The synthetic route provided 1 in 27% yield in nine steps (seven steps in the longest linear sequence) and was performed on kilogram scale. The synthesis began with the preparation of the coumarin core via an efficient von Pechmann condensation. The triazole fragment was obtained via a regioselective copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition between a chiral alkyne and the coumarin azide.,10.1021/op200299p,2012-01-05,0.806384636427652 Organic Process Research & Development,Development and a Practical Synthesis of the JAK2 Inhibitor LY2784544,"The route selection and process research and development of a practical synthesis for JAK2 inhibitor LY2784544 is described. The first-generation synthesis route, similar to that used in discovery for derivatization of a benzylic amine moiety, was 14 overall steps and possessed several steps that required extensive development for large-scale production. Route selection considerations led to a modified synthesis that utilized a novel vanadium-catalyzed carbon–carbon bond-forming arylation reaction for incorporation of the key benzylic morpholine moiety. A protecting group used to mask an amino pyrazole unit was modified from PMB to tert -butyl, resulting in a dramatic reduction in the overall length of the route. These two major changes resulted in an eight-step synthesis, which was six steps shorter than the first-generation synthesis. In the pilot plant, the new synthesis was scaled to produce >100 kg of LY2784544 in high yield and purity under GMP conditions. The overall development including the vanadium-catalyzed C–C bond-forming methodology, a ketone reductive deoxygenation, and a palladium-catalyzed amination is described.",10.1021/op200229j,2011-10-22,0.8061839414129941 Organic Process Research & Development,Practical and Efficient Synthesis of 2-Thio-imidazole Derivative—ZY12201: A Potent TGR5 Agonist,"Early scalable process development for the synthesis of ZY12201, a novel TGR5 receptor agonist, as a potential clinical candidate is described.

Part 1. Route Scouting and Early Process Development of a Challenging Cyclopentylpyrimidine Intermediate,"Herein, the route scouting and early process development of a key cyclopentylpyrimidine ketone intermediate toward the synthesis of Akt inhibitor Ipatasertib are described. Initial supplies of the intermediate were prepared through a method that commenced with the natural product ( R )-(+)-pulegone and relied on the early construction of a methyl-substituted cyclopentyl ring system. The first process chemistry route, detailed herein, enabled the synthesis of the ketone on a hundred-gram scale, but it was not feasible for the requisite production of multikilogram quantities of this compound and necessitated the exploration of alternative strategies. Several new synthetic approaches were investigated towards the preparation of the cyclopentylpyrimidine ketone, in either racemic or chiral form, which resulted in the discovery of a more practical route that hinged on the initial preparation of a highly substituted dihydroxypyrimidine compound. The cyclopentane ring in the target was then constructed through a key carbonylative esterification and subsequent tandem Dieckmann cyclization–decarboxylation sequence that was demonstrated in a racemic synthesis. This proof-of-concept was later developed into an asymmetric synthesis of the cyclopentylpyrimidine ketone, which will be described in a subsequent paper, along with the synthesis of Ipatasertib.",10.1021/op500271w,2014-10-26,0.8024123194625618 Tetrahedron,An improved route for the synthesis of Rolloamide B,,10.1016/j.tetlet.2016.07.044,2016-07-16,0.8006930651100604 Tetrahedron,An improved route to isoquinolines; synthesis of the alkaloids escholamine and takatonine.,,10.1016/s0040-4039(01)94429-6,1972-01-01,0.8006930651100604 Tetrahedron,"New synthetic route to 2,2,6,6-tetraethylpiperidin-4-one: A key-intermediate towards tetraethyl nitroxides",,10.1016/j.tetlet.2019.151207,2019-09-26,0.8006816426279578 Organic Process Research & Development,Development of a Practical and Scalable Synthesis of a Potent CRTH2 Antagonist,"This contribution describes the process research and development of a practical and scalable synthetic method towards compound 1, which has a potent CRTH2 antagonistic activity.

A key feature of the scale-up route is a concise construction of the complete pyrazole framework in a single step by reacting an aryl hydrazine with an elaborated acetylenic ketone. This route was then further refined incorporating efficient enantioselective strategies to obtain the desired S-enantiomer in high optical purity. The first strategy involved an efficient, recyclable, kinetic resolution by enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the racemic ester. In the second-generation route, the requisite stereochemistry at the chiral center was generated at an early stage in the synthesis involving a remarkable diastereoselective addition of inexpensive (S)-(-)-ethyl lactate to an alkylaryl ketene.

Route 2, which was developed to address many of the limitations of Route 1, was used to manufacture pilot quantities of API. Key features of Routes 1 and 2 are the generation of a chiral ketone intermediate from an ( S )-pyroglutamic acid derivative and catalytic reduction to introduce the second stereogenic center into the API with high stereoselectivity. Route 2 was developed to address the purification burden attributable to “benzyne-derived” impurities generated in Route 1. The improved process eliminated the possibility of the formation of these impurities, substantially improved the stereoselectivity in the reduction of the alternate cyclic imine intermediate 22, and gave a pilot plant process with significantly enhanced yield and throughput.",10.1021/acs.oprd.0c00382,2020-11-24,0.7511482968791587 Synthesis,A Practical Synthesis of a Potent and Selective Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) Inhibitor,"A practical synthesis of a potent, selective, and orally efficacious diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) inhibitor, is described. This synthesis is suitable for multi-kilogram scale with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.

The synthetic route to AMG 837 involved the convergent synthesis and coupling of two key fragments, ( S )-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hex-4-ynoic acid ( 1 ) and 3-(bromomethyl)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl ( 2 ). The chiral β-alkynyl acid 1 was prepared in 35% overall yield via classical resolution of the corresponding racemic acid (±)-1 . An efficient and scalable synthesis of (±)-1 was achieved via a telescoped sequence of reactions including the conjugate alkynylation of an in situ protected Meldrum’s acid derived acceptor prepared from 3 . The biaryl bromide 2 was prepared in 86% yield via a 2-step Suzuki−Miyaura coupling−bromination sequence. Chemoselective phenol alkylation mediated by tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide allowed direct coupling of 1 and 2 to afford AMG 837. Due to the poor physiochemical stability of the free acid form of the drug substance, a sodium salt form was selected for early development, and a more stable, crystalline hemicalcium salt dihydrate form was subsequently developed. Overall, the original 12-step synthesis of AMG 837 was replaced by a robust 9-step route affording the target in 25% yield.",10.1021/op1003055,2011-03-27,0.7505184836561032 Organic Process Research & Development,An Improved Process for the Synthesis of 5-Bromo-3-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-1H-indole: A Key Intermediate in the Synthesis of Naratriptan Hydrochloride,"An improved process has been developed for the synthesis of 5-bromo-3-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-1 H -indole, a key intermediate of naratriptan hydrochloride, which is used as a drug for migraine.

The target molecule is a pro-drug, and its synthesis is complicated by the presence of labile functionality. The Medicinal Chemistry synthesis required trityl mercaptan to introduce a thiol group stereospecifically. An important objective of a new route was avoidance of such an atom-inefficient protecting group, and this was achieved by use of a bicyclic thiolactone. Reduction of the thiolactone with DIBAL afforded a masked aldehyde which participated cleanly in the key reductive amination step without loss of stereochemical integrity. The reported procedure for making the thiolactone was found to give inconsistent results. Development work resulted in a telescoped process that was operated successfully and reproducibly on the large scale. Removal of an N-Boc protecting group in the final step of the drug synthesis required careful choice of conditions to avoid cleaving other ester groups in the molecule. An impurity formed in the deprotection step was identified as the S- tert- butyl analogue arising from attack of the tert -butyl cation on the methionine residue; its identity was confirmed by independent synthesis.",10.1021/op700218j,2008-02-16,0.7500225802466457 Tetrahedron,A novel synthesis of a key intermediate for diltiazem,,10.1016/s0040-4039(01)01762-2,2001-11-01,0.7495312330728344 Organic Process Research & Development,Synthesis of the NK1 Receptor Antagonist GW597599.

The original Medicinal Chemistry route had multiple flaws, making it unsuitable for further development. A second approach was explored which was more amenable to optimization. The key steps were an intramolecular Lewis acid-promoted cyclization, a dibromination/elimination sequence to provide a vinyl bromide, and subsequent Suzuki coupling with 3-pyridineboronic acid. The overall yield of ∼3–16% over nine steps was offset by the low cost of goods and ease of synthesis. A major drawback was the need for simulated moving bed chiral separation on the penultimate intermediate to afford the subsequently desired single enantiomer version.

Synthesis of the chromophore aglycon (2) was targeted initially. Chemistry previously developed for the synthesis of a neocarzinostatin core model (4) failed in the requisite 1,3-transposition of an allylic silyl ether when applied toward the preparation of 2 with use of the more highly oxygenated substrates 27 and 54. An alternative synthetic plan was therefore developed, based upon a proposed reduction of the epoxy alcohol 58 to form the aglycon 2, a transformation that was achieved in a novel manner, using a combination of the reagents triphenylphosphine, iodine, and imidazole. The successful route to 1 and 2 began with the convergent coupling of the epoxydiyne 15, obtained in 9 steps (43% overall yield) from D-glyceraldehyde acetonide, and the cyclopentenone (+)-14, prepared in one step (75-85% yield) from the prostaglandin intermediate (+)-16, affording the alcohol 22 in 80% yield and with > or =20:1 diastereoselectivity. The alcohol 22 was then converted into the epoxy alcohol 58 in 17 steps with an average yield of 92% and an overall yield of 22%. Key features of this sequence include the diastereoselective Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohol 81 (98% yield); intramolecular acetylide addition within the epoxy aldehyde 82, using Masamune's lithium diphenyltetramethyldisilazide base (85% yield); selective esterification of the diol 84 with the naphthoic acid 13 followed by selective cleavage of the chloroacetate protective group in situ to furnish the naphthoic acid ester 85 in 80% yield; and elimination of the tertiary hydroxyl group within intermediate 88 using the Martin sulfurane reagent (79% yield). Reductive transposition of the product epoxy alcohol (58) then formed neocarzinostatin chromophore aglycon (2, 71% yield). Studies directed toward the glycosylation of 2 focused initially on the preparation of the N-methylamino --> hydroxyl replacement analogue 3, an alpha-D-fucose derivative of neocarzinostatin chromophore, formed in 42% yield by a two-step Schmidt glycosylation-deprotection sequence. For the synthesis of 1, an extensive search for a suitable 2'-N-methylfucosamine glycosyl donor led to the discovery that the reaction of 2 with the trichloroacetimidate 108, containing a free N-methylamino group, formed the alpha-glycoside 114 selectively in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. Subsequent deprotection of 114 under mildly acidic conditions then furnished the labile chromophore (1). The synthetic route was readily modified for the preparation of singly and doubly (3)H- and (14)C-labeled 1, compounds unavailable by other means, for studies of the mechanism of action of neocarzinostatin in vivo.",10.1021/ja012487x,2002-04-19,0.7144737369077282 Journal of Organic Chemistry,"An Efficient Route for the Preparation of a 21-Fluoro Progestin-16α,17α-Dioxolane, a High-Affinity Ligand for PET Imaging of the Progesterone Receptor","Two different synthetic routes were explored for the synthesis of fluoro furanyl norprogesterone (FFNP) 1, a high-affinity ligand for the progesterone receptor (PgR) that is being developed as a PET imaging agent for PgR-positive breast cancer. Both approaches proceed through a key intermediate, triol 5. The first approach, starting from keto-ketal 2, employed a dioxenyl group as a synthon for installing a corticosteroid side chain in keto-alcohol 4. The second approach, starting from propargylic acetate 12b, involved the application of a two-step method, a Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative rearrangement followed by a base-catalyzed acetate rearrangement of the intermediate unsaturated acetate 13b, to generate the requisite corticosteroid side chain in keto-acetate 14b. This intermediate was further elaborated to the final product 1 via efficient dihydroxylation with potassium permangnate, furan acetalization with scandium triflate, and mesylation and fluorination reactions. The palladium-catalyzed route is considerably more efficient than the dioxene approach for the synthesis of key intermediate triol 5, and the scandium triflate-catalyzed acetalization, in particular, led to a considerable improvement in the overall yield of the endo furan acetal alcohol 16a.

A much higher yielding deoxyfluorination was enabled by SF4 and HF. Furthermore, the chiral SFC was replaced by an efficient classical resolution at a much earlier stage of the synthesis, taking advantage of the basicity of the pyridine moiety before oxidation to the pyridine N-oxide.

Three different routes towards this goal were attempted. Route I started with 1,5‐dihydroxynaphthalene ( 10 ), and the pentaalkoxy‐substituted naphthaldehyde 17 was obtained in a straightforward sequence in moderate overall yield. Route II employed an aryne cycloaddition to generate the functionalized naphthalene skeleton. This sequence smoothly provided the bromonaphthalene derivative 19 , which served as a very suitable precursor of aldehyde 24 , boronic acid 25 , and finally the unsymmetrically substituted hexaalkoxynaphthalene derivative 18 . Unfortunately, though, the regioselective formylation of 18 to provide the desired aldehyde 8a was not possible, this key compound being obtained only in low yield. Whereas an attempted Claisen rearrangement of O ‐allylated derivative 30 furnished the wrong regioisomer 33 , the ortho ‐Fries rearrangement of the easily available carbamate 34 smoothly afforded the expected amide 35 , which turned out to be essentially inert and could not be converted into the corresponding naphthaldeyde 8b . We therefore developed Route III, involving an alternative aryne cycloaddition and a subsequent regioselective ring‐opening of the tricyclic adduct 41 . This sequence enabled us to efficiently prepare acetal 44 , which was transformed into the desired highly substituted and regioselectively protected naphthaldehyde derivative 8b . The synthesis of this key compound could be achieved in a 12‐step sequence in an overall yield of 9 %. Our planned rubromycin synthesis was successfully verified by the conversion of 8b into the protected α‐hydroxy enone 7b by addition of lithiated methoxyallene followed by hydrolysis and subsequent silylation of intermediate 7a .

The structural class of dibenzosuberone-based p38 inhibitors, exemplified by the promising candidate skepinone-L, was already successfully validated in several in vivo models of inflammatory as well as oncologic indications. The increasing demand of key intermediates and final compounds caused by the ongoing development of this inhibitor class urged the conception of an optimized route for the preparation of the core dibenzosuberone scaffold in multigram quantities. Rerouting of the initial discovery route resulted in an almost 4-fold increase of overall yield to 46%, the elimination of chromatographic purification, and the substitution of two critical reaction steps, which hindered a feasible scale-up.

Initially, an efficient synthetic route to the optically active 4-methoxytryptophan ethyl ester 20 on a multigram scale was developed via a Mori-Ban-Hegedus indole synthesis. The ethyl ester of D-4-methoxytryptophan 20 was obtained with a radical-mediated regioselective bromination of indoline 12 serving as a key step. Alternatively, the key 4-methoxytryptophan intermediate 22 could be synthesized by the Larock heteroannulation of aryl iodide 10b with the internal alkyne 21a.

