A concise route to virginiamycin M2.

ABSTRACT: Modular, fully synthetic routes to structurally complex natural products provide useful avenues to access chemical diversity. Herein we report a concise route to virginiamycin M2, a member of the group A streptogramin class of natural products that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Our approach features a longest linear sequence of six steps from 7 simple building blocks, and is the shortest and highest yielding synthesis of any member of the streptogramin class reported to date. We believe this route will enable access to unexplored structural diversity and may serve as a useful tool to improve the therapeutic potential of the streptogramin class of antibiotics.

De novo formal synthesis of (-)-virginiamycin M2 via the asymmetric hydration of dienoates.

Project description:A de novo approach to the formal total synthesis of the macrolide natural product (-)-virginiamycin M2 has been achieved via a convergent approach. The absolute and relative stereochemistry of the nonpeptide portion of (-)-virginiamycin M2 was introduced by two Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation reactions.

Concise review: cell therapies: the route to widespread adoption.

Project description:We identify three dimensions with which to classify heuristically the routes to widespread adoption of cellular therapies. The first dimension is based on the relative involvement of clinicians and companies in a particular cellular therapy. The second dimension is based on cell type and consequent scale of manufacture. The third dimension classifies the therapeutic intervention as a procedure or product and has perhaps received less attention. We suggest that for those cellular therapies that require therapeutic procedures, close collaboration between companies and clinicians will reduce the time to widespread adoption. For selected cellular therapies we make predictions of the likely time to widespread adoption.

Concise route to defined stereoisomers of the hydroxy acid of the chondramides.

Project description:The use of Kobayashi vinylogous aldol reaction in the reaction with acetaldehyde led to anti-aldol product 11. After reductive removal of the chiral auxiliary, the primary alcohol was converted to the allyliodide 14. This compound could be engaged in an Evans alkylation reaction, leading eventually to hydroxy acid 19. Inclusion of a Mitsunobu inversion reaction on the sequence starting with ent-11 led to hydroxy ester 30, featuring a 6,7-syn-configuration. These hydroxy acids should help to elucidate the correct stereostructure of the chondramide depsipeptides.

A concise synthetic route to the stereotetrad core of the briarane diterpenoids.

Project description:A concise synthesis (under 10 steps) of the stereotetrad core of the briarane diterpenoids is reported. This approach harnesses the unique reactivity of salicylate ester derived 2,5-cyclohexadienones to quickly build complexity. In particular, a highly diastereoselective acetylide conjugate addition/?-ketoester alkylation sequence was used to set the relative configuration of the C1 (quaternary) and C10 (tertiary) vicinal stereocenters. The sterochemical outcome of the ?-ketoester alkylation appears to be governed by torsional steering in the transition state.

Fluorocyclisation via I(I)/I(III) catalysis: a concise route to fluorinated oxazolines.

Project description:Herein, we describe a catalytic fluorooxygenation of readily accessible N-allylcarboxamides via an I(I)/I(III) manifold to generate 2-oxazolines containing a fluoromethyl group. Catalysis is conditional on the oxidation competence of Selectfluor®, whilst HF serves as both a fluoride source and Brønsted acid activator. The C(sp3)-F bond of the mono-fluoromethyl unit and the C(sp3)-O bond of the ring are aligned in a synclinal relationship thereby engaging in stabilising hyperconjugative interactions with vicinal, electron-rich ?-bonds (?C-C??*C-F and ?C-H??*C-O). This manifestation of the stereoelectronic gauche effect was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis of a representative example. Given the importance of fluorine in drug discovery, its ability to modulate conformation, and the prevalence of the 2-oxazoline scaffold in Nature, this strategy provides a rapid entry into an important bioisostere class.

A Concise Route for the Synthesis of Tetracyclic Meroterpenoids: (±)-Aureol Preparation and Mechanistic Interpretation.

Project description:A new concise general methodology for the synthesis of different tetracyclic meroterpenoids is reported: (±)-aureol (1), the key intermediate of this general route. The synthesis of (±)-aureol (1) was achieved in seven steps (28% overall yield) from (±)-albicanol. The key steps of this route include a C-C bond-forming reaction between (±)-albicanal and a lithiated arene unit and a rearrangement involving 1,2-hydride and 1,2-methyl shifts promoted by BF3•Et2O as activator and water as initiator.

The key steps involve a Frater-Seebach diastereoselective alkylation and a fast intramolecular cyclization.

Desymmetrization of Prochiral Cyclobutanones via Nitrogen Insertion: A Concise Route to Chiral γ-Lactams.

Project description:Asymmetric access to γ-lactams is achieved via a cyclobutanone ring expansion using widely available (1S,2R)-1-amino-2-indanol for chiral induction. Mechanistic analysis of the key N,O-ketal rearrangement reveals a Curtin-Hammett scenario, which enables a downstream stereoinduction (up to 88:12 dr) and is corroborated by spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational studies. In combination with an easy deprotection protocol, this operationally simple sequence allows the synthesis of a range of optically pure γ-lactams, including those bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. In addition, the formal synthesis of drug molecules baclofen, brivaracetam, and pregabalin further demonstrates the synthetic utility and highlights the general applicability of the presented method.

A Concise Route to Water-Soluble 2,6-Disubstituted BODIPY-Carbohydrate Fluorophores by Direct Ferrier-Type C-Glycosylation.

Project description:Novel, linker-free, BODIPY-carbohydrate derivatives containing sugar residues at positions C2 and C6 are efficiently obtained by, hitherto unreported, Ferrier-type C-glycosylation of 8-aryl-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl BODIPYs with commercially available tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal followed by saponification. This transformation, which involves the electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) of the dipyrrin framework with an allylic oxocarbenium ion, provides easy access to BODIPY-carbohydrate hybrids with excellent photophysical properties and a weaker tendency to aggregate in concentrated water solutions.

Catalyst-controlled stereoselective olefin metathesis as a principal strategy in multistep synthesis design: a concise route to (+)-neopeltolide.

Project description:Molybdenum-, tungsten-, and ruthenium-based complexes that control the stereochemical outcome of olefin metathesis reactions have been recently introduced. However, the complementary nature of these systems through their combined use in multistep complex molecule synthesis has not been illustrated. A concise diastereo- and enantioselective route that furnishes the anti-proliferative natural product neopeltolide is now disclosed. Catalytic transformations are employed to address every stereochemical issue. Among the featured processes are an enantioselective ring-opening/cross-metathesis promoted by a Mo monoaryloxide pyrrolide (MAP) complex and a macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis that affords a trisubstituted alkene and is catalyzed by a Mo bis(aryloxide) species. Furthermore, Z-selective cross-metathesis reactions, facilitated by Mo and Ru complexes, have been employed in the stereoselective synthesis of the acyclic dienyl moiety of the target molecule.
