Studies toward the Synthesis of Smenamide A, an Antiproliferative Metabolite from Smenospongia aurea: Total Synthesis of ent-Smenamide A and 16-epi-Smenamide A.

ABSTRACT: A chiral pool protocol toward the synthesis of the smenamide family of natural products is described. Two stereoisomers of smenamide A, namely, ent-smenamide A and 16-epi-smenamide A were synthesized with a 2.6 and 2.5% overall yield, respectively. Their carboxylic acid moieties were assembled starting from S-citronellene via two Wittig reactions and a Grignard process. Its coupling with either (S)- or (R)-dolapyrrolidinone, synthesized from Boc-l-Phe and Boc-d-Phe, respectively, was accomplished by using the Andrus protocol. This work also established the previously unknown relative and absolute configurations of smenamide A.

Asymmetric total synthesis of ent-cyclooroidin.

Project description:An enantiospecific total synthesis of the pyrrole-imidazole natural product cyclooroidin from histidine is described. The key N1-C9 bond is constructed through an intramolecular SN2-type of reaction of a chloro ester. Subsequent imidazole azidation at the 2-position, pyrrole bromination, azide reduction, and deprotection leads to the completion of the synthesis.

Total synthesis of (-)- and ent-(+)-vindoline.

Project description:[reaction: see text] Two exceptionally concise total syntheses of (-)- and ent-(+)-vindoline are detailed enlisting a diastereoselective tandem [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole. The unique reaction cascade assembles the fully functionalized pentacyclic ring system of vindoline in a single step that forms four C-C bonds and three rings while introducing all requisite functionality and setting all six stereocenters within the central ring including three contiguous and four total quaternary centers.

Total synthesis of (-)-kopsinine and ent-(+)-kopsinine.

Project description:The total synthesis of (-)-kopsinine and its unnatural enantiomer is detailed, enlisting a late-stage SmI2-mediated transannular free radical conjugate addition reaction for construction of the core bicyclo[2.2.2]octane ring system with strategic C21-C2 bond formation. Key to the approach is assemblage of the underlying skeleton by an intramolecular [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole that provided the precursor C21 functionalized pentacyclic ring system 1 in a single step in which the C3 methyl ester found in the natural product served as a key 1,3,4-oxadiazole substituent, activating it for participation in the initiating Diels-Alder reaction and stabilizing the intermediate 1,3-dipole.

Total synthesis of ent-pavettamine.

Project description:Pavettamine, a plant toxin first isolated from Pavetta harborii in 1995, was previously identified as a polyamine with C 2 symmetry and a 1,3-syn-diol moiety on a C10 carbon backbone - one of very few substituted polyamines to be isolated from nature. Its absolute configuration was later established by our first reported total synthesis in 2010. Herein we report the first total synthesis of the enantiomer of pavettamine, ent-pavettamine. The symmetrical structure of the molecule allows for the synthesis of a common C5 fragment that can be divergently transformed into two synthons for later convergent coupling to furnish the target carbon framework. Based on the success of the protocol we employed for the synthesis of the naturally occurring pavettamine, (S)-malic acid was again the starting material of choice for the synthesis of the two individual C5 fragments, with strategic differences in terminal-group manipulation allowing for the synthesis of ent-pavettamine rather than pavettamine. Chain extension and stereoselective ketone reduction were achieved using the (R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide chiral auxiliary to give the desired 1,3-syn-diol C5 unit. A protecting-group strategy was also developed for the orthogonal protection of the alcohol and amine functional groups as they were unveiled. The functionalized C5 fragments were coupled via reductive amination revealing the C10 carbon backbone. Deprotection of the alcohol and amine functional groups successfully provided ent-pavettamine as a TFA salt.

Isolation of Smenopyrone, a Bis-?-Pyrone Polypropionate from the Caribbean Sponge Smenospongia aurea.

Project description:The organic extract of the Caribbean sponge Smenospongia aurea has been shown to contain an array of novel chlorinated secondary metabolites derived from a mixed PKS-NRPS biogenetic route such as the smenamides. In this paper, we report the presence of a biogenetically different compound known as smenopyrone, which is a polypropionate containing two ?-pyrone rings. The structure of smenopyrone including its relative and absolute stereochemistry was determined by spectroscopic analysis (NMR, MS, ECD) and supported by a comparison with model compounds from research studies. Pyrone polypropionates are unprecedented in marine sponges but are commonly found in marine mollusks where their biosynthesis by symbiotic bacteria has been hypothesized and at least in one case demonstrated. Since pyrones have recently been recognized as bacterial signaling molecules, we speculate that smenopyrone could mediate inter-kingdom chemical communication between S. aurea and its symbiotic bacteria.

Total synthesis of (-)-2-epi-peloruside A.

Project description:A convergent synthesis of (-)-2-epi-peloruside A has been achieved. Highlights include implementation of multicomponent type I anion relay chemistry (ARC) to unite 2-TBS-1,3-dithiane with two epoxides to construct the eastern hemisphere, a late-stage dithiane union to secure the complete, fully functionalized carbon backbone, and Yamaguchi macrolactonization, which led to (-)-2-epi-peloruside A via an unexpected epimerization at C(2).

Total Synthesis of (+)-6-epi-Ophiobolin A.

Project description:The ophiobolin sesterterpenes are notable plant pathogens which have recently elicited significant chemical and biological attention because of their intriguing carbogenic frameworks, reactive functionalities, and emerging anticancer profiles. Reported herein is a total synthesis of (+)-6-epi-ophiobolin A in 14 steps, a task which addresses construction of the synthetically challenging spirocyclic tetrahydrofuran motif as well as several other key stereochemical problems. This work demonstrates a streamlined synthetic platform to complex ophiobolins leveraging disparate termination modes of a radical polycyclization cascade for divergent elaboration and functionalization.

Total synthesis of (-)- and ent-(+)-vindoline and related alkaloids.

Project description:A concise 11-step total synthesis of (-)- and ent-(+)-vindoline (3) is detailed based on a unique tandem intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole inspired by the natural product structure, in which three rings and four C-C bonds are formed central to the characteristic pentacyclic ring system setting all six stereocenters and introducing essentially all the functionality found in the natural product in a single step. As key elements of the scope and stereochemical features of the reaction were defined, a series of related natural products of increasing complexity were prepared by total synthesis including both enantiomers of minovine (4), 4-desacetoxy-6,7-dihydrovindorosine (5), 4-desacetoxyvindorosine (6), and vindorosine (7) as well as N-methylaspidospermidine (11). Subsequent extensions of the approach provided both enantiomers of 6,7-dihydrovindoline (8), 4-desacetoxyvindoline (9), and 4-desacetoxy-6,7-dihydrovindoline (10).