A precursor for the formation of the benzazocine ring was assembled effectively by a modification of the Sonogashira coupling of an aryl triflate with a chiral acetylene unit derived from tartaric acid and the subsequent novel ketone formation via conjugate addition of pyrrolidine to the o-nitrophenylacetylene derivative. The first-generation approach to the key pentacyclic intermediate of our racemic total synthesis utilizes an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction of an omega-hydroxynitrobenzenesulfonamide to form the benzazocine ring and a stepwise sequence to construct the hydroxymethyl group at the C(7) position. The key intermediate could be synthesized in optically pure form via formation of the characteristic hydroxylamine hemiacetal and a stereoselective epoxide formation. In the second-generation approach, the N-hydroxybenzazocine ring could be constructed directly from an omega-formylnitrobenzene derivative by intramolecular reductive hydroxylamination. The crucial stereoselective hydroxymethylation and the formation of the hydroxylamine hemiacetal could be performed efficiently by a one-pot sequence. After leading to the pentacyclic key intermediate, the total synthesis of (+)-FR900482 was accomplished by a modification of our protocol established in the racemic total synthesis. Stereochemical issues involved in the hydroxymethylation at the C(7) position and formation of the hydroxylamine hemiacetal are also discussed in detail.",10.1021/jo049862z,2004-03-20,0.6945532188040838 Journal of the American Chemical Society,Total Synthesis of (−)-Laulimalide,"(-)-Laulimalide (1), a structurally novel macrolide isolated in trace amounts from marine sponges, promotes abnormal tubulin polymerization and apoptosis in vitro, with a similar mode of action to that of Taxol(R), but with potentially less susceptibility to multidrug resistance.

The initial research route was suffering from a long reaction sequence to the functionalized 7‐aza‐indole core followed by a poorly selective N (1)‐alkylation with the benzyl side chain. These limitations were overcome by introducing the side chain early by reductive amination between the functionalized aldehyde and 2‐amino‐3‐bromopyridine. The Sonogashira coupling with prop‐2‐yn‐1‐ol introduces the 3 missing carbon atoms to build the 7‐aza‐indole core and sets the stage for the innovative Johnson‐Claisen key step. The reaction of the advanced propargylic alcohol derivative with trimethyl orthoacetate led to a reactive allene intermediate which spontaneously and selectively cyclizes to the 7‐aza‐indole QAW039‐methyl ester.

Among the three synthetic routes (C–E) developed herein, route E is the most efficient one with only six chemical steps from commercially available estrone, and an overall yield of 13% leading to PBRM with a high-HPLC-grade purity (99.7%) after recrystallization. Important improvements have been achieved in this sequence from previously reported routes (A and B). Notably, we used a palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to rapidly install the requested C3 chain on estrone. Also, catalytic hydrogenation of the C16-enone was shortened by half using Pearlman’s catalyst. Finally, we used a selective bromination through deoxygenation of alcohol at the last step of the sequence to provide PBRM without dehydration of its carboxamide functionality, a persistent problem observed in other routes. Crystals of PBRM were also obtained from recrystallization in acetonitrile and submitted to X-ray analysis, which confirmed the PBRM structure.

The development of a simple, robust process capable of making multikilogram amounts of the required intermediate is described. Performing the amination step at 125 °C instead of 80 °C and optimising the hydrolysis conditions led to an increase in overall yield from 44% to about 70% as well as reducing the reaction time from days to hours. The chromone ring was initially constructed by reaction of 2-bromo-4-fluorophenol with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate followed by cyclisation.

Herein, we report an efficient and highly regioselective synthesis of MMV693183. This novel synthetic method highlights a three-step route with an overall yield of 46% from readily available starting materials. The key to the success lies in (1) utilizing the subtle difference of the two amino groups in the starting material ( S )-propane-1,2-diamine dihydrochloride without amino protection and (2) identifying the L -(+)-tartaric acid as the counter acid for the organic salt formation, yielding the desired regioisomer up to 100:0.

Aiming to avoid a problematic benzyl bromide intermediate encountered in the medicinal chemistry synthesis, we report a proof-of-concept convergent route featuring a key intramolecular Diels–Alder aromatization sequence. Critical to the success of this approach was the identification of t BuOK-mediated aromatization conditions, reliant upon an electron-withdrawing sulfone moiety installed at an early stage. More conventional protic acid dehydration/aromatization conditions were unsuccessful, and using the Lewis acid BF 3 ·Et 2 O gave an unexpected sulfone rearrangement product.

The first generation focuses on a cyanation reaction followed by alkaline hydrolysis to introduce the benzoic acid group, replacing the hazardous nucleophilic carboxylation mediated by n -BuLi in the reported manufacturing route. Furthermore, the use of LiAlH 4 for the carboxylic acid reduction is substituted with a milder acid anhydride reduction enabled by NaBH 4 . Overall, the first-generation route demonstrates an 11.6% increase in yield over 8 steps, effectively addressing concerns related to scale-up effects and safety-critical operations. In the second generation, a two-step synthesis involving nickel-catalyzed Kumada–Corriu coupling and Blanc chloromethylation is devised to produce benzyl chloride 8-Cl, starting from the readily available and cost-effective material 1-halo-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene 9 . The second-generation route is successfully demonstrated at large scales ranging from hundreds to kilo grams, resulting in a remarkable 32.5% yield increase and approximately 65% reduction in process mass intensity for the synthesis of intermediate 8-Cl .",10.1021/acs.oprd.3c00170,2023-07-21,0.6894175887849339 Organic Process Research & Development,"Efficient and Scalable Diastereoselective Synthesis of ((2R,7aS)-2-fluorotetrahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-7a(5H)-yl)methanol Hydrochloride","An efficient large-scale synthesis of 2a ·HCl, a key fragment to several KRAS inhibitors, is described.

In this work, we have optimized a linear synthesis constituting a sequential, strategic protection, oxidation, reduction, and bromination. Importantly, we biased the reactivity of an organozinc intermediate toward an ionic pathway by inclusion of salt additives. Computational insights and mechanistic studies highlighting the role of relative configuration and the reactivity of these protected sugars are the key toward the success of this efficient and scalable route. The efficiency of this eight-step linear synthesis was demonstrated on multigram scale, furnishing key intermediate 4 in 32% overall yield.",10.1021/acs.oprd.2c00146,2022-08-05,0.6878803569658162 Journal of Organic Chemistry,A Scalable Synthesis of the Difluoromethyl-allo-threonyl Hydroxamate-Based LpxC Inhibitor LPC-058,"The difluoromethyl-allo-threonyl hydroxamate-based compound LPC-058 is a potent inhibitor of UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) in Gram-negative bacteria.

Short Syntheses of Teucladiol, Isoteucladiol, Poitediol, and Dactylol and an Attempted Synthesis of Caryophyllene","The development of a strategy consisting of allylsilane ring-closing metathesis and subsequent S(E)' electrophilic desilylation (allylsilane RCM/S(E)') to construct exo-methylidenecycloalkanes is described. Its utility is documented in short syntheses of teucladiol and poitediol. A key transformation in the synthesis of teucladiol is an aldol addition that establishes three stereochemical relationships in one step with ≥10:1 diastereoselectivity and provides a fascinating example of double stereodifferentiation/kinetic resolution with racemic reaction partners in the context of natural product synthesis. The synthesis of (±)-teucladiol required five steps from cyclopentenone and proceeded in 28% overall yield; adaptation of this route to an enantioselective synthesis of (-)-teucladiol enabled the determination of the absolute configuration of this terpene natural product. The use of fluoride-mediated conditions in the final desilylation step preserves the location of the alkene, delivering the natural product (±)-isoteucladiol (five steps and 21% yield from cyclopentenone). The synthesis of poitediol showcases the power of RCM for constructing eight-membered rings and features a highly diastereoselective epoxidation/fluoride-mediated fragmentation sequence for installing the exo-methylidene group with an adjacent hydroxyl-bearing stereocenter. The synthesis of (±)-poitediol required seven steps and proceeded in 18% overall yield. Again, fluoride-mediated desilylation of a late-stage intermediate (with retention of double-bond location) delivered the natural product (±)-dactylol (seven steps and 24% yield). Efforts directed toward incorporating the RCM/S(E)' sequence into a synthesis of caryophyllene are also disclosed.

Addressing the goal of a scalable, economically attractive, and technically feasible process for the manufacture of this drug, a novel alternative synthetic approach toward ( S)-4-cyano-1-aminoindane as a chiral key intermediate for ozanimod has been developed. The total synthesis of this intermediate is based on the utilization of naphthalene as a readily accessible, economically attractive, and thus favorable petrochemical starting material. At first, naphthalene is transformed into 4-carboxy-indanone within a four-step process by means of an initial Birch reduction, followed by an isomerization of the C═C double bond, oxidative C═C cleavage, and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation. The transformation of the 4-carboxy-indanone into ( S)-4-cyano-1-aminoindane then represents the key step for introducing the chirality and the desired absolute S configuration. When evaluating complementary biocatalytic approaches based on the use of a lipase and transaminase, respectively, the combination of a chemical reductive amination of the 4-carboxyindanone followed by a subsequent lipase-catalyzed resolution turned out to be the most efficient route, leading to the desired key intermediate ( S)-4-cyano-1-aminoindane in satisfactory yield and with excellent enantiomeric excess of 99%.",10.1021/acs.joc.8b03290,2019-04-12,0.6860895271768571 Organic Process Research & Development,Toward the Development of a Manufacturing Process for the Insecticide Tyclopyrazoflor.

A key step of these syntheses is the coupling of a chiral bicyclic C6-C14 ethynyl building block with a chiral C15-C21 omega-side chain amide building block with formation of the C14-C15 bond of the target molecules. A highly stereoselective reduction of the thereby obtained C6-C21 intermediate carrying a carbonyl group at C15 of the side chain was accomplished by the chiral oxazaborolidine method. The chiral phosphono acetate method was used for the highly stereoselective attachment of the alpha-side chain to the bicyclic C6-C21 intermediate carrying a carbonyl group at C6. Asymmetric syntheses of the bicyclic C6-C14 ethynyl building blocks were carried out starting from achiral bicyclic C6-C12 ketones by using the chiral lithium amide method. In the course of these syntheses, a new method for the introduction of an ethynyl group at the alpha-position of the carbonyl group of a ketone with formation of the corresponding homopropargylic alcohol was devised. Its key steps are an aldol reaction of the corresponding silyl enol ether with chloral and the elimination of a trichlorocarbinol derivative with formation of the ethynyl group. In addition, a new aldehyde to terminal alkyne transformation has been realized. Its key steps are the conversion of an aldehyde to the corresponding 1-alkenyl dimethylaminosulfoxonium salt and the elimination of the latter with a strong base. Two basically different routes have been followed for the synthesis of the enantiomerically pure C15-C21 omega-side chain amide building block.

The starting compound for the preparation of the hArg moiety 7, the predominant part of segment A, was N α -(benzyloxycarbonyl)- N ω, N ω ‘-bis( tert -butyloxycarbonyl)-l-arginine methyl ester ( 15, Scheme 2), which was converted into the aldehyde 16 and subsequently homologated using [tris(methylthio)methyl]lithium as a carboxylic acid anion equivalent. Coupling with properly protected Pro and d -Phe derivatives gave smoothly the desired Pro-hArg- d -Phe tripeptide derivative 24 . The key feature of segment B, i.e., the l -tyrosine-derived α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acid 4, was prepared by a Wadsworth−Emmons olefination of the aldehyde 29 (Scheme 3) derived from N -( tert -butyloxycarbonyl), O - tert -butyl- l -tyrosine methyl ester ( 28 ).

Union of this intermediate with the C1-C28 fragment and further elaboration furnished the natural product. Completion of the C29-C51 subunit began with the aldol coupling of the boron enolate derived from methyl ketone 8 and aldehyde 9. Acid-catalyzed deprotection/cyclization of the resulting diastereomeric mixture of addition products was conducted in a single operation to afford the E-ring of altohyrtin C. The diastereomer obtained through cyclization of the unwanted aldol product was subjected to an oxidation/reduction sequence to rectify the C35 stereocenter. The C45-C48 segment of the eventual triene side chain was introduced by addition of a functionalized Grignard reagent derived from (R)-glycidol to a C44 aldehyde. Palladium-mediated deoxygenation of the resulting allylic alcohol was followed by adjustment of protecting groups to provide reactivity suitable for the later stages of the synthesis. The diene functionality comprising the remainder of the C44-C51 side chain was constructed by addition of an allylzinc reagent to the unmasked C48 aldehyde and subsequent dehydration of the resulting alcohol. Completion of the synthesis of the C29-C51 subunit was achieved through conversion of the protected C29 alcohol into a primary iodide. The synthesis of the C29-C51 iodide required 44 steps with a longest linear sequence of 33 steps. From commercially available tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal, the overall yield was 6.8%, and 2 g of the iodide was prepared.

The original route to the key sulfonamide relied on the textbook conversion of the corresponding thiophenol to the intermediate sulfonyl chloride followed by its quenching with aqueous ammonia. However, this route suffered from a wide range of issues such as a low overall yield (29%), challenging aqueous workups and isolations, and the formation of a genotoxic benzyl chloride impurity. Therefore, we developed a conceptually novel production route for 5-methyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide. The new process relied on selectively oxidizing the thiophenol to the intermediate sulfinate salt followed by an electrophilic amination of the nucleophilic sulfinate sulfur-atom with hydroxylamine- O -sulfonic acid (HOSA). This oxidation/electrophilic amination sequence worked as a “one-pot” procedure by simply adding HOSA to the reaction mixture after complete oxidation of the thiophenol with 70% aq. t -BuOOH.

After facile Boc deprotection, cyclization of the resultant o -iodoaniline gave the corresponding 5-chloro-4-fluoro-indole-2-carboxylic acid which was subsequently esterified to provide the target indole ester in 56% overall yield. Identification of 6-chloro-7-iodo-2(3 H )-benzoxazolone as a significant side product in the iodination step led to the development of conditions which eliminated its formation in subsequent batches.

The key step in the assembly of disaccharide glycosyl trichloroacetimidate 52 was coupling L-rhamnoside 47 with L-rhamnosyl trichloroacetimidate 43. Attempts to couple lactone disaccharide 32 with disaccharide 52 were unsuccessful. Using an alternate plan for assembly of the tetrasaccharide, reaction of disaccharide glycosyl trichloroacetimidate 58 with disaccharide 37 gave tetrasaccharide 59. Diester lactone 63 was generated by selective macrolactonization of tetrasaccharide acid triol 60, again using the Yonemitsu protocol, followed by addition of the chiral side chain acid to the reaction vessel. Synthetic tricolorin A (1) was obtained by deprotection of 63. Starting from fucose, glucose, rhamnose, and (S)-1-octyn-3-ol, the synthesis required 39 steps overall.

It was found that changing the synthetic sequence, namely, instead of 7a → 8 → 9, the methylmagnesium bromide could be added first to the mesylate 7b, 7b → 11 followed by azide ion displacement 11 → 9 . This modification proved advantageous from the viewpoint of cost, use of methanesulfonyl chloride rather than trifluoromethylsulfonyl chloride, ease of operation, and yield. Methyl DGJ isopropylidene ( 5 ) is an important azasugar precursor because it can undergo N-alkyl substitution via reductive amination and be derivatized at C 2 via the secondary hydroxyl group.

