Bioinspired Two-Phase Synthesis of Gibbosterol A.

ABSTRACT: The disecosteroid natural product gibbosterol A-which has a 14/5-bicyclic framework, a high oxidation state, and a twisted trans-9,11-epoxy motif-is the first water-soluble 5,10:8,9-disecosteroid. Herein, we report a bioinspired two-phase synthesis of this natural product in only 15 steps from inexpensive ergosterol. In the first (isomerase) phase, the core bicyclic framework is rapidly installed by the skeletal reorganization of ergosterol endoperoxide via a ruthenium-catalyzed dual C-C bond fragmentation. In the second (oxidase) phase, chemoselective, regioselective, and stereoselective redox transformations precisely introduce the requisite oxygenated functional groups. This work demonstrates that the ingenious two-phase synthesis logic that has been applied to terpenes is also a powerful strategy for steroid synthesis.

Two-Phase Synthesis of Taxol.

Project description:Taxol (a brand name for paclitaxel) is widely regarded as among the most famed natural isolates ever discovered, and has been the subject of innumerable studies in both basic and applied science. Its documented success as an anticancer agent, coupled with early concerns over supply, stimulated a furious worldwide effort from chemists to provide a solution for its preparation through total synthesis. Those pioneering studies proved the feasibility of retrosynthetically guided access to synthetic Taxol, albeit in minute quantities and with enormous effort. In practice, all medicinal chemistry efforts and eventual commercialization have relied upon natural (plant material) or biosynthetically derived (synthetic biology) supplies. Here we show how a complementary divergent synthetic approach that is holistically patterned off of biosynthetic machinery for terpene synthesis can be used to arrive at Taxol.

Two-phase synthesis of (-)-taxuyunnanine D.

Project description:The first successful effort to replicate the beginning of the Taxol oxidase phase in the laboratory is reported, culminating in the total synthesis of taxuyunnanine D, itself a natural product. Through a combination of computational modeling, reagent screening, and oxidation sequence analysis, the first three of eight C-H oxidations (at the allylic sites corresponding to C-5, C-10, and C-13) required to reach Taxol from taxadiene were accomplished. This work lays a foundation for an eventual total synthesis of Taxol capable of delivering not only the natural product but also analogs inaccessible via bioengineering.

Bioinspired Synthesis of (-)-PF-1018.

Project description:The combination of electrocyclizations and cycloadditions accounts for the formation of a range of fascinating natural products. Cascades consisting of 8π electrocyclizations followed by a 6π electrocyclization and a cycloaddition are relatively common. We now report the synthesis of the tetramic acid PF-1018 through an 8π electrocyclization, the product of which is immediately intercepted by a Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The success of this pericyclic cascade was critically dependent on the substitution pattern of the starting polyene and could be rationalized through DFT calculations. The completion of the synthesis required the instalment of a trisubstituted double bond by radical deoxygenation. An unexpected side product formed through 4-exo-trig radical cyclization could be recycled through an unprecedented triflation/fragmentation.

Bioinspired synthesis of pentacyclic onocerane triterpenoids.

Project description:The first chemical synthesis of pentacyclic onocerane triterpenoids has been achieved. A putative biomimetic tricyclization cascade is employed to forge a fused decalin-/oxepane ring system. The synthetic route proceeds to (+)-cupacinoxepin in seven steps and to (+)-onoceranoxide in eight steps in the longest linear sequence, when starting from geranyl chloride and (+)-sclareolide. The bioinspired epoxypolyene cyclization is supported by computational and enzymatic studies.

Bioinspired total synthesis of agelastatin A.

Project description:A one-two punch: two potentially biosynthetically relevant cyclizations of a keramadine analogue give agelastatin A. A diastereoselective C-ring formation, which proceeds through a 5-exo-trig cyclization or a Nazarov cyclization of a red-colored N-acyliminium intermediate, generates the three contiguous stereocenters of the cyclopentane core. A silica gel assisted cyclization of a nagelamide J analogue gives agelastatin A.

Bioinspired Total Synthesis of Pyritide A2 through Pyridine Ring Synthesis.

Project description:Pyritides belong to the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide class of natural products that were recently genome-predicted and are structurally defined by unique pyridine-containing macrocycles. Inspired by their biosynthesis, proceeding through peptide modification and cycloaddition to form the heterocyclic core, we report the chemical synthesis of pyritide A2 involving pyridine ring synthesis from an amino acid precursor through aza-Diels-Alder reaction. This strategy permitted the preparation of the decorated pyridine core with an appended amino acid residue in two steps from a commercially available arginine derivative and secured pyritide A2 in ten steps. Moreover, the synthetic logic enables efficient preparation of different pyridine subunits associated with pyritides, allowing rapid and convergent access to this new class of natural products and analogues thereof.

A bioinspired, one-step total synthesis of peshawaraquinone.

Project description:A concise synthesis of a stereochemically complex meroterpenoid, peshawaraquinone, via the unsymmetrical dimerization of its achiral precursor, dehydro-α-lapachone, is reported. Enabled by reversible oxa-6π-electrocyclizations of 2H-pyran intermediates, the base-catalyzed dimerization sets up an intramolecular (3 + 2) cycloaddition, with the formation of six stereocenters during the cascade. Combining the generation and in situ dimerization of dehydro-α-lapachone allows a one-step total synthesis of peshawaraquinone from lawsone and prenal.

Iron phosphate mediated magnetite synthesis: a bioinspired approach.

Project description:The biomineralization of intracellular magnetite in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) is an area of active investigation. Previous work has provided evidence that magnetite biomineralization begins with the formation of an amorphous phosphate-rich ferric hydroxide precursor phase followed by the eventual formation of magnetite within specialized vesicles (magnetosomes) through redox chemical reactions. Although important progress has been made in elucidating the different steps and possible precursor phases involved in the biomineralization process, many questions still remain. Here, we present a novel in vitro method to form magnetite directly from a mixed valence iron phosphate precursor, without the involvement of other known iron hydroxide precursors such as ferrihydrite. Our results corroborate the idea that phosphate containing phases likely play an iron storage role during magnetite biomineralization. Further, our results help elucidate the influence of phosphate ions on iron chemistry in groundwater and wastewater treatment.

Bioinspired Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Emeriones A-C.

Project description:We report asymmetric bioinspired total syntheses of the fungal metabolites emeriones A-C via stereoselective oxidations of two bicyclo[4.2.0]octadiene diastereomers. The central bicyclic scaffolds are prepared in an 8π/6π electrocyclization cascade of a stereodefined pentaene, which contains the fully assembled side chains of the emeriones. The anti-aldol side chain is made using a Paterson-aldol addition, and the epoxide of the dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane side chain via ring-closure onto an oxidized acetal. Our work has enabled the structural revision of emerione C, and resulted in the synthesis of a "missing" family member, which we call emerione D. DFT calculations identified two methyl groups that govern torquoselectivity in the 8π/6π cascade.

Bioinspired synthesis of hirsutellones A, B, and C.

Project description:The total synthesis of hirsutellones A (1), B (2), and C (3) has been achieved through a bioinspired late-stage sequence starting from advanced intermediate 6. The sequence proceeded via labile intermediate 17,1'-dehydrohirsutellone B (5) and delivered, in addition to the natural products (1-3), hirsutellone analogue 1',2',17-epi-hirsutellone C (1',2',17-epi-3).
