-fold increase in potency in the drug resistant colon cancer cell line HT-29.

Total Synthesis and Late-Stage C-H Oxidations of ent-Trachylobane Natural Products.

Project description:Herein, we present our studies to construct seven ent-trachylobane diterpenoids by employing a bioinspired two-phase synthetic strategy. The first phase provided enantioselective and scalable access to five ent-trachylobanes, of which methyl ent-trachyloban-19-oate was produced on a 300 mg scale. During the second phase, chemical C-H oxidation methods were employed to enable selective conversion to two naturally occurring higher functionalized ent-trachylobanes. The formation of regioisomeric analogs, which are currently inaccessible via enzymatic methods, reveals the potential as well as limitations of established chemical C-H oxidation protocols for complex molecule synthesis.