Total Syntheses of Bleomycin Demethyl A2, Bleomycin A2, and Decarbamoyl Bleomycin Demethyl A2","The total syntheses of bleomycin A 2 ( 1 ) by two routes are described. The final step in the synthesis of bleomycin A 2 involves methylation of bleomycin demethyl A 2 ( 2 ). This bleomycin derivative is of interest mechanistically, and can also provide access to other bleomycins via its known chemical conversion to bleomycinic acid. Accordingly, the synthetic strategy presented represents a particularly versatile approach for the elaboration of a wide variety of BLM congeners. Bleomycin was constructed from five key intermediates, the syntheses of which are described. 1,6-Di- O -acetyl-3,4-di- O -benzyl-2- O -[2,4,6-tri- O -acetyl-3- O- ( N -acetylcarbamoyl)-α- d -mannopyranosyl]-β- l -gulopyranose ( 3 ) was converted quantitatively to its disaccharide chloride ( 4 ), the latter of which was condensed with N α, N im -bis( t -Boc)-( S )- erythro -β-hydroxyhistidine ( 7 ) to provide α- O -glycosidated product 16 . The subsequent couplings with benzyl valerate 8, threonylbithiazole 9, and N α -t- Boc-pyrimidoblamic acid ( 10 ) afforded access to bleomycin demethyl A 2 ( 2 ) and decarbamoyl bleomycin demethyl A 2 ( 26 ). Although it was obtained as a byproduct of the synthesis of BLM, the synthesis of decarbamoyl bleomycin demethyl A 2 nonetheless constitutes the first report of synthetic access to this BLM congener that is of particular importance from a mechanistic perspective. This BLM can be used to resolve the issue of the participation of the carbamoyl group as a metal ligand in metallobleomycins. Also reported is a new route to bleomycin demethyl A 2 that employed an unprotected carbamoyl group throughout the synthesis. In conjunction with the use of the uncharged methylthiopropylamide C-substituent, the latter strategy permitted improved functional group manipulation and thereby afforded intermediates that could be purified with greater facility. Because the synthesis of bleomycin is limited by the efficiency of elaboration of the carbohydrate moiety, a study was carried out to define improved methods for the preparation of this constituent of BLM. Three new routes were explored, and a route involving the intermediacy of disaccharide activated as a glycosyl bromide was found to be particularly efficient and convenient. Also of importance was the finding that activation of carbohydrate intermediates as their glycosyl trichloroacetimidates permitted the requisite couplings to be carried out conveniently and in good yields. Synthetic BLM demethyl A 2 was shown to have the same potency as a naturally derived sample in a plasmid DNA relaxation assay. The sequence selectivity of DNA cleavage by synthetic and authentic Fe(II)·BLMs was also shown to be the same.

The presence of two stereocenters, the intermediacy of highly polar or fluorinated heterocyclic building blocks, and the extremely low solubility of the API were just three of the factors that contributed to this challenge. Given the high time pressure on the project, a racemic route was developed with priority in less than 12 months. The key to success was the synthesis of racemic N -Boc-3-methyl 4-aminopiperidine-3-carboxylate ( cis: trans 2:1) and its isolation in high chemical purity as the crystalline TFA salt. After amide coupling with 5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid, the 3-position of the piperidine ring was fully epimerized to the more stable trans -isomer by using NaOMe. At this stage, the trans enantiomers were separated by liquid chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. The desired 3 S,4 S -enantiomer was recovered in excellent yield (48%, compared with theoretical 50%) and purity (e.r. 99.8:0.2). After a final sequence of saponification, amide coupling, Boc deprotection and reductive amination with cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde, the API was isolated as a white solid with high purity.

The key to success was the stereoselective reduction of a chiral enamine derived from inexpensive ( S )-α-methylbenzylamine. The reduction showed good selectivity for the desired cis -3 R,4 S -isomer, and the pure diastereomer (d.r. >98:2) was isolated as its TFA salt. After removal of the ethylbenzyl group and amide coupling with 5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid, the enantiopure cis -3 R,4 S -amide was isolated. The subsequent epimerization of the 3-position adjacent to the methyl ester turned out to be a formidable challenge, as the standard conditions with NaOMe led to the formation of a thermodynamic mixture of the cis and trans isomers (final ratio of ∼1:4). Therefore, a new procedure was developed in which the methyl ester was transesterified in situ to the isopropyl ester with KOiPr in iPrOH, followed by epimerization to the trans -iPr-ester (final cis: trans ratio 5:95). After saponification with aqueous KOH, the desired trans -3 S,4 S -acid was isolated in overall 76% yield. After amide coupling and Boc deprotection, the final reductive amination with cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde was also vastly improved. A novel NaBH(OAc) 3 solution in DMSO was used for the reaction and cleanly provided the API with high purity after simple aqueous quench without the need for any solvent switches or aqueous workups.

Coupling reaction of the optically pure A-ring hydroxy aldehyde with the aromatic C-ring fragment followed by Lewis acid mediated eight-membered B-ring cyclization gave the desired ABC endo-tricarbocycle. The C-ring moiety of this product was reduced under Birch conditions to the cyclohexadiene derivative, which was oxygenated by singlet oxygen from the convex β-face to give the C4β,C7β-diol stereoselectively. For introduction of the C19-methyl, the cyclopropyl ketone was prepared via cyclopropanation of the C-ring allylic alcohol or conjugate addition of a cyano group to the C-ring enone. Reductive cleavage of the cyclopropane ring followed by isomerization of the resulting enol to the corresponding ketone gave the crucial synthetic intermediate containing the C19-methyl group.

The synthetic strategy is based on a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to give the cyclopenta[d]isoxazoline framework; subsequent condensation of this 4-oxocyclopenta[d]isoxazoline with 4-methoxybenzylamine gives a 4-imino derivative, which undergoes a highly stereoselective nucleophilic attack by the cyanide ion. This gives a 4-(methoxybenzylamino)-4-cyano derivative, which is oxidized to the corresponding 4-amino-4-cyano derivative, which itself is transformed into the target 4-carboxylic acid. This amino acid is obtained in 27% overall yield in five steps, whereas the previously described synthetic strategy gave the target derivative in only 0.5% overall yield over 15 steps.",10.1055/s-2007-983750,2007-07-03,0.6570605025680135 Organic Process Research & Development,An Improved Synthesis of Nomegestrol Acetate,"Oral contraceptives (OCs) are synthetic steroids, or progestins, which are structurally related to testosterone or to progesterone.

While many advances toward the synthesis of lomaiviticin A have been reported, including synthesis of the aglycon, a route to the bis(cyclohexenone) core bearing any of the carbohydrate residues has not been disclosed. Here we describe a short route to a core structure of lomaiviticin A bearing two α-l-oleandrose residues. The synthetic route features a Stille coupling to form the conjoining carbon-carbon bond of the target and a double reductive transposition to establish the correct stereochemistry at this bond. Two synthetic routes were developed to elaborate the reductive transposition product to the bis(cyclohexenone) target. The more efficient pathway features an interrupted Barton vinyl iodide synthesis followed by oxidative elimination of iodide to efficiently establish the enone functionalities in the target. The bis(cyclohexenone) product may find use in a synthesis of lomaiviticin A itself.",10.1039/d0sc02770g,2020-01-01,0.6567723034261648 Synthesis,A Short and Convenient Synthesis of Enantiopure cis- and trans-4-Hydroxypipecolic Acid,"The synthesis of (2S,4R)- and (2R,4R)-4-hydroxypipecolic acid has been realized from commercial ethyl (R)-4-cyano-3-hydroxybutanoate through palladium-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of a 4-hydroxy-substituted lactam-derived vinyl phosphate followed by the stereocontrolled reduction of the enamine double bond.

This reaction, which establishes seven asymmetric centers in a single operation, is feasible only by virtue of the high diastereofacial and exo selectivity of dienophile 12 . The C(9)-trimethylsilyl steric directing group of 19 also plays a key role by controlling the stereochemical course of the IMDA reaction leading to the bottom half octahydronaphthalene unit. Hexaenoate 19 was prepared in 32% overall yield by a 10-step sequence starting from the known acetylenic ketone 33 . Key steps include the asymmetric reduction of 33 using Alpine Borane (up to 94% ee), the Suzuki cross coupling of α-iodo vinylsilane 20 with vinylboronic acid 21, and the Horner-type olefination of aldehyde 41 with dienylic phosphonate 22 . The key tandem inter-intramolecular Diels−Alder reaction was performed by heating a mixture of 19 and ( R )- 12 (2 equiv) in toluene at 120 °C, which provided the targeted double cycloadduct 44 in 40−45% yield, along with 19% of other cycloadduct isomers and 25−20% of the IMDA adduct 24 with an ( E, E, E )-C(16)−C(21) triene. The latter compound was recycled by treatment with additional ( R )- 12 in trichloroethylene at 125 °C. The yield of 44 from hexaenoate 19 was 55−59% after one recycle of ( E, E, E )- 24 . Elaboration of 44 to (−)-chlorothricolide was accomplished by a 9-step sequence in 26% overall yield, key steps of which included the construction of the spirotetronate subunit of 51 via the Dieckmann cyclization of 50, deprotection of the two allyl units with Pd(0) catalysis, and the BOP-Cl-mediated macrolactonization of seco acid 52 . The vinyl trimethylsilane substituent was removed in the final step of the synthesis by treatment with EtSH and BF 3 ·Et 2 O.

The “α chain” in a derivative of the (–)‐“Corey lactone” was elongated first, followed by the attachment of a novel, enantiomerically pure “ω chain” synthon. This ensured the absence of the undesired (15 S )‐ 1 diastereomer in the synthesized prostaglandin. The crystalline nature of the novel sulfone 4 facilitated its purification. A variation of the new synthesis of latanoprost is described, where the laboratory‐scale synthesis was further adapted to a hundred‐gram scale. In the course of the present synthesis, a new prostaglandin sulfone intermediate, 21 , which may find application in the synthesis of diverse prostaglandin analogs, was introduced.

Current synthetic routes for preparing sutezolid start with thiomorpholine as a key structural building block; unfortunately, this material was identified as a major cost driver for the API, which will limit the potential uptake of this treatment in lower income regions. In this work, an alternative, lower-cost synthetic strategy to a known p -phenylenediamine intermediate to sutezolid has been demonstrated. The key step in this process is the construction of the thiomorpholine ring by a nucleophilic sulfide ring closure on an activated bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-functionalized aniline, which was in turn made by reaction of 3,4-difluoronitrobenzene and diethanolamine. This sulfide treatment has the added benefit of affecting a Zinin reduction of the nitro functional group, which alleviates the need for the transition metal reduction used in previous routes. After optimization, this key reaction was able to provide the desired aniline intermediate in yields between 65 and 80% and, after a standard charcoal treatment, purity of >94%. Initial demonstrations of the full 3-step strategy were successfully conducted on scales up to 100 g with overall yields of 53–68%.

In a novel intramolecular Prins reaction with an equimolar amount of p ‐toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate, the ideally preformed precursor 4 cyclized to (1 R *,2 R *,3 S *,7 R *,8 S *)‐2‐hydroxy‐4,8‐dimethyltricyclo[5.3.1.0 3,8 ]undec‐4‐en‐11‐one ( 13 ), comprising the complete carbon framework of the target compound 3 . A Barton–McCombie deoxygenation of the corresponding O ‐phenoxythiocarbonyl derivative, followed by oxidation of the lithium enolate of the resulting ketone 14 with the molybdenum peroxide reagent MoO 5 –pyridine–DMPU, and the face‐selective hydrogenation of the obtained(1 R *,3 S *,7 S *,8 S *)‐3‐hydroxy‐6,8‐dimethyltricyclo[5.3.1.0 3,8 ]undec‐5‐en‐2‐one ( 15 ) concluded the synthesis of the target molecule 3 , which was accompanied by its odorless C‐6 epimer epi ‐ 3 in the ratio 84:16. Both the target structure 3 and its unsaturated precursor 15 possessed pronounced patchouli odors, albeit slightly weaker in threshold than (–)‐patchoulol ( 1 ). This proved the superposition analysis of the templates 1 and 2 to be correct and provided novel insight into the structural requirements of patchouli odorants. As 3 was an intermediate in a total synthesis of rac ‐ 1 , the synthesis also constitutes a new formal total synthesis of racemic patchoulol ( rac ‐ 1 ). (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A mixture of four stereoisomers of 3‐methyl‐A‐ nor ‐androstane (4 % overall yield) was prepared by ionic hydrogenation of the olefin after A‐ring recyclization in three steps. 17‐Methyl‐18‐ nor ‐androstane was synthesized in four steps as a mixture of isomers (58 % overall yield) from dihydrotestosterone with a Wagner–Meerwein shift of the 13β‐methyl group to C‐17 as the key step. Pure 17β‐ and 17α‐methyl‐18‐ nor ‐13α‐androstane (4 and 2 % overall yield, respectively) were obtained in three additional steps after α‐oxidation of the Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement product and subsequent reduction. The synthesis of 18‐ nor ‐D‐ homo ‐13β‐androstane (12 % yield over seven steps from dihydrotestosterone) involved oxidative cleavage of the C–C double bond in the Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement product from the previous synthesis and subsequent recyclization of the D ring followed by reduction. The relative configurations of all final products were confirmed by X‐ray crystallography. A comparison of the synthetic standards with the saturated hydrocarbon fraction of an Oman crude oil by gas chromatography (GC–MS) coinjection on three different GC columns and comparison of mass spectra revealed that unknown compound 19C is 18‐ nor ‐D‐ homo ‐13β,14α‐androstane, whereas the isomeric 3‐methyl‐A‐ nor ‐androstanes and 17‐methyl‐18‐ nor ‐androstanes elute close to 19A and 19B, respectively, but do not match the unknowns.",10.1002/ejoc.201300788,2013-07-26,0.6504957146573499 Organic Letters,General Approach for the Synthesis of Sarpagine/Ajmaline Indole Alkaloids.

They deliver these targets in optically pure form in 14 or 13 steps, respectively, in the longest linear sequence; five of these steps are metal-catalyzed and four others are metal-mediated. The route to either 1 or 2-4 diverges from the common building block 22, which is accessible in 7 steps from 2[5H]furanone by recourse to a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition reaction controlled by the carvone-derived diene ligand 35 and a ring-closing alkene metathesis (RCM) catalyzed by the ruthenium indenylidene complex 17 as the key operations. Alternatively, 22 can be made in 10 steps from furfural via a diastereoselective three-component coupling process. The further elaboration of 22 into hybridalactone as the structurally most complex target with seven contiguous chiral centers was based upon a sequence of cyclopropanation followed by a vanadium-catalyzed epoxidation, both of which were directed by the same free hydroxy group at C15. The macrocyclic scaffold was annulated to the headgroup by means of a ring-closing alkyne metathesis reaction (RCAM). In response to the unusually high propensity of the oxirane of the targeted oxylipins for ring opening, this transformation had to be performed with complexes of the type [(Ar(3)SiO)(4)Mo≡CPh][K·OEt(2)] (43), which represent a new generation of exceedingly tolerant yet remarkably efficient catalysts.

