Total Synthesis of Malacidin A by β-Hydroxyaspartic Acid Ligation-Mediated Cyclization and Absolute Structure Establishment.

ABSTRACT: The development of novel antibiotics is critical to combating the growing emergence of drug-resistant pathogens. Malacidin A is a new member of the calcium-dependent antibiotic (CDAs) family with activity against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Its mode of action is distinct from classical CDAs. However, the absolute structure of malacidin A has not been established. Herein, the total syntheses of malacidin A and its analogues are reported by a combination of Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and β-hydroxyaspartic acid ligation-mediated peptide cyclization. The total synthesis enabled us to establish the absolute configuration of malacidin A, which is in agreement with those for natural malacidin A confirmed by advanced Marfey's analysis in our study.

Total synthesis, structure revision, and absolute configuration of (-)-brevenal.

Project description:Total synthesis of structure 1 originally proposed for brevenal, a nontoxic polycyclic ether natural product isolated from the Florida red tide dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, was accomplished. The key features of the synthesis involved (i) convergent assembly of the pentacyclic polyether skeleton based on our developed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling chemistry and (ii) stereoselective construction of the multi-substituted (E,E)-dienal side chain by using copper(I) thiophen-2-carboxylate (CuTC)-promoted modified Stille coupling. The disparity of NMR spectra between the synthetic material and the natural product required a revision of the proposed structure. Detailed spectroscopic comparison of synthetic 1 with natural brevenal, coupled with the postulated biosynthetic pathway for marine polyether natural products, suggested that the natural product was most likely represented by 2, the C26 epimer of the proposed structure 1. The revised structure was finally validated by completing the first total synthesis of (-)-2, which also unambiguously established the absolute configuration of the natural product.

Total synthesis of aspeverin via an iodine(III)-mediated oxidative cyclization.

Project description:The first total synthesis of aspeverin, a prenylated indole alkaloid isolated from Aspergillus versicolor in 2013, is described. Key steps utilized to assemble the core structure of the target include a highly diastereoselective Diels-Alder reaction, a Curtius rearrangement, and a unique strategy for installation of the geminal dimethyl group. A novel iodine(III)-initiated cyclization was then used to install the bicyclic urethane linkage distinctive to the natural product.

Total synthesis of (±)-decursivine via BINOL-phosphoric acid catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization.

Project description:The synthesis of tetracyclic indole alkaloid (±)-decursivine was accomplished using BINOL-phosphoric acid catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization as a key step with (bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene (PIFA) as an oxidizing agent. This represents one of the shortest and highest yielding routes for the synthesis of (±)-decursivine from readily available starting materials.

Enantioselective total syntheses of nankakurines A and B: confirmation of structure and establishment of absolute configuration.

Project description:Total syntheses of (+)-nankakurine A (2) and (+)-nankakurine B (3) were accomplished by a sequence that employs an intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of an azomethine imine intermediate to form the azatricyclic moiety and establish the relative configuration of the spiropiperidine ring. These syntheses, together with the synthesis of the originally purported structure 1 of nankakurine A, rigorously establish the relative and absolute configuration of these structurally unusual Lycopodium alkaloids. The syntheses are sufficiently concise that gram quantities of (+)-nankakurine A (2) and (+)-nankakurine B (3) will be available for further biological studies.

HF-Free Boc Synthesis of Peptide Thioesters for Ligation and Cyclization.

Project description:We have developed a convenient method for the direct synthesis of peptide thioesters, versatile intermediates for peptide ligation and cyclic peptide synthesis. The technology uses a modified Boc SPPS strategy that avoids the use of anhydrous HF. Boc in?situ neutralization protocols are used in combination with Merrifield hydroxymethyl resin and TFA/TMSBr cleavage. Avoiding HF extends the scope of Boc SPPS to post-translational modifications that are compatible with the milder cleavage conditions, demonstrated here with the synthesis of the phosphorylated protein CHK2. Peptide thioesters give easy, direct, access to cyclic peptides, illustrated by the synthesis of cyclorasin, a KRAS inhibitor.

Total synthesis of (±)-rocaglamide via oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization.

Project description:This article describes the evolution of a Nazarov cyclization-based synthetic strategy targeting the anticancer, antiinflammatory, and insecticidal natural product (±)-rocaglamide. Initial pursuit of a polarized heteroaromatic Nazarov cyclization to construct the congested cyclopentane core revealed an unanticipated electronic bias in the pentadienyl cation. This reactivity was harnessed in a successful second-generation approach using an oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization of a heteroaryl alkoxyallene. Full details of these two approaches are given, as well as the characterization of undesired reaction pathways available to the Nazarov cyclization product. A sequence of experiments that led to an understanding of the unexpected reactivity of this key intermediate is described, which culminated in the successful total synthesis of (+)-rocaglamide.

Total Synthesis of (+)-Raputindole A: An Iridium-Catalyzed Cyclization Approach.

Project description:This work describes the total synthesis of raputindole A (1) through a convergent approach that features (1) an iridium-catalyzed cyclization to assemble the tricyclic core of the northern part, (2) enzymatic resolution to secure the preparation of an enantiomerically pure benzylic alcohol intermediate, and (3) the installation of the isobutenyl side chain via methallylation of the corresponding benzylic carbocation and coupling of the northern and southern parts via the Heck reaction. (+)-Raputindole A (1) was prepared in 10 steps (longest linear sequence) in 3.3% overall yield.

Assignment of absolute configuration to SCH 351448 via total synthesis.

Project description:The synthesis and absolute configuration of SCH 351448, an interesting ionophoric natural product, are reported herein. Mukaiyama aldol-Prins and segment-coupling Prins reactions were employed to construct the constituent tetrahydropyrans of SCH 351448. Efforts to assemble the C2-symmetric core of the natural product by a templated olefin metathesis strategy are described; however, a stepwise fragment assembly was ultimately utilized to complete the target molecule.
