Total Synthesis of Njaoamine C by Concurrent Macrocycle Formation.

ABSTRACT: In conceptual terms, the first total synthesis of the cytotoxic marine natural product njaoamine C differs from all known approaches toward related alkaloids of the manzamine superfamily in that both macrocyclic rings enveloping the diazatricyclic core are concomitantly formed; this goal was reached by double ring closing alkyne metathesis (dRCAM). The success of this maneuver does not merely reflect a favorable preorientation of the four alkyne chains that need to be concatenated in the proper pairwise manner but is also the outcome of dynamic covalent chemistry involving error correction by the chosen "canopy" molybdenum alkylidyne catalyst. The end game downstream of dRCAM capitalizes on the striking chemoselectivity of palladium-catalyzed hydrostannation, which selects for (hetero)arylalkynes even in the presence of sterically much more accessible dialkylalkynes or alkenes; for this preference, the method complements the classical repertoire of hydrometalation and semireduction reactions.

Oxidative carbocation formation in macrocycles: synthesis of the neopeltolide macrocycle.

Project description:Macrocyclic oxocarbenium ions can be formed from macrolactones that contain benzylic or allylic ether groups through oxidative carbon-hydrogen-bond activation mediated by 2,3-dichloro-4,5-dicyanoquinone (DDQ). The applicability of this efficient reaction to complex-molecule synthesis was demonstrated by its use in a brief formal synthesis of neopeltolide (see retrosynthetic scheme) to form the tetrahydropyrone ring.

The taumycin A macrocycle: asymmetric total synthesis and revision of relative stereochemistry.

Project description:The first asymmetric total synthesis and revision of the relative configuration of the 12-membered taumycin A macrocycle is described. Key to the success of this work was a novel α-keto ketene macrocyclization that provided an efficient means by which to access two diastereomers of the desired macrolide without the need to employ additional coupling agents or unnecessary oxidation state adjustments.

Foldamer-templated catalysis of macrocycle formation.

Project description:Macrocycles, compounds containing a ring of 12 or more atoms, find use in human medicine, fragrances, and biological ion sensing. The efficient preparation of macrocycles is a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chemistry because the high entropic cost of large-ring closure allows undesired intermolecular reactions to compete. Here, we present a bioinspired strategy for macrocycle formation through carbon-carbon bond formation. The process relies on a catalytic oligomer containing α- and β-amino acid residues to template the ring-closing process. The α/β-peptide foldamer adopts a helical conformation that displays a catalytic primary amine-secondary amine diad in a specific three-dimensional arrangement. This catalyst promotes aldol reactions that form rings containing 14 to 22 atoms. Utility is demonstrated in the synthesis of the natural product robustol.

Concise Synthesis of Tetrazole Macrocycle.

Project description:A concise two step synthesis of tetrazole containing macrocycles from readily accessible starting materials is presented. The first step comprises a chemoselective amidation of amino acid derived isocyanocarboxylicacid esters with unprotected symmetrical diamines to afford diverse α-isocyano-ω-amines. In the second step, the α-isocyano-ω-amines undergo an Ugi tetrazole reaction to close the macrocycle. Advantageously, this strategy allows short access to 11-19-membered macrocycles in which substituents can be independently varied at three different positions.

Two-Step Macrocycle Synthesis by Classical Ugi Reaction.

Project description:The direct nonpeptidic macrocycle synthesis of α-isocyano-ω-amines via the classical Ugi four-component reaction (U-4CR) is introduced. Herein an efficient and flexible two-step procedure to complex macrocycles is reported. In the first step, the reaction between unprotected diamines and isocyanocarboxylic acids gives high diversity of unprecedented building blocks in high yield. In the next step, the α-isocyano-ω-amines undergo a U-4CR with high diversity of aldehydes and carboxylic acids in a one-pot procedure. This synthetic approach is short and efficient and leads to a wide range of macrocycles with different ring sizes.

Formation of an actin-like filament concurrent with the enzymatic synthesis of inorganic polyphosphate.

Project description:Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P), a chain of hundreds of phosphate residues linked by ATP-like bonds, is found in every cell in nature and is commonly produced from ATP by poly P kinases (e.g., PPK1). Dictyostelium discoideum, the social slime mold, possesses a PPK activity (DdPPK1) with sequence similarity to bacterial PPKs. We find here a previously unrecognized PPK (DdPPK2) in D. discoideum with the sequences and properties of actin-related proteins (Arps) that are similar to muscle actins in size, properties, and globular-filamentous structural transitions. Significantly, the unique actin inhibitors, phalloidin and DNase I, also inhibit synthesis of poly P by DdPPK2. Thus, this particular Arp complex is an enzyme that can polymerize into an actin-like filament concurrent with its synthesis of a poly P chain in a fully reversible reaction.

Total syntheses of (-)-kopsifoline D and (-)-deoxoapodine: divergent total synthesis via late-stage key strategic bond formation.

Project description:Divergent total syntheses of (-)-kopsifoline D and (-)-deoxoapodine are detailed from a common pentacyclic intermediate 15, enlisting the late-stage formation of two different key strategic bonds (C21-C3 and C21-O-C6) unique to their hexacyclic ring systems that are complementary to its prior use in the total syntheses of kopsinine (C21-C2 bond formation) and (+)-fendleridine (C21-O-C19 bond formation). The combined efforts represent the total syntheses of members of four classes of natural products from a common intermediate functionalized for late-stage formation of four different key strategic bonds uniquely embedded in each natural product core structure. Key to the first reported total synthesis of a kopsifoline that is detailed herein was the development of a transannular enamide alkylation for late-stage formation of the C21-C3 bond with direct introduction of the reactive indolenine C2 oxidation state from a penultimate C21 functionalized Aspidosperma-like pentacyclic intermediate. Central to the assemblage of the underlying Apidosperma skeleton is a powerful intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole that provided the functionalized pentacyclic ring system 15 in a single step in which the C3 methyl ester found in the natural products 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.

Synthesis and macrocyclization-induced emission enhancement of benzothiadiazole-based macrocycle.

Project description:We presented an effective and universal strategy for the improvement of luminophore's solid-state emission, i.e., macrocyclization-induced emission enhancement (MIEE), by linking luminophores through C(sp3) bridges to give a macrocycle. Benzothiadiazole-based macrocycle (BT-LC) has been synthesized by a one-step condensation of the monomer 4,7-bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT-M) with paraformaldehyde, catalyzed by Lewis acid. In comparison with the monomer, macrocycle BT-LC produces much more intense fluorescence in the solid state (ΦPL = 99%) and exhibits better device performance in the application of OLEDs. Single-crystal analysis and theoretical simulations reveal that the monomer can return to the ground state through a minimum energy crossing point (MECPS1/S0), resulting in the decrease of fluorescence efficiency. For the macrocycle, its inherent structural rigidity prohibits this non-radiative relaxation process and promotes the radiative relaxation, therefore emitting intense fluorescence. More significantly, MIEE strategy has good universality that several macrocycles with different luminophores also display emission improvement.