Intermediate lactam 4 could be efficiently converted to N-Boc derivative 12. Introduction of a two-carbon fragment into lactam 12 which eventually becomes the C-7',8' syn diol of the ""eastern"" ring was then achieved by C-acylation of the corresponding enolate with methoxyacetyl chloride followed by a highly stereoselective ketone reduction with Zn(BH4)2 to afford alcohol 16. Intermediate 16 has the incorrect C-7' relative stereochemistry for sarain A, but this problem was conveniently remedied by inverting the C-7' center via an intramolecular Ohfune-type cyclization of the silyl carbamate derived from Boc mesylate 27 to produce the key cyclic carbamate 28. It was then possible to convert acetal 28 to allylsilane 32 followed by cyclization to the alkaloid tricyclic core 33 via an allylsilane/N-sulfonyliminium ion cyclization. Formation of the ""western"" macrocyclic ring has been successfully addressed using functional group handles at C-3' and N-1' on the tricyclic core via a ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM) strategy with the second-generation Grubbs ruthenium catalyst to produce intermediate macrolactam 47.

One involved the synthesis of fused 5,7-hydrazulenones (see structure 20). Another issue had to do with the mechanistic intermediates in reductive cyclizations (see 17 to 18 and 19). The total synthesis required a mastery of an intramolecular Knoevenagel condensation of a beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone (see compound 41). Actually, cyclization was best accomplished when the terminal double bond of 41 was first converted to an epoxide. Further issues related to the stereochemistry at C5 and, rather surprisingly, the propensity for beta-face acetoxylation at C13. Crystallographic verification of the assigned beta-stereochemistry at C13 is provided. Finally, a route to optically active material is provided (see compound 20).

A distinct structural feature is the chiral all- cis 1,2,4-triaminocyclohexane (TACH) core, which was assembled through consecutive stereocontrolled heterogeneous hydrogenations: efficient Pt-catalyzed reduction of a β-enaminoester, directed by ( S )-α-methylbenzylamine as a low-cost chiral template, and reductive amination of a 3,4- cis -disubstituted cyclohexanone over sulfided Pt/C introduced a tert- amine, setting the third stereocenter in the all- cis cyclohexane core. The heterogeneous catalysts were recycled. Ester hydrolysis produced a γ-amino acid, isolated as its Na salt. A challenging Curtius reaction to introduce the remaining C–N bond at C-2 was strongly influenced by the presence of the basic tert- amine, providing a stereoelectronically highly activated isocyanate.

Each bacteriochlorin was prepared in five steps from an α-halopyrrole and a 2,2-dimethylpent-4-ynoic acid. The first three steps follow Jacobi’s synthesis of dihydrodipyrrins: Pd-mediated coupling to form a lactone–pyrrole, Petasis reagent treatment for methenylation, and Paal–Knorr type ring closure to form the 1,2,2-trimethyl-substituted dihydrodipyrrin. Subsequent steps entail conversion of the 1-methyl group to the 1-(dimethoxymethyl) unit and acid-catalyzed self-condensation of the resulting dihydrodipyrrin–acetal. The essential differences between the N-S and E-W routes lie in (1) the location of the gem -dimethyl group (with respect to the 1-acetal unit) at the 2- versus 3-position in the dihydrodipyrrin–acetals, respectively, (2) the method of synthesis of the dihydrodipyrrins, and consequently (3) access to diverse substituted bacteriochlorins including those with substituents at the meso-positions. Ten new bacteriochlorins bearing 0–6 total aryl, alkyl, and carboethoxy substituents at the β-pyrrole and/or meso-positions have been prepared, with yields of macrocycle formation of up to 39%.

An intramolecular S N Ar-based cycloetherification reaction was employed as the key ring-closure step for construction of the illusive 14-membered m,p -cyclophane. Treatment of methyl N -[ N -( tert -butyloxycarbonyl)- l -(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenylalanyl]- l -4-fluoro-3-nitrophenylalaninate ((9 S,12 S )- 10 ) with potassium carbonate in DMSO at room temperature provided a mixture of two atropdiastereomers 20a and 20b in 75% yield that were transformed into cycloisodityrosine 6 in good overall yield. Furthermore, a size-selective ring-forming process was established for methyl N -[ N -( tert -butyloxycarbonyl)- l -(3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanyl)]- l -4-fluoro-3-nitrophenylalaninate ((9 S,12 S )- 11 ). Thus, cyclization of 11 (K 2 CO 3, DMSO, rt), followed by in situ methylation, gave exclusively the 14-membered m,p- cyclphane 20a and 20b without competitive formation of the alternative 15-membered p,p -cyclophane.

The apio moiety of the target nucleosides 5a-d was stereoselectively introduced by treating lactol 10 with 37% formaldehyde in the presence of potassium carbonate. The carbasugar moiety of neplanocin A was successively built by exposing diene 12 on a Grubbs catalyst in methylene chloride. The final nucleosides 5a-d were synthesized from the condensation of the glycosyl donor 14 with nucleic bases under the standard Mitsunobu conditions. Similarly, apio-aristeromycin 6 and (N)-apio-methanocarbaadenosine 7 were derived from the common intermediate 13 using catalytic hydrogenation and Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation as key steps. All of the final nucleosides 5a-d, 6, and 7 did not show significant inhibitory activity against S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH) up to 100 muM, maybe due to the absence of the secondary hydroxyl group at the C3'-position, which should be oxidized by cofactor-bound NAD(+). However, apio-neplanocin A (5a) showed potent and highly selective binding affinity (K(i) = 628 +/- 69 nM) at the A(3) adenosine receptor without any binding affinity at the A(1) and A(2A) adenosine receptors.

As the desired benzothiazole was only available in small quantities for a high price (∼1000 USD/g), a robust and scalable route needed to be rapidly developed. The key to success was the use of a 2-iodophenyl N -acetamide precursor to construct the 2-methylbenzo[ d ]thiazole core via a Pd-catalyzed Migita coupling followed by subsequent intramolecular condensation of the intermediate thiophenol onto the N -acetyl group. To avoid the use of malodorous thiols on scale, 2-ethylhexyl 3-mercaptopropionate was used as a nonsmelly, inexpensive thiol surrogate.

The synthetic strategy is based on the biosynthetic hypothesis of Floss which involves the azepino ring ring closure of 10-hydroxy($\gamma$,$\gamma$-dimethylallyl)tryptophan. This ring enclosure involves an intramolecular, nucleophilic attack of an amine on a protein-activated hydroxyl group. The starting material for the synthesis is indole-4-carboxaldehyde. An alternate proposal for the synthesis involving a proton-driven rearrangement of a 10-membered macrocyclic amine to the azepino was not able to be realized owing to the inaccessibility of the requisite substrate necessary for implementation of this strategy. Alternate approaches for the synthesis of this substrate are considered and preliminary synthetic work is presented. The most efficient route to the azepino system employs a proton-catalyzed ring closure and produces the simple dehydration product methyl-4-(3-methyl-1,3-butadien-1-yl)-3-(2-amino-2-carbomethoxy-3-indolyl)propionate in addition to the desired amination product.

The preparative solution described for these complex problems in natural product synthesis departs significantly from biomimetic polyene cyclization chemistry, which has been leveraged to address related tetracyclic triterpenoid targets. In particular, a diastereoselective Friedel–Crafts-type cyclization was employed to establish a tetracycle bearing a stereodefined quaternary center at C9 (steroid numbering) that provided access to intermediates of relevance for introducing the C10 and C14 quaternary centers by sequential stereospecific 1,2-alkyl shifts (C9 → C10 and C15 → C14). Finally, the stereodefined C17 side chain was introduced in a single step by late-stage stereoselective conjugate addition to an intermediate possessing a D-ring enone.

Mechanistic Studies Enable a Scale-Independent Friedel–Crafts Acylation,"During the development of a Friedel–Crafts acylation for the preparation of a key pyrrole intermediate in the synthesis of the HIV attachment inhibitor, BMS-663068-03, a significant scale dependence was found. A precipitous drop in yield was observed for the acylation of a protected pyrrole with chloroacetyl chloride upon scale-up. Spectroscopic studies to mitigate this scale dependence led to the identification of the complex effect of dissolved hydrogen chloride (HCl) as well as the poor reactivity of the acylating agent, chloroacetyl chloride. At this point, the counterintuitive choice to switch to a longer, but scale-independent, three-step route was made. By changing the acylating agent to acetyl chloride, a more robust process was obtained. Rapid development of a high yielding α-chlorination then provided the common α-chloroketone intermediate required to generate the desired α-amide ketopyrrole. The improved yield and scalability of this three-step process supported the addition of one linear step to the route, and it was demonstrated successfully at scale.",10.1021/acs.oprd.7b00115,2017-08-09,0.6435112521612018 Tetrahedron,Synthetic route for 14C-labeling of a bioactive lipid a analogue,,10.1016/0040-4039(95)01863-d,1995-11-01,0.6435046641709233 Angewandte Chemie International Edition,"The Enantioselective Synthesis of Eburnamonine, Eucophylline, and 16′‐epi‐Leucophyllidine","A synthetic approach to the heterodimeric bisindole alkaloid leucophyllidine is disclosed herein.

The pyran subunit was constructed using a stereoselective allylation of a β-alkoxy aldehyde with 1,3-asymmetric induction and a second stereoselective allylation to prepare the C-glycosidic type of linkage.

The approach to (+)-geissoschizine was designed to address the dual problems of stereocontrolled formation of the E-ethylidene moiety and the correct relative configuration at C(3) and C(15). Key steps in the synthesis involve a vinylogous Mannich reaction to prepare the carboline 22, which has the absolute stereochemistry at C(3) corresponding to that in 1 and 5, and an intramolecular Michael addition that leads to the tetracyclic corynantheane derivative 24, which possesses the correct stereochemical relationship between C(3) and C(15). Compound 24 was then transformed into 27, the pivotal intermediate in the syntheses of 1 and 5, by a sequence that allowed the stereospecific introduction of the E-ethylidene moiety. Selective reduction of the lactam in 27 followed by removal of the C(5) carboxyl group by radical decarbonylation gave deformylgeissoschizine (2) that was converted into (+)-geissoschizine (1) by formylation. The common intermediate 27 was then converted via a straightforward sequence of reactions into the alpha-amino nitrile 39. The derived silyl enol ether 40 underwent ionization upon exposure to BF(3).OEt(2) to give the intermediate iminium ion 41 that then cyclized in a biomimetically inspired intramolecular Mannich reaction to deliver (+)-N(a)-methylvellosimine (5).

This alkaloid was available in enantiospecific fashion in seven reaction vessels in 27% overall yield from d-(+)-trytophan methyl ester (14) via a combination of the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction, Dieckmann cyclization, and a stereocontrolled intramolecular enolate-driven palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction. A new process for this stereocontrolled intramolecular cross-coupling has been developed via a copper-mediated process. The initial results of this investigation indicated that an enolate-driven palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction can be accomplished by a copper-mediated process which is less expensive and much easier to work up. An enantiospecific total synthesis of (+)-polyneuridine aldehyde (6), which has been proposed as an important biogenetic intermediate in the biosynthesis of quebrachidine (2), was then accomplished in an overall yield of 14.1% in 13 reaction vessels from d-(+)-tryptophan methyl ester (14). Aldehyde 13 was protected as the N(a)-Boc aldehyde 32 and then converted into the prochiral C(16)-quaternary diol 12 via the practical Tollens' reaction and deprotection.

The latter, prepared previously in relatively low yield, is unusual because it coexists in nearly equal proportions with its [1,7]-sigmatropic shifted, previtamin D 3 tautomer 4b . A more efficient synthesis of this potent inhibitor was developed by applying Trost's enyne Pd(0) cyclization strategy. Besides succeeding in improving the synthesis of 3b / 4b, extension of this approach to the synthesis of other related A-ring oxacycles for structure−function studies of the 1-OHase system has been successful. This venture has resulted not only in oxacycles 4a, 3b / 4b, and 3c but also their 9,11-didehydro counterparts 5a, 5b, and 5c . The analog 5b was anticipated to be of particular interest because it represents an analog of the potent inhibitor 3b, but the presence of the 9,11-double bond renders it incapable of undergoing a [1,7]-sigmatropic shift to a form resembling 4b .

Often, such compounds are not available in quantity from natural sources, rendering analogue synthesis and drug development efforts extremely resource-intensive and time-consuming. In this arena, the quest for ever more step-economical and efficient methods and strategies, useful and important goals in their own right, takes on added importance, and the most useful syntheses will combine high levels of step-economy with efficiency and scalability. The nonaromatic polyketide natural product zincophorin methyl ester has attracted significant attention from synthetic chemists due primarily to the historically synthetically challenging C(8)-C(12) all-anti stereopentad. While great progress has been made in the development of new methodologies to more directly address this problem and as a result in the development of more highly step-economical syntheses, a synthesis that combines high levels of step economy with high levels of efficiency and scalability has remained elusive. To address this problem, we have devised a new synthesis of zincophorin methyl ester that proceeds in just nine steps in the longest linear sequence and proceeds in 10% overall yield. Additionally, the scalability and practicability of the route have been demonstrated by performing all of the steps on a meaningful scale. This synthesis thus represents by a significant margin the most step-economical, efficient, and practicable synthesis of this stereochemically complex natural product reported to date, and is well suited to facilitate the synthesis of analogues and medicinal chemistry development efforts in a time- and resource-efficient manner.",10.1021/jacs.7b01590,2017-03-07,0.6371028579380656 Journal of the American Chemical Society,A Diosphenol-Based Strategy for the Total Synthesis of (−)-Terpestacin,"A novel diosphenol-based strategy has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of (−)-terpestacin by multiple usage of the α-diketone functionality, first in the “Pd AAA−Claisen rearrangement” protocol, and second by the employment of its oxidized form, the ene-1,2-dione, as an excellent Michael acceptor.

In this study, a facile and convergent synthetic strategy for GM 3 was developed, and the preparation of three building blocks started from the most readily available compounds sialic acid, lactose, and L ‐serine. Ceramide aglycon 9 was constructed from L ‐serine in 13 steps with 6 % overall yield, and lactosyl trichloroacetimidate 14 was synthesized from lactose in 7 steps with 25 % yield. With novel N ‐acetyl‐5‐ N ,4‐ O ‐oxazolidinone protected p ‐toluenethiosialoside 15 as donor, which was developed by our group, the sialylation of benzoyl‐protected lactosyl ceramide diol 23 was successfully accomplished in 54 % yield.

