First total synthesis of concavine.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of the unusual alkaloid concavine, isolated from Clitocybe concava (Basidiomycetae), has been accomplished. The synthetic route features regio- and stereoselective manipulation of polycyclic imide intermediates via enolate substitution and Grignard addition, along with a key bridge-forming step involving a new method for sulfenylative radical cyclisation. The NMR data for synthetic concavine demonstrate that the original data reported for the natural product refer to the derived acetic acid salt, probably formed as an artefact of isolation or purification.

First total synthesis of hoshinoamide A.

Project description:Hoshinoamides A, B and C, linear lipopeptides, were isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Caldora penicillata, with potent antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum. Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of hoshinoamide A by the combination of liquid-phase and solid-phase peptide synthesis. Liquid-phase synthesis is to improve the coupling yield of ʟ-Val3 and N-Me-ᴅ-Phe2. Connecting other amino acids efficiency and convergence is achieved by solid-state synthesis. Our synthetic strategy could synthesize the target peptide in high yield with good purity.

The first total synthesis of (+/-)-ingenol.

Project description:The first total synthesis of (+/-)-ingenol has been achieved. The key features of the synthesis include the use of a highly diastereoselective Michael reaction to fix the C-11 methyl stereochemistry and the incorporation of the dimethylcyclopropane via diastereoselective carbene addition to the Delta13,14 olefin. The intramolecular dioxenone photoaddition-fragmentation sequence leads to the establishment of the critical C-8/C-10 trans intrabridgehead stereochemistry, a central challenge in the synthesis of ingenanes. The completion of the synthesis proceeds using the C-6alpha hydroxymethyl group as the sole handle for oxidation of seven contiguous carbon centers.

First Total Synthesis of Varioxiranol A.

Project description:The paper describes the first total synthesis of natural varioxiranol A by chiral pool approach and confirmation of its absolute configuration by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The target varioxiranol A and its 4-epimer were obtained after 10 steps from single and available chiral source 1,2-O-isopropylidene-d-glyceraldehyde in an overall yield of 10% and 6%, respectively. A synthetic strategy based on the Julia⁻Kocieński coupling reaction between aromatic sulfone and corresponding aldose derivative makes it possible to prepare other interesting polyketide derivatives (varioxiranols B-G, varioxirane, varioxiranediols).

First total synthesis of kipukasin A.

Project description:In this paper, a practical approach for the total synthesis of kipukasin A is presented with 22% overall yield by using tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-ribose as starting material. An improved iodine-promoted acetonide-forming reaction was developed to access 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose. For the first time, ortho-alkynylbenzoate was used as protecting group for the 5-hydoxy group. After subsequent Vorbrüggen glycosylation, the protecting group could be removed smoothly in the presence of 5 mol % Ph3PAuOTf in dichloromethane to provide kipukasin A in high yield and regioselectivity.

The first total synthesis of sporiolide A.

Project description:The first total synthesis of the natural cytotoxic agent sporiolide A has been accomplished from D-glucal in 16 steps with 6.1% overall yield. Carbohydrates were applied as the chiral templates to manipulate the absolute configuration during the synthesis. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)-promoted transformation of the cyclic enol-ether to lactone, followed by Yamaguchi esterification and intramolecular ring closure metathesis, greatly facilitates synthesis of the target compound.

First Total Synthesis of Tanzawaic Acid B.

Project description:The first total synthesis of (+)-tanzawaic acid B, a natural polyketide bearing a pentadienoic ester and octalin moiety, has been accomplished. The synthetic improvement from previous synthetic conditions facilitated our gram-scale synthesis of the chiral octalin that possesses seven stereogenic centers and that is the core skeleton of almost all of the tanzawaic acid family.

First- and second-generation total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C.

Project description:More than 20,000 people suffer annually from ciguatera seafood poisoning in subtropical and tropical regions. The extremely low content of the causative neurotoxins, designated as ciguatoxins, in fish has hampered isolation, detailed biological studies, and preparation of anti-ciguatoxin antibodies for detecting these toxins. Furthermore, the large (3 nm in length) and complex molecular structure of ciguatoxins has impeded chemists from completing their total synthesis. In this article, the full details of studies leading to the total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C are provided. The key elements of the first-generation approach include O,O-acetal formation from the right and left wing fragments, conversion from O,O-acetal to O,S-acetal, a radical reaction to cyclize the G ring, a ring-closing metathesis reaction to close the F ring, and final removal of the 2-naphtylmethyl protective groups. Subsequent studies provided a second-generation total synthesis, which is more concise and results in a higher yield. Second-generation synthesis was accomplished by using a direct method of constructing the key intermediate O,S-acetal from alpha-chlorosulfide and a secondary alcohol. These syntheses ensure a practical supply of ciguatoxin for biological applications.

First total synthesis of versicotide A, B and C.

Project description:The syntheses of versicotides A-C, natural products containing anthranilic acid and NMe-Ala, were achieved by solid phase peptide synthesis on 2-chlorotrityl resin followed by solution phase macrocyclization. Using an oxyma additive, the difficult coupling reactions to the deactivated aromatic amine of o-aminobenzoic acid, were performed in high yield, avoiding anthranilic rearrangements or side reactions.

First total synthesis of (+)-Vedelianin, a potent antiproliferative agent.

Project description:The total synthesis of (+)-vedelianin has been accomplished in 18 steps from vanillin. Preparation of a key intermediate in nonracemic form through a Shi epoxidation has allowed determination of the absolute stereochemistry of the natural product as the (2S, 3R, 4aR, 9aR)-isomer.

First Total Synthesis of 5'-O-α-d-Glucopyranosyl Tubercidin.

Project description:The first total synthesis of 5'-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl tubercidin was successfully developed. It is a structurally unique disaccharide 7-deazapurine nucleoside exhibiting fungicidal activity, and was isolated from blue-green algae. The total synthesis was accomplished in eight steps with 27% overall yield from commercially available 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-d-ribose. The key step involves stereoselective α-O-glycosylation of the corresponding 7-bromo-6-chloro-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-β-d-tubercidin with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate. All spectra are in accordance with the reported data for natural 5'-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl tubercidin. Meanwhile, 5'-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl tubercidin was also prepared using the same strategy.