PGE(,2) was chosen as the target molecule since synthetic procedures have already been developed for transformation of PGE(,2) into most of the other prostaglandins as well as the very important prostacyclin (PGI(,2)). The synthesis features a general triply-convergent step in which the basic prostaglandin skeleton is formed via 1,4-addition of a chiral vinyllithium reagent to a chiral aminovinyl sulfone followed by subsequent in situ alkylation of the resulting sulfone-stabilized anion. Desulfonylation followed by oxidation produces epoxy-prostaglandins which result from a novel epoxidation reaction of an intermediate (alpha),(beta)-unsaturated iminium ion. The synthesis of PGE(,2) from the key intermediate makes use of an efficient peracetic acid oxidation of a secondary amine to a (beta)-siloxy oxime which is in turn desulfonylated by a unique 1,4-elimination of phenylsulfinic acid to generate an intermediate vinyl nitroso species which undergoes stereospecific 1,4-reduction by sodium borohydride to yield the oxime of PGE(,2). This oxime is hydrolyzed using paraformaldehyde and boron trifluoride catalyst to give PGE(,2) in high yield. The synthesis also features an efficient enantioconvergent process for the synthesis of the requisite chiral aminovinyl sulfone acceptor. This process utilizes stereospecific S(,N)2' reactions and a stereospecific sulfide-directed epoxidation sequence.

To establish an efficient synthetic route of 1, a solvent-dependent diastereodivergent Joullié-Ugi three-component reaction (JU-3CR) was used to construct trans-Pro(3-OH) in a small number of steps. Two strategies were investigated toward the total synthesis. In the first synthetic strategy, the key steps were the trans-selective JU-3CR and a macrolactonization at the final stage of the synthesis. The JU-3CR using alkyl isocyanides in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol provided the trans products, and the coupling of the fragments to prepare the macrocyclization precursor proceeded smoothly. However, attempts toward the macrolactonization did not provide the desired product. Then, the second strategy that included esterification in an initial stage was investigated. Methods for constructing trans-Pro(3-OH) were examined using a convertible isocyanide, which could be converted to a carboxylic acid required for the following amidation. Ester bond formation was achieved through an intermolecular coupling using a hydroxyl-Asp derivative and the corresponding alcohol, and the amidation afforded a linear depsipeptide.

However, only recently have guaiane-type sesquiterpenes extracted from Curcuma phaeocaulis been submitted to biological testing, and their enhanced bioactivity was highlighted. Among these compounds, phaeocaulisin A has shown remarkable anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity, which appears to be tied to the unique bridged acetal moiety embedded in its tetracyclic framework. Prompted by the promising biological profile of phaeocaulisin A and by the absence of a synthetic route for its provision, we have implemented the first enantioselective total synthesis of phaeocaulisin A in 17 steps with 2% overall yield. Our route design builds on the identification of an enantioenriched lactone intermediate, tailored with both a ketone moiety and a conjugated alkene system. Taking advantage of the umpolung carbonyl-olefin coupling reactivity enabled by the archetypal single-electron transfer (SET) reductant samarium diiodide (SmI 2 ), the lactone intermediate was submitted to two sequential SmI 2 -mediated cyclizations to stereoselectively construct the polycyclic core of the natural product. Crucially, by exploiting the innate inner-sphere nature of carbonyl reduction using SmI 2, we have used a steric blocking strategy to render sites SET-unreceptive and thus achieve chemoselective reduction in a complex substrate.

A Solution to the Problem of Chirality Merger during Elaboration of the Entire Carbotricyclic Framework,"A practical route for elaboration of the [5.9.5] tricyclic nucleus of jatrophatrione (1) is reported. The two key steps involve an oxyanionic Cope rearrangement and a Grob fragmentation. The building blocks required to reach 44 are the bicyclo[3.3.0]octanone 29 and the cyclopentadienyl bromide 35. The former was obtained in 12 steps from methylcyclopentadiene. The route to the latter began with 4,4-dimethylcyclopentenone. The charge-accelerated [3,3]-sigmatropic isomerization within 44 proceeds via a chairlike transition state to deliver, after enolate methylation, a highly strained product carrying a trans double bond in a medium-sized ring, one consequence of which is rapid transannular ring closure via an ene pathway. Acid hydrolysis of this enol ether and conversion to hydroxy mesylate 51 was followed by exposure to base. This sequence resulted in ring opening to provide the strategic advanced intermediate 52.

Several strategies for preparation of each of the naphthalene and tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) portions were developed. Initial attempts to use benzyne plus furan cycloaddition reactions were thwarted by the unfavorable sense of the regiochemical outcome. An interesting annulation reaction of benzynes derived from 2,4-dibromophenol derivatives formed the core of the shortest naphthalene synthesis. An alternative annulation initiated by the addition of a benzylic sulfone anion to methyl crotonate led to an efficient naphthol synthesis amenable to large scale.

Suzuki coupling of the boronic acid derived from the naphthalene moiety with a THIQ-iodide was the most generally effective method for forming the hindered biaryl bond.

The successful route to these oxylipins isolated from various brown algae involves five transition-metal-catalyzed transformations in the longest linear sequence of 13 steps. The first chiral center was set by a rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition of an alkenyl boronate to the commercial butenolide 11, which was controlled by Carreira's carvone-derived diene ligand 21.

Total syntheses of phorboxazole A and analogues have been developed that rely upon the convergent coupling of three fragments via biomimetically inspired de novo oxazole formation. First, the macrolide-containing domain of phorboxazole A was assembled from C3-C17 and C18-C30 building blocks via formation of the C16-C18 oxazole, followed by macrolide ring closure involving an intramolecular Still-Genarri olefination at C2-C3. Alternatively, a ring-closing metathesis process was optimized to deliver the natural product's (2Z)-acrylate with remarkable geometrical selectivity. The C31-C46 side-chain domain was then appended to the macrolide by a second serine amide-derived oxazole assembly. Minimal deprotection then afforded phorboxazole A. This generally effective strategy was then dramatically abbreviated by employing a total synthesis approach wherein both of the natural product's oxazole moieties were installed simultaneously. A key bis-amide precursor to the bis-oxazole was formed in a chemoselective one-pot, bis-amidation sequence without the use of amino or carboxyl protecting groups. Thereafter, both oxazoles were formed from the key C18 and C31 bis-N-(1-hydroxyalkan-2-yl)amide in a simultaneous fashion, involving oxidation-cyclodehydrations. This synthetic strategy provides a total synthesis of phorboxazole A in 18% yield over nine steps from C3-C17 and C18-C30 synthetic fragments.

Concise Enantiospecific Total Syntheses of (+)-Croomine,"Because the vinylogous Mannich reaction of substituted furans with iminium ions is a useful construction in alkaloid synthesis, it is important to know what effects substituents on the two reacting partners have upon the stereoselectivity of the reaction. Toward this end, the additions of the methylated furans 9a − h to the iminium ion generated in situ from the ethoxy carbamate 10 were examined. Generally, mixtures (3−24:1) of the threo and erythro adducts 11a − h and 12a − h were obtained in 50−96% combined yields, with the threo isomers being the major products. Two extraordinarily concise asymmetric syntheses of (+)-croomine ( 1 ) have been completed using a novel strategy, highlighted by two vinylogous Mannich reactions as key constructions. The first such reaction involved the addition of 5-(4-bromobut-1-yl)-3-methyl-2-(triisopropylsilyloxy)furan to the N -acyliminium salt derived from the l -pyroglutamic acid derivative 17 to give the adduct [5( S ),2‘( S ),5‘( S )]-5-(4‘ ‘-bromobut-1‘ ‘yl)-5-[ N -( tert -butoxycarbonyl)-2‘-(methoxycarbonyl)-pyrrolidin-5‘-yl]-3-methyl-2(5 H )-furanone ( 18 ) as the major product.

Org.Chem.2012, 77, 3820).The key features of this synthesis include a cost-effective synthesis of the isoindoline subunit and efficient construction of the 20membered macrocyclic core of Vaniprevir (MK-7009) utilizing ring-closing metathesis technology.A practical and volume efficient ring-closing metathesis protocol was achieved via simultaneous slow addition of the ruthenium catalyst (0.2 mol % loading) and the diene substrate at a concentration of 0.13 M. ■ REGIOSELECTIVITY IN THE IODINATION OF ANILINES WITH NISThe electrophilic iodination of anilines has a long history, featuring a myriad of reagents.Typically, para-substitution dominates, and attempts to change this selectivity have been based primarily on N-directed ortho-metalation strategies.However, orthoiodination can be quite competitive, even in the case of aniline itself, raising the question whether regiocontrol might be attained by simple alteration of reaction conditions.Studies toward this",10.1021/op300157d,2012-07-03,0.633618283097457 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Enantioselective Allyltitanations and Metathesis Reactions.

A Formal Synthesis of Alternaric Acid,"Alternaric acid, a nanomolar fungal germination inhibitor, is typified by a 1,4-diene, consisting of a terminal methylene and an ( E )-1,2-disubstituted alkene. A new strategy for the synthesis of natural products containing such functionality stems from the development of a ruthenium-catalyzed addition of terminal alkenes with terminal alkynes. The alkyne substrate, 4-pentynoic acid, is commercially available or can be prepared in two steps by alkylation of tert -butyl acetate. The alkene substrate is prepared from commercially available ( S )-2-methyl-1-butanol. This synthesis involves formation of a geometically defined trisubstituted alkene by involving Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling and asymmetric dihydroxylation. The ruthenium-catalyzed coupling proceeds best in the absence of alcohol protecting groups to maximize regioselectivity. The examples of this addition illustrated herein help elucidate some of the important factors controlling regioselectivity. They also illustrate the excellent chemoselectivity.

A [3+2] cycloaddition of an enantiopure azomethine ylide followed by a diastereoselective crystallization was employed to prepare the benzopyranopyrrolidine in high diastereomeric and enantiomeric purity. Conditions for reduction of an O-aryl lactone susceptible to epimerization were developed, and cyclization of the alcohol/phenol to the ether was accomplished in high yield.

The important pentasaccharide 2, a precursor for the synthesis of fondaparinux sodium, was synthesized on a 10 g scale in 14 collective steps with 3.5% overall yield from well-functionalized monosaccharide building blocks. The strategy involved a convergent [3 + 2] coupling approach, with excellent stereoselectivity in every step of glycosylation from the monosaccharide building blocks. Efficient routes to the syntheses of these fully functionalized building blocks were developed, minimizing oligosaccharide stage functional-group modifications. The syntheses of all building blocks avoided rigorous reaction conditions and the use of expensive reagents. In addition, common intermediates and a series of one-pot reactions were employed to enhance synthetic efficiency, improving the yield considerably. In the monosaccharide-to-oligosaccharide assembly reactions, cheaper activators (e.g., NIS/TfOH, TESOTf, and TfOH) were used to facilitate highly efficient glycosylations. Furthermore, crystallization of several monosaccharide and oligosaccharide intermediates significantly simplified purification procedures, which would be greatly beneficial to the scalable synthesis of fondaparinux sodium.",10.1021/acs.joc.5b02468,2015-12-10,0.6325000710678107 Journal of Organic Chemistry,"Regioselective 6-Endo Cyclizations of 2-Indolylacyl Radicals:  Total Synthesis of the Pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole Alkaloid Guatambuine","A regioselective 6-endo reductive cyclization of 2-indolylacyl radicals constitutes the key step of a straightforward synthetic entry to the olivacine skeleton, illustrated by a total synthesis of the tetrahydropyridine alkaloid guatambuine.",10.1021/jo052428s,2006-01-12,0.6324989301273667 Angewandte Chemie International Edition,Total Synthesis of Ciguatoxin,Something fishy: Ciguatoxin (see structure) is one of the principal toxins involved in ciguatera poisoning and the target of a total synthesis involving the coupling of three segments.

In route A the building block was constituted by 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-6-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (O-TBDPS) beta-linked galactosylmethylenephosphorane, while in route B the building block was a beta-linked formyl C-glycopyranoside with a similar orthogonal protection of hydroxy groups. In route A each cycle consisted of the reaction of the phosphorane building block with a sugar residue bearing a formyl group at the C-5 carbon atom (coupling) and transformation of the O-TBDPS-protected primary alcohol into the formyl group (arming). Accordingly, route A is defined as the aldehyde route. On the other hand, each cycle in route B involved the coupling of the sugar aldehyde building block with a substrate bearing a phosphorus ylide at C-6 and introduction of the phosphonium group in the arming step as a precursor of the ylide functionality. Accordingly, route B is defined as the ylide route. The efficiency of route A proved to be seriously hampered by the 1,2-elimination of BnOH under the basic reaction conditions of the Wittig olefination, giving rise to the formation of substantial amounts of enopyranose. On the other hand, the ylide route B proved to be more efficient since very good yields (70-93%) of the isolated Wittig products were obtained throughout four consecutive cycles. Individual olefins and polyolefins obtained by routes A and B using gluco and galacto substrates were reduced and debenzylated in one pot by H(2)/Pd(OH)(2) to give the corresponding beta-D-C-(1,6)-linked oligosaccharides up to the pentaose stage.

In a first step, methyl 3-hydroxy-5-isoxazolecarboxylate (CAS: 10068-07-2) was prepared on a kilogram scale via bromination of dimethyl fumarate under photoflow conditions followed by condensation with hydroxyurea. This intermediate was then two-carbon homologated by a sequence of ester reduction, chlorination, and nucleophilic substitution with commercially available triethylmethanetricarboxylate. Subsequently, a double decarboxylation event unveiled the desired building block 3-(3-methoxyisoxazole-5-yl) propanoic acid. During our development activities, a preliminary safety assessment of the intermediates by differential scanning calorimetry revealed that a high thermal decomposition energy was recorded for the isoxazole heterocycle. Therefore, our route scouting activities and isolation strategies needed to be carefully assessed under the guidance of the Oxygen balance/Rule of 6/Explosive functional group/Onset temperature/Scale (OREOS) safety assessment.

Synthetic approaches to these natural products typically rely on a common late-stage C10-oxygenated pyrroloiminoquinone intermediate, but these strategies often lead to lengthy synthetic sequences that are not amenable to divergent syntheses. We devised an alternative approach aimed at the early introduction of the C10 nitrogen, which we hypothesized would enable late-stage diversification. This strategy hinged upon a Larock/Buchwald-Hartwig annulation/cyclization to quickly access the core of these alkaloids.

To this end, phenolic mono‐ and sesquiterpenoids (incl. carvacrol, xanthorrhizol, and 7‐hydroxycalamene) as well as the diterpenes 7‐hydroxyerogorgiaene and 9‐deoxypseudopterosin A were converted into amino‐functionalized analogs that display either an amino‐methyl or a 2‐amino‐ethoxy substituent in place of (or next to) the OH group. This was achieved either by Pd‐catalyzed nitromethylation/reduction of the aryltriflates, by O ‐alkylation of the phenols with bromoacetonitrile and subsequent reduction, or by ortho ‐hydroxymethylation/amination. During the study, an efficient enantioselective total synthesis of 7‐hydroxyerogorgiaene (8 steps, 29 % overall yield) and 9‐deoxypseudopterosin A (9 steps, 30 % overall yield) was elaborated using an asymmetric cobalt‐catalyzed hydrovinylation (91 % ee ) of 3‐methoxy‐4‐methyl‐styrene as the chirogenic step. Other important C−C bond forming steps include a Pd‐catalyzed Suzuki cross‐coupling and diastereoselective Lewis acid‐mediated cyclization reactions. A total of 16 amino derivatives of natural products were prepared and subsequently tested for their antibacterial properties. Some of the diterpene‐derived amines showed high efficacy, not only against Gram‐positive ( S. aureus SG511 , S. aureus HG003 , B. subtilis 168; MIC=0.5 to 2 μg/ml), but also against Gram‐negative bacterial strains ( E. coli K12; E. coli I‐11276b; MIC=8 to 32 μg/ml).

The original synthesis of 1 involved five synthetic steps beginning with suberic acid monomethyl ester. Final deprotection of the O -benzyl hydroxamate moiety using hydrogen and palladium catalyst mandated the use of metal scavengers to reduce palladium levels to within International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidance. Owing to the sensitivity of 1 toward self-condensation and the potential for N–O bond cleavage under hydrogenolytic conditions, we developed an alternative route to 1 which avoids Pd-mediated hydrogenation and prolonged metal scavenger treatment. This two-step process employs readily available suberic acid and methyl paraben and has successfully delivered multiple kilograms of 1 for clinical use. Importantly, crude 1 was stabilized for recrystallization in acetonitrile (ACN) solution by the addition of 0.1% citric acid and 4% water. Additionally, the filtration and drying of suitably sized aggregates of 1 with high purity (100 area%) was accomplished via temperature cycling of the 1 /ACN solution.",10.1021/acs.oprd.6b00280,2016-09-19,0.6288332395072994 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Regioselective and Stereoselective Reductive Aziridinium Ring Cleavage Leading to Azabicyclodecane Architecture: Enantioselective Synthesis of (+)-Subincanadine F,"Enantioselective synthesis of cytotoxic indole alkaloid (+)-subincanadine F was accomplished starting from the corresponding ( S)-acetoxysuccinimide via aziridinium ring formation and its reductive ring expansion route.

The linear precursor for the model DAPs, targeted for conformational analysis studies, was obtained by reductive alkylation of tert-butyl alaninate or phenylalaninate by N-Boc-alpha-amino-gamma-oxo-N,N-dimethylbutyramide. Acetylation of the newly formed secondary amine followed by acidolytic deprotection of the amino and carboxyl terminal protecting groups and subsequent diphenylphosphorazidate-mediated ring formation yielded the blocked model DAPs. The synthesis of the DAP synthon started with 1-tert-butyl hydrogen N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)aspartate. The aldehyde obtained from the beta-carboxyl was used to reductively alkylate benzyl phenylalaninate, generating a secondary amine. Hydrogenolytic deprotection of the end-groups yielded the linear precursor which was cyclized via lactam formation mediated by 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazolyl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate. This route yielded the reversibly protected hexahydro-1H-3-oxo-2(S)-benzyl-5(S)-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-1,4-diazepine. This synthon unit can be subsequently elaborated by substituting the functional groups (secondary amine and carboxyl). Therefore, the DAPs may serve as novel molecular scaffolds to reproduce a biologically relevant topology or as a dipeptido-conformation-mimetic that can be incorporated into bioactive peptides. In addition, these synthetic routes will allow the introduction of different chiralities at positions 2 and 5 as well as the diversification of the side chains at position 2.

In contrast to other benzodiazepines in clinical use, MIDD0301 is a chiral compound that has limited brain absorption. The starting material to generate MIDD0301 is 2-amino-5-bromo-2′-fluorobenzophenone, which has a nonbasic nitrogen due to electron-withdrawing substituents in the ortho and para positions, reducing its reactivity toward activated carboxylic acids. Investigations of peptide coupling reagents on a multigram scale resulted in moderate yields due to incomplete conversions. Second, the basic conditions used for the formation of the seven-membered 1,4-diazepine ring resulted in racemization of the chiral center. We found that neutral conditions comparable to the p K a of the primary amine were sufficient to support the formation of the intramolecular imine but did not enable the simultaneous removal of the protecting group. Both difficulties were overcome with the application of the N -carboxyanhydride of d -alanine. Activated in the presence of an acid, this compound reacted with nonbasic 2-amino-5-bromo-2′-fluorobenzophenone and formed the 1,4-diazepine upon neutralization with triethylamine. Carefully designed workup procedures and divergent solubility of the synthesic intermediates in solvents and solvent combinations were utilized to eliminate the need for column chromatography. To improve compatibility with large-scale reactors, temperature-controlled slow addition of reagents generated the imidazodiazepine at −20 °C. All intermediates were isolated with a purity of >97% and impurities were identified and quantified. After the final hydrolysis step, MIDD0301 was isolated in a 44% overall yield and a purity of 98.9% after recrystallization.

Poly(ADP‐ribose) is involved in several biological processes such as DNA repair and cancerization. Herein, we report the development of two synthetic approaches to the poly(ADP‐ribose) fragment via a common precursor. The major difficulty in the synthesis of the fragment is the α‐(1′′→2′)‐glycosidic bond formation between the ribose and adenosine because of the lack of neighboring group participation and low reactivity of the 2′‐hydroxyl group. The first approach employed an indirect method that involved stepwise assembly of the ribosyl adenosine framework by O ‐ribofuranosylation of a commercially available ribose acceptor and subsequent N ‐glycosylation of N 6 ‐benzoyl adenine (14 linear longest sequence (LLS) steps, 11 pots, 6.8 % overall yield). In the second approach, the direct O ‐ribofuranosylation of a known 6‐chloropurine riboside acceptor was adopted (12 LLS steps, 10 pots, 4.8 % overall yield). Thus, two practical synthetic approaches to the target fragment were successfully established in terms of the number of LLS steps, pots, and overall yield. Furthermore, the precursor was converted into a conjugation‐ready building block, primed for application in ADP‐ribose oligomer synthesis.",10.1002/ejoc.202300875,2023-09-23,0.6276476557306968 Synthesis,Enantioselective Synthesis of (R)-Tiagabine via Asymmetric Hydrogen Atom Transfer Protocol,"Abstract An enantioselective synthesis of tiagabine has been achieved utilizing an asymmetric hydrogen atom transfer protocol to construct its essential chiral tertiary carbon center.

Construction of key phenanthrene intermediates by a Suzuki coupling-Wittig olefination-ring-closing metathesis sequence allowed a convergent and flexible approach. Conversion of the phenanthrenes into the target structures was projected to involve six steps including phenolic oxidation, ketone allylation, anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement, and acid-promoted cyclization. The final step was thwarted by a pinacol-like rearrangement that delivered the unnatural isohasubanan alkaloid skeleton. The structures of the products were established by exhaustive NMR experiments and confirmed by GIAO (13)C NMR calculations of runanine, isorunanine, and three other isomers. These computations revealed some inconsistencies with the benzene solvent correction which suggest that caution should be used in employing this algorithm. The racemic synthesis of isohasubanonine was transformed into an enantioselective synthesis by the discovery that Nakamura's chiral bisoxazoline-ligated allylzinc reagent mediates the enantioselective allylation of ketone 19 in 93% ee. This method could be extended to three other structurally related ketones (92-96% ee), and the enantioselective syntheses of two other isohasubanan alkaloids, isorunanine and isoaknadinine, were accomplished.

A comparison of the structure of swainsonine and d -mannopyranose shows that swainsonine lacks the C(4) hydroxymethine group of mannose. Ring-expanded quinolizidine analogs 4 of swainsonine were prepared where the “missing” hydroxymethine group was incorporated into the pyrrolidine ring of swainsonine between C(1) and C(8a). The quinolizidine analogs 4 resemble both d -mannopyranose and the related azasugar deoxymannojirimycin, a selective inhibitor of the glycoprotein processing enzyme mannosidase I. d -Arabinose was converted into the ω-halo azidoalkene 13, which was subjected to thermolysis, a strategy which had been successful in an earlier synthesis of swainsonine itself. Rather than the desired quinolizidine 4, the pyridinium ion 16 was produced. An alternate synthesis of all four C(9)/C(9a) diastereomers of 4 was developed which relied on the reductive double-alkylation of epoxides bearing remote azido and chloro groups. Thus, reduction of compounds 21 α, 21 β, 26, and 27 resulted in the formation of the quinolizidines 22, 23, 28, and 29, which were deprotected to give the quinolizidine analogs of swainsonine (9 S,9a R )- 4, (9 R,9a S )- 4, (9 S,9a S )- 4, and (9 R,9a R )- 4, respectively. An alternate synthesis of (9 R,9a R )- 4 involving the reductive N -alkylation of a cyclic imine was also developed.

The industrial-scale synthesis of arylacetonitrile typically involves highly toxic metal cyanides, which pose significant safety and environmental hazards. The improved process replaces the low-yielding arylacetonitrile intermediate with a substituted nitrostyrene, thereby eliminating the need for metal cyanides on the industrial scale. Additionally, the implementation of in situ reactions at the n–1 and n–2 stages, coupled with an aqueous-phase reaction in the initial step, enhances sustainability both economically and environmentally. This approach results in 83% overall yields from substituted nitrostyrene 11 and 55.5% yield of nitrostyrene 11 from catechol 3, concise synthetic route, and reduced use of bulk solvents compared to the previously opted lengthy, lower-yielding routes through nitrile claiming 31% overall yield of nitrile 5 from catechol 3 and 56.5% overall yield from nitrile 5 to the active pharmaceutical ingredient.",10.1021/acs.oprd.5c00237,2025-10-24,0.6267470484880071 Tetrahedron,"New Regiospecific and stereoselective route to β-hydroxy selenides A (C,C) connective and stereospecific route to olefins and epoxides",,10.1016/s0040-4039(00)93887-5,1976-09-01,0.6267466685609233 Angewandte Chemie International Edition,A Facile Stereocontrolled Approach to CF3‐Substituted Triarylethenes: Synthesis of Panomifene,"The stereoselective preparation and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of boronates 2 provides a new general and convenient route to CF3-substituted triaryl ethenes 3, in which the CF3 and Ar3 groups are cis to each other.

The conventional approach to the manufacture of compound 1 rests on the resolution of racemic medetomidine ( 2 ). However, besides a low recovery of the ( S )-enantiomer (∼0.2 kg from one kg of the racemate), the classical resolution suffers from production of chiral waste enriched in levomedetomidine ( R -enantiomer), which could not be racemized in a safe and practically applicable manner. We proposed a new precursor for dexmedetomidine, 2-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)propionic acid ( 5 ), to be resolved at preliminary steps instead of resolution of dexmedetomidine 1 itself. The resolved acid ( S )-enantiomer 4 is then used in the synthesis of 1 and the ( R )-enantiomer-enriched chiral waste are readily racemized in a simple, safe, and scalable manner and used again. Further synthesis steps involving ( S )-acid 4 included the preparation of sulfur ylide 19 from acid chloride 16 and dimethylsulfoxonium methylide 18, transformation of compound 19 into α-bromoketone 21, and its subsequent transformation to salts 25a – 25j . The “azide route” was found to be the optimum one for the preparation of aminoketone, providing the product with acceptable enantiomeric purity, and included the reaction of bromoketone 21 with sodium azide, followed by hydrogenation of the resulting azidoketone 30 . The Marckwald cyclization of aminoketone salts 25 with potassium thiocyanate afforded a dexmedetomidine thio derivative 26, the desulfurization of which gave the ( S )-enantiomer-enriched target product 1 in high yield. Excellent yields of the racemic acid 5 recycled after resolution and a high percentage recovery of the commercially available chiral amine 11 used for resolution, as well as preliminary enrichment of the crude product with the ( S )-enantiomer, allowed us to decrease the amount of chiral waste almost 4-fold compared to the classical resolution of racemic medetomidine ( 2 ). In addition, the exclusion of expensive Rh catalysts and chiral ligands, which are used in current methods, considerably decreased the manufacturing cost of 1 .",10.1021/acs.oprd.3c00388,2024-03-20,0.6267268710935872 Journal of the American Chemical Society,Development of Enantioselective Synthetic Routes to (−)-Kinamycin F and (−)-Lomaiviticin Aglycon,"The development of enantioselective synthetic routes to (-)-kinamycin F (9) and (-)-lomaiviticin aglycon (6) are described. The diazotetrahydrobenzo[b]fluorene (diazofluorene) functional group of the targets was prepared by fluoride-mediated coupling of a β-trimethylsilylmethyl-α,β-unsaturated ketone (38) with an oxidized naphthoquinone (19), palladium-catalyzed cyclization (39→37), and diazo transfer (37→53). The D-ring precursors 60 and 68 were prepared from m-cresol and 3-ethylphenol, respectively. Coupling of the β-trimethylsilylmethyl-α,β-unsaturated ketone 60 with the juglone derivative 61, cyclization, and diazo transfer provided the advanced diazofluorene 63, which was elaborated to (-)-kinamycin F (9) in three steps. The diazofluorene 87 was converted to the C(2)-symmetric lomaiviticin aglycon precursor 91 by enoxysilane formation and oxidative dimerization with manganese tris(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) (94, 26%). The stereochemical outcome in the coupling is attributed to the steric bias engendered by the mesityl acetal of 87 and contact ion pairing of the intermediates. The coupling product 91 was deprotected (tert-butylhydrogen peroxide, trifluoroacetic acid-dichloromethane) to form mixtures of the chain isomer of lomaiviticin aglycon 98 and the ring isomer 6. These mixtures converged on purification or standing to the ring isomer 6 (39-41% overall). The scope of the fluoride-mediated coupling process is delineated (nine products, average yield = 72%); a related enoxysilane quinonylation reaction is also described (10 products, average yield = 77%). We establish that dimeric diazofluorenes undergo hydrodediazotization 2-fold faster than related monomeric diazofluorenes. This enhanced reactivity may underlie the cytotoxic effects of (-)-lomaiviticin A (1).

Since the structure elucidation in 1964, this toxin has been recognized as a formidable target molecule for total synthesis. We have recently achieved the first asymmetric total synthesis from 2-acetoxy-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal as a chiral starting material. The highly hydroxylated cyclohexane ring was constructed by Claisen rearrangement and regioselective hydroxylations of an acetone moiety and an intramolecular directed aldol condensation of the precursor having methyl ketone with dihydroxyacetone, which was synthesized through Sonogashira coupling. Installation of nitrogen functionality was unsuccessful through an attempted Overman rearrangement. We, therefore, employed a new intramolecular conjugate addition strategy between the carbamate and unsaturated ester groups. The alpha-hydroxyl lactone moiety was synthesized through an intramolecular epoxide opening by the Z-enolate of aldehyde, which was followed by oxidation-reduction of the resulting cyclic vinyl ether. The lactone was then converted to a protected ortho ester, and then gunanidinylation was followed by cleavage of the 1,2-glycol to give the fully protected tetrodotoxin. Selection of the protective groups has finally led us to accomplish the total synthesis of tetrodotoxin in an enantiomerically pure form. All the stereogenic centers were controlled with high selectivity, and the hydroxyl groups were differently protected to discriminate for the future analogue synthesis of a bioorganic program. The synthetic tetrodotoxin was purified by ion exchange chromatography and characterized to be identical with the natural compound.",10.1021/ja0342998,2003-06-28,0.6266326104201184 Tetrahedron,Novel synthetic strategy toward abietane and podocarpane-type diterpenes from (−)-sclareol: synthesis of the antitumor (+)-7-deoxynimbidiol,,10.1016/j.tetlet.2007.10.080,2007-11-06,0.6266276161794998 Organic Process Research & Development,"A New and Direct Asymmetric Synthesis of a Hindered Chiral Amine via a Novel Sulfinate Ketimine Derived from N-Tosyl-1,2,3-oxathiazolidine-2-oxide:  Practical Asymmetric Synthesis of (R)-Sibutramine","A novel and direct approach for the asymmetric synthesis of ( R )-sibutramine via chiral amine 5 using N -tosyl-1,2,3-oxathiazolidine-2-oxide ( 13 ) as a recyclable chiral auxiliary is described.

Rifsaliniketal was previously proposed, but not observed, as a diverted metabolite from a biosynthetic precursor to rifamycin S. Decarboxylation of rifamycin provides salinisporamycin, which upon truncation with loss of the naphthoquinone ring leads to saliniketals.

The key step for the asymmetric synthesis of (S,E)-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-4-methyl-5-(2-methylthiazol-4-yl)pent-4-enal involved a ketone reduction with (R)-Me-CBS-oxazaborolidine. For the synthesis of (5S)-5,7-di[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-4,4-dimethylheptan-3-one an asymmetric Noyori reduction of a beta-ketoester was employed. The C26 hydroxyepothilone D derivative was constructed following a well-established total synthesis strategy and the photoaffinity labels were attached to the C26 hydroxyl group. The photoaffinity analogues were tested in a tubulin assembly assay and for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. The 3- and 4-azidobenzoic acid analogues were found to be as active as epothilone B in a tubulin assembly assay, but demonstrated significantly reduced cellular cytotoxicity compared to epothilone B.

Key to the preparation of the pentadepsipeptide 26 incorporating the backbone ester was the asymmetric synthesis of an orthogonally protected L-threo-beta-hydroxyasparagine and the development of effective and near-racemization free conditions for esterification of its hindered alcohol (EDCI, DMAP, 0 degrees C). The coupling sites were chosen to maximize the convergency of the synthesis including that of the three subunits, to prevent late stage racemization of carboxylate-activated phenylglycine-derived residues, and to enlist beta-sheet preorganization of an acyclic macrocyclization substrate for 49-membered ring closure. As such, macrocyclization at the chosen Phe(9)-D-Orn(10) site may benefit from both beta-sheet preorganization as well as closure at a D-amine terminus.

Key steps of the synthesis included development of a regioselective iodination of an apigenin derivative at the 6-position. Also key was the formation of an apigenin 3‘-boronate using a palladium-catalyzed exchange of the corresponding 3‘-iodide with a diboron reagent.

Intramolecular [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition of the crotyl ether of (S)-4-hydroxycyclohex-2-enone afforded a bicyclo[4.2.0]octanone containing an embedded tetrahydrofuran in which the cyclohexanone moiety was converted to a triisopropylsilyl enol ether and functionalized as an allylic azide. The derived primary amine was acylated with α-phenylselenylacrylic acid, and the resulting amide was reacted with trimethylaluminum to give a [2 + 2]-cycloadduct, which underwent retroaldol fission to produce a fused α-phenylselenyl δ-lactam. Periodate oxidation of this lactam led directly to an α-pyridone, which was converted to a fused 2-methoxypyridine. Reductive cleavage of the activated ""pyridylic"" C-O bond in this tetracycle and elaboration of the resultant hydroxy ketone to a diketone was followed by chemoselective conversion of the methyl ketone in this structure to an endo isopropenyl group. Condensation of the remaining ketone with methyl carbamate in the presence of acid initiated the programmed cascade sequence and furnished a known synthetic precursor to huperzine A.

The synthetic route to the key intermediate 12a comprises a regioselective iodination of 4-chloro-2-nitrotoluene, modified Reissert indole synthesis, Jeffery's Heck-type reaction with allyl alcohol, Wittig-Horner-Emmons reaction, and iodination at the indole C-3 position. The key step in the route is an intramolecular cyclization of 12a to give the tricyclic indole structure. Two methods of cyclization, (1) an intramolecular radical cyclization of 12a and (2) a sequence of intramolecular Heck reaction of 12a followed by a 1,4-reduction, were performed.

A scale-up of the well-known mixed anhydride coupling method, using isobutyl chloroformate, to produce 4 was found to be problematic due to coupling of the amine at the undesired carbonyl group of the mixed anhydride. This problem was overcome. The drug substance, initially an amorphous powder, was obtained with the desired purity without any chromatography.

The key complexity-building reaction in the synthesis involves the Ag(I)-catalyzed endo-selective [C + NC + CC] coupling of aldehyde 7, (S)-glycyl sultam 8, and methyl acrylate (9) to provide the highly functionalized pyrrolidine 6, which was carried forward to an advanced intermediate (compound 33) in Fukuyama's synthesis of cyanocycline A. Since cyanocycline A has been converted to bioxalomycin β2, this constitutes a formal synthesis of the latter natural product as well. The multicomponent reaction-based strategy reduces the number of steps previously needed to assemble these complex molecular targets by one-third.

The first approach involved attempts to graft an aminoimidazole moiety onto an azepine ring to form partially hydrogenated versions of the unprecedented aromatic imidazo[4,5-d]azepine core of the ceratamines. This route ultimately failed because it was not possible to aromatize the partially hydrogenated ceratamine intermediates. A second approach started with tribromoimidazole that was sequentially metalated and functionalized to efficiently generate a key imidazole intermediate containing vinyl bromide and amide functionalities. An intramolecular Buchwald vinyl amidation reaction converted this key intermediate into a bicyclic imidazo[4,5-d]azepine that was at the same oxidation state as the aromatic core of the ceratamines. The 2-amino functionality present on the imidazole ring of the ceratamines was installed using a Buchwald/Hartwig amination reaction on a 2-chloroimidazole precursor. Deprotection and aromatization resulted in the first synthesis of desbromoceratamine A (55) and desmethyldesbromoceratamine A (60). An unanticipated addition of atmospheric oxygen was encountered during deprotection of the imidazole ring in the last step of the synthesis leading to C-11 oxygenated ceratamine analogues as byproducts.

Biologically, it is a novel and promising lead compound for the development of new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders and persistent pain management. Herein, we report a concise synthesis of complanadine A using a pyrrole-to-pyridine molecular editing strategy. The use of a nucleophilic pyrrole as the precursor of the desired pyridine enabled an efficient and one-pot construction of the tetracyclic core skeleton of complanadine A and lycodine. The pyrrole group was converted into a 3-chloropyridine via Ciamician–Dennstedt one-carbon ring expansion. A subsequent C–H arylation between the 3-chloropyridine and a pyridine N-oxide formed the unsymmetrical dimer, which was then advanced to complanadine A. Overall, from a readily available known compound, the total synthesis of complanadine A was achieved in 11 steps. The pyrrole-to-pyridine molecular editing strategy enabled us to significantly enhance the overall synthetic efficiency. Additionally, as demonstrated by Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, the 3-chloropyridine product from the Ciamician–Dennstedt rearrangement is amenable for further derivatization, offering an opportunity for simplified analogue synthesis.",10.1055/a-2107-5159,2023-06-07,0.6219897017203404 European Journal of Organic Chemistry,"Synthesis of (23R)- and (23S)-23H-Isocalysterols, Marine Sterols with a Cyclopropene Moiety in the Side Chain","A synthesis of (23R)- and (23S)-23H-calysterols 2a and 2b from pregnanoic ester 10 is reported.

The successful application of this drug has spurred the development of derivatives wherein strategic regions (e.g., P1, P1’, P2, and P2’) of the darunavir framework have been structurally modified. An alternate route for the synthesis of darunavir and three related P1 and P1’ derivatives has been developed. This synthetic pathway involves the use of a Crimmins titanium tetrachloride-mediated oxazolidine-2-thione-guided asymmetric glycolate aldol addition reaction. The resultant aldol adduct introduces the P1 fragment of darunavir via an aldehyde. Transamidation with a selected amine (isobutylamine or 2-ethyl-1-butylamine) to cleave the auxiliary yields an amide wherein the P1’ component is introduced. From this stage, the amide is reduced to the corresponding β-amino alcohol and the substrate is then bis-nosylated to introduce the requisite p -nitrobenzenesulfonamide component and activate the secondary alcohol for nucleophilic substitution. Treatment with sodium azide yielded the desired azides, and the deprotection of the p -methoxyphenoxy group is achieved with the use of ceric ammonium nitrate.

The manuscript features the process optimizations of the end game used for late phase clinical supplies, an overview of synthetic strategies identified in a route scouting exercise to a key intermediate phenylalanine derivative, and the analytical control strategy of the potentially formed highly toxic impurity bis(chloromethyl) ether (BCME). Starting from the phenylalanine derivative, we describe the optimizations of the end game from early phase to late phase processes with consequent improvements in the PMI factor. This sequence includes a Pictet–Spengler cyclization and an amide coupling as the last bond-forming steps, and the manufacturing process was successfully implemented on a 175 kg scale in a pilot plant setup. The modified process conditions eliminated one step by in situ activation of the carboxylic acid, avoided the REACH listed solvent DMF, and resulted in a PMI improvement by a factor of 3. In the final crystallization, a new, thermodynamically more stable modification of the drug substance was found in the complex solid-state landscape of EMA401 during an extensive polymorph screening. A process suitable for large-scale production was developed to prepare the new polymorph, avoiding the need of any special equipment such as fluidized bed drying required in the early phase process.

Performing the reaction at high concentration (0.5 M) in the presence of a carbonate base favors the former, i.e., KAT; whereas, running the reaction at 0.1M in the presence of tetra-n-butylammonium chloride favors the DYKAT process. Syntheses of aflatoxin B(1) and B(2a) employs the DYKAT to introduce the stereochemistry. Starting with Pechmann condensation of the monomethyl ether of phloroglucinol, the requisite phenol nucleophile is constructed in two steps. The DYKAT proceeds with > 95% ee. A reductive Heck cyclization followed by a lanthanide catalyzed intramolecular acylation completes the synthesis of the pentacyclic nucleus in 3 steps.

A series of other 3-(heteroaryl)indoles (pyrazinyl, furyl, thienyl, indolyl) have been similarly prepared from 6. The potential of some of these (2-pyridyl)indoles in alkaloid synthesis is demonstrated. Thus, from 2-(2-pyridyl)indole 4b, a new synthetic entry to the indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine system, involving stereoselective hydrogenation of the pyridine ring with subsequent electrophilic cyclization upon the indole 3-position from an appropriately N(b)-substituted 2-(2-piperidyl)indole, is reported. For this purpose, Pummerer cyclizations have been extensively studied. Whereas the indole-unprotected sulfoxide 17 gives the corresponding indoloquinolizidine 19 in low yield and mainly undergoes an abnormal Pummerer cyclization that ultimately leads to sulfide 18, the N(a)-protected sulfoxides 24a and 24b afford the respective indoloquinolizidines 25a,b in 70% yield.

The well-documented up-regulation of FAS in cancer cells makes this enzyme complex an interesting therapeutic target for cancer. The described route to 3,4-dialkyl-beta-lactones is based on a two-step process involving Calter's catalytic, asymmetric ketene dimerization of acid chlorides followed by a facial-selective hydrogenation leading to cis-substituted-beta-lactones. Importantly, the ketene dimer intermediates were found to be stable to flash chromatography, enabling opportunities for subsequent transformations of these optically active, reactive intermediates. Subsequent alpha-epimerization and alpha-alkylation or acylation led to trans-beta-lactones and beta-lactones bearing alpha-quaternary carbons, respectively. Several of the ketene dimers and beta-lactones displayed antagonistic activity (apparent Ki in the low micromolar range) in competition with a fluorogenic substrate toward a recombinant form of the thioesterase domain of fatty acid synthase. The best antagonist, a simple phenyl-substituted cis-beta-lactone 3d, displayed an apparent Ki (2.5 +/- 0.5 microM) of only approximately 10-fold lower than that of orlistat (0.28 +/- 0.06 microM).

These distinct GSP motifs are much more common than previously appreciated within a wide variety of functionally important domains involved in protein–protein interactions.

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.",10.1021/ja500548e,2014-02-05,0.6155536204774676 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Convergent Total Synthesis of Khafrefungin and Its Inhibitory Activity of Fungal Sphingolipid Syntheses,"A convergent total synthesis of khafrefungin, a novel inhibitor of fungal sphingolipid syntheses isolated from the fermentation culture MF6020, has been developed.

This reaction is performed using a cationic Cu(I) precatalyst, which can be easily generated in situ using KPF 6 as a halide abstractor. High-throughput screening revealed a new Pd catalyst system to effect the penultimate borylation chemistry using simple monodentate phosphine ligands, with PCyPh 2 identified as optimal.

This paper describes an aldol approach to the stereoselective construction of the 16alpha,17alpha-dihydroxycholest-22-one structure from 16alpha-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-ones and propionates. Elaboration of the aldol adducts toward OSW-1, involving installation of the isoamyl ketone side chain, inversion of the 16-hydroxyl configuration, and selective protection of the C22-oxy function, has been explored and accomplished. In particular, the present route was found convenient for the synthesis of OSW saponin analogues with a C22-ester side chain. Thus, the 23-oxa-analogue of OSW-1 (40) was prepared starting from the industrial dehydroisoandrosterone (1) in a linear eight-step sequence and in 26% overall yield. Analogues with a variety of modified side chains were prepared, via aldol condensation with propionates of varying length, thiopropionate, and acetate (for preparation of 68-75) or via aminolysis of the 22,16-lactone 26 (for preparation of the 23-N-analogues). Cross metathesis (CM) reaction was also found feasible for modification at the final stage from C22-allyl ester 70. Valuable structure-activity relationships (SAR), together with the practical synthetic approach, have thus been provided to set a new stage for further studies on this new type of antitumor structures.",10.1021/jo051536b,2005-11-05,0.6152122098928261 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Wittig Cyclization of ω-Hydroxy Hemiacetals: Synthesis of (+)-Aspicilin,"The polyhydroxylated 18-membered lichen macrolide (+)-aspicilin was synthesized in 12 steps and 17% yield (longest linear sequence) starting from d -mannose and ( S )-propylene oxide as the source of the stereogenic centers.

To demonstrate the potential of this novel synthetic route, the design and preparation of novel phenylurea-1,5-benzodiazepin-4(5H)-one dipeptide mimetics with potential CCK2-antagonist properties is reported.",10.1055/a-1545-2860,2021-07-06,0.6135375247799406 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Practical Synthesis of a Neuropeptide Y Antagonist via Stereoselective Addition to a Ketene,"[Reaction: see text]. The synthesis of neuropeptide Y antagonist 1, currently under clinical investigation for the treatment of obesity, is described. The convergent synthesis from trans-spirolactone carboxylic acid intermediate 2a and aminopyrazole 3 is predicated on a stereoselective route to the former. The coupling reaction of ethyl 4-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate (10a) with lithiated isonicotinamide 11 was investigated in detail, but even optimized conditions only provided a 45:55 ratio of trans:cis isomers (12a:12b). While selective crystallization schemes were developed to isolate the thermodynamically less stable trans isomer 2a, improved stereocontrol was subsequentially achieved by the application of ketene chemistry. The ketene formation and quench was investigated under a variety of conditions aimed at maximizing the trans:cis ratio. Reacting a mixture of carboxylic acids 2a and 2b with POCl3 in THF, followed by concomitant addition of tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of TMEDA at 35 degrees C provided a 4:1 ratio of trans:cis tert-butyl esters (18a:18b) via in situ ketene formation. Ester hydrolysis, followed by selective crystallization of undesired 2b as the HCl salt, led to isolation of 2a in 47% overall yield. Aminopyrazole intermediate 3 was synthesized via the condensation reaction of 2-fluorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (4a) with acrylonitrile derivative 5 in 65-70% yield.

Four chiral centers in the structure (i.e., carbons 23, 25, 32, and 33) have unknown configuration; thus, a modular approach has been devised to link the two stereocenter-containing ends of the structure together via a trisubstituted olefin template to ultimately produce all possible diastereomers of the target. Keys to the success of this approach include (i) an efficient synthesis of four diastereomeric hydrophobic tails (C22-C29) of the molecule with two stereogenic centers at C23 and C25; (ii) the synthesis of three stereodefined trisubstituted olefins 37, 38, and 43 using palladium(0)-catalyzed hydrometalation and metallometalation; and (iii) the convergent assembly of the aforementioned sections by a 'one-pot' lithium/halogen exchange, boron/lithium exchange, borate ester saponification, and Suzuki cross-coupling followed by oxidative deprotection.

A cleaner, simpler, and more efficient alternative to the Schiff base-mediated formation of sertraline imine has been developed and is presented in this paper. The condensation reaction between 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalone, sertraline tetralone ( 2 ), and monomethylamine was carried out in ethanol, without the need for classical dehydrating agent, such as TiCl 4, or more novel approaches, such as molecular sieves, both of which produce hazardous byproducts and solid wastes. The low solubility of the imine 3 in this type of solvent is exploited, such that the reaction equilibrium favorably enhances the imine formation. Furthermore, an improved and highly selective catalytic reduction of 3 with Pd/CaCO 3 catalyst in ethanol as the reaction solvent, followed by the resolution of the racemic cis isomer ( 6 ) with d -(−)-mandelic acid results in a more efficient telescoped commercial process to (1 S - cis )-4-(3,4-dichlorophenol)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- N -methyl-1-naphthalen-amine mandelate, sertraline mandelate ( 4 ).

We report here the synthesis and characterization of a pentavalent inhibitor for cholera toxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin. This inhibitor is an advance over the symmetric pentacyclen-derived inhibitor described in our earlier work in that it presents five copies of m-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactoside (MNPG) rather than five copies of beta-D-galactose. The approximately 100-fold higher single-site affinity of MNPG for the toxin receptor binding site relative to galactose is found to yield a proportionate increase in the affinity and IC50 measured for the respective pentavalent constructs. We show by dynamic light scattering that inhibition of receptor binding by the pentavalent inhibitor is due to 1:1 inhibitor:toxin association rather than to inhibitor-mediated aggregation. This 1:1 association is in complete agreement with a 1.46 A resolution crystal structure of the pentavalent inhibitor:toxin complex, which shows that the favorable single-site binding interactions of MNPG are retained by the five arms of the 5256 Da pentavalent MNPG-based inhibitor and that the initial segment of the linking groups interacts with the surface of the toxin B pentamer.",10.1021/ja0202560,2002-07-01,0.613251440965247 Tetrahedron,Novel synthesis of the allene moiety of carotenoids via biomimetic photosensitized oxygenation,,10.1016/s0040-4039(01)01405-8,2001-10-01,0.6132459794777759 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Synthesis of the Core Tricyclic Ring Domain of (−)-Schulzeine B,"A formal synthesis of (-)-schulzeine B, a marine natural alkaloid possessing potent antidiabetic activity, has been achieved.

Synthesis of the activated cyclo Sal‐pyranonucleoside‐6′‐phosphate triesters was achieved by applying a synthetic route that had been developed for the synthesis of cyclo Sal‐(glycopyranosyl‐6)‐phosphates by us. The route involved regioselective 6′‐ tert ‐butyldimethylsilyl protection and exchange of the silyl protecting group by the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group. The 6′‐Fmoc‐protected derivatives were selectively converted into the cyclo Sal‐triester. These were then very efficiently converted into triphosphates by a “titration‐like” reaction with pyrophosphate.

It also plays an essential role in post‐translational modifications of ribosomal proteins. For profound studies on arginine‐hydroxylating enzymes, synthetic reference compounds are of utmost importance. However, the synthesis of β‐hydroxy‐α‐amino acids is often not trivial. In particular, the preparation of a densely functionalized compound such as 3‐hydroxy‐ L ‐arginine poses a challenge in terms of a protecting‐group strategy. We have previously established a concise synthesis of 3‐hydroxy‐ L ‐arginine that is suitable for the preparation of both 3‐epimers of this β‐hydroxy‐α‐amino acid. However, we have since observed a remarkable isomerization reaction upon removal of the hydrogenolytically cleavable protecting groups, thus limiting the reliability of our previously described route. In this paper, we report a comparative study of protecting‐group strategies for this synthetic route, including a newly developed, more robust pathway to the target amino acid. The versatility of this improved route is demonstrated by the synthesis of the deuterium‐labelled derivatives (3 R )‐ and (3 S )‐3‐hydroxy‐[5‐ 2 H]‐ L ‐arginine. These new isotope‐labelled arginine derivatives represent important tools for the elucidation of biosynthetic pathways, such as the formation of the arginine‐derived amino acid epicapreomycidine in the biosynthesis of muraymycin nucleoside antibiotics.",10.1002/ejoc.201501109,2015-11-24,0.6117141606012073 Journal of the American Chemical Society,"Callipeltoside A: Total Synthesis, Assignment of the Absolute and Relative Configuration, and Evaluation of Synthetic Analogues","The total synthesis of the novel antitumor agent callipeltoside A, as well as several analogues, is accomplished and allows assignment of the stereochemistry not previously established. A convergent strategy is employed wherein the target is dissected into three units-the core macrolactone, the sugar callipeltose, and a cyclopropyl bearing chain. The strategy for the synthesis of the macrolactone derives from employment of diastereoselective aldol reactions that emanate from an 11 carbon piece. The stereochemistry of the latter derives from the chiral pool and two asymmetric reactions-a ketone reduction using CBS-oxazaborolidine and a Pd catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA). The novelty of the latter protocol is its control of regioselectivity as well as absolute configuration. The trisubstituted olefin is generated using an alkene-alkyne coupling to create a trisubustituted olefin with complete control of geometry. The excellent chemo- and regioselectivity highlights the synthetic potential of this new ruthenium catalyzed process. The macrolactonization employs in situ formation of an acylketene generated by the thermolysis of a m-dioxolenone. Two strategies evolved for attachment of the side chain-one based upon olefination and a second upon olefin metathesis. The higher efficiency of the latter makes it the method of choice. A novel one pot olefin metathesis-Takai olefination protocol that should be broadly applicable is developed. The sugar is attached by a glycosylation by employing the O-trichloroacetimidate. This route provided both C-13 epimers of the macrolactone by using either enantiomeric ligand in the Pd AAA reaction. It also provided both trans-chlorocyclopropane diastereomers of callipeltoside A which allows the C-20 and C-21 configuration to be established as S and R, respectively. The convergent nature of the synthesis in which the largest piece, the macrolatone, require only 16 linear steps imparts utility to this strategy for the establishment of the structure-activity relationship. Initial biological testing demonstrates the irrelevance of the chloro substituent and the necessity of the sugar.",10.1021/ja0205232,2002-08-07,0.6117132618630492 Synthesis,"A New Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Diazo-ketones: An Improved Synthesis of 4-Diazo-3-oxo-1-phenyl-1-butene (Diazomethyl Styryl Ketone)",,10.1055/s-1974-23380,1974-01-01,0.6117127776491875 Synlett,"Asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig Rearrangement Approach to the Formal Synthesis of (+)-Brefeldin A","All articles of this category An asymmetric synthesis of the 2,4-disubstituted 1-cyclopentanal, a key precursor of brefeldin A, is described which involves as the key step an asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement to control both the ring and side chain configurations. brefeldin A - [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement",10.1055/s-1995-5152,1995-09-01,0.6117118101603819 Organic Letters,"General Synthesis of Chiral α,α-Diaryl Carboxamides by Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling","A general synthesis of chiral α,α-diaryl carboxamides is developed by enantioselective cross-coupling between 2-bromo-2-aryl carboxamides and arylboronic acids, leading to a series of chiral α,α-diaryl carboxamides with various electronic properties and functionalities in moderate to excellent enantioselectivities and yields.

The previous synthesis suffered from several drawbacks, in which a critical one is the difficulty in the removal of byproducts leading to unsatisfactory quality of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Furthermore, on stereoselective reduction of an enone intermediate by binaphthol-modified lithium aluminum hydride, low concentration of the reaction conditions and tedious purification procedures to remove excess binaphthol were critical issues for the manufacturing process of the API. In the improved process, we have developed improved conditions using gamma-thiobutyrolactone as sulfur source instead of potassium thioacetate to introduce the sulfur-containing C4 side chain without formation of byproducts. For stereoselective synthesis of the chiral alcohol, (-)-DIP-chloride reduction is found to be the best method, which can improve not only the enantioselectivity but also the workload for removing the chiral modifier in a purification process. Furthermore, benzoyl and tert-butyldimethylsilyl groups as protecting groups for hydroxyl functions were used for precise process controls of all intermediates.

A variety of symmetric dienynes (propargylic acetals of type 11 ) were used as substrates in a cobalt‐mediated Pauson–Khand (PK) reaction to give bicyclic cyclopentenone derivatives of type rac ‐ 12 with high diastereoselectivity. These compounds are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of structurally diverse CNAs with a high biological potential as apoptosis‐inducing agents. Starting from the PK product rac ‐ 12a , the synthesis of 4′‐trialkylsilyloxyethyl‐substituted nucleosides rac ‐ 18 and rac ‐ 19 (with 5‐bromouracil and 6‐chloropurine as a nucleo‐base, respectively) was accomplished in seven steps (28 % and 37 % overall yield). The regio‐ and diastereoselective nucleobase (NB) introduction was achieved by Pd 0 ‐catalyzed allylic substitution. Starting from the PK product rac ‐ 12e , the 2′‐phenyl‐4′‐trialkylsilyloxymethyl‐substituted CNA rac ‐ 17 was prepared (6 steps, 29 % yield)by exploitingan alternative protocol — a Mitsunobu reaction — for the NB introduction.

They share the same macrolactone core, with the difference between them residing at the side chain level. A predominant feature of these amphidinolides is the presence of two trans -THF rings inside the macrolactone core, which is thought to be built by C-glycosylation with titanium enolate of N -acetyl oxazolinethiones. Thus, the original strategy for their total synthesis was based on the assembly of three main fragments corresponding to C 1 –C 9, C 10 –C 19, and C 20 –C 29 or C 20 –C 34 disconnections. Whereas synthesis of all fragments was successful, the C-glycosylation reaction between C 19 and C 20 turned out to be an issue. Therefore, a second route was designed. The new disconnection between C 17 and C 18 was based on a sulfone addition and a desulfonylation sequence. Our convergent strategy allowed the total synthesis of amphidinolide F and enabled a new unifying route toward the synthesis of amphidinolides C, C2, and C3 using a late-stage divergent approach.

Ascorbic acid and isoascorbic acid were converted over several steps into the L-threo/L-erythro- and the D-erythro/D-threo-configured aldotetroses, respectively, which are the key building blocks for the eight target imidazolo-pentoses cited above. Nucleophilic addition of a metallated imidazole to any one of these four aldotetroses gave the corresponding two diastereomeric adducts, intramolecular cyclisation of which provided the expected bicyclic target molecules, with some protection and deprotection steps being unavoidable prerequisites. The structures and configurations of all eight piperidinoses in Scheme 1 were determined unambiguously, by a combination of 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) and [α]D values, in conjunction with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of the L-arabino and D-lyxo azasugars ent-3 and 6. Although lacking the hydroxymethylene group in the C(5) position, the overall structure of these eight stereomers strongly resembles that of the natural product nagstatine (1), a potent inhibitor of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase.

Cucurbitanes are a family of structurally complex triterpenoids that characteristically contain three stereodefined quaternary centers at ring fusion carbons positioned about their tetracyclic skeletons (at positions 9, 13, and 14). Taking a diversion from the biosynthetic hypothesis for cucurbitane synthesis, the approach established here provides direct access to the cucurbitane skeleton without having to proceed by way of a lanostane. Using a simple chiral enyne as starting material, a sequence of annulative cross-coupling and intramolecular Heck reaction provides a stereodefined polyunsaturated tetracycle possessing the C9 and C13 quaternary centers.

The key step of these syntheses is an enantioselective deprotonation of the prochiral ketone 25 with lithium (R,R)-bis(phenylethyl)amide (12) in the presence of LiCl. Treatment of the thus formed enolate 26 with ClSiEt3 gave the enol ether 27 of 92% ee in 94% yield. Deprotonation of the analogous prochiral ketone 9 with 12 in the presence of LiCl followed by reaction of the enolate 13 with ClSiEt3 led to isolation of the silyl enol ether 8b of 92% ee in 95% yield. A study of the deprotonation of 9 with the chiral lithium amides 14−19 showed that 12 in combination with LiCl is the optimal base in terms of enantioselectivity and accessibility.

Asymmetry is achieved via the enzymatic desymmetrization of advanced meso diacetate 20, through PPL-mediated ester hydrolysis. A second key feature of the synthesis is the strategically late introduction of the highly oxygenated natural ring E through an arylcopper species. The successful implementation of this approach augers well for the introduction of other functionalized rings E for future SAR work. The synthesis begins from piperonal, which is fashioned into isobenzofuran (IBF) precursor 14 in three steps (bromination, acetalization, and halogen-metal exchange/hydroxymethylation). Interestingly, treatment of 14 with HOAc in commerical dimethyl maleate (contains 5% dimethyl fumarate) leads to a nearly equimolar mixture of fumarate- (15) and maleate-IBF Diels-Alder adducts (16 and 17), indicating that IBF 11 reacts about 15 times faster with dimethyl fumarate than with dimethyl maleate. With scrupulously pure dimethyl maleate a 2.8:1 endo:exo mixture of maleate DA adducts is still obtained. On the other hand, the desired meso diester 16 is obtained pure and in nearly quantitative yield by employing neat dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate as the dienophile, followed by catalytic hydrogenation. Reduction (LiAlH(4)) of 16 provides meso diol 19, which is then treated with Ac(2)O, BzCl, and PhCH(2)COCl to provide the corresponding meso diesters, 20-22. Screening of these meso benzoxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl substrate candidates across a battery of acyl transfer enzymes leads to an optimized match of diacetate 20 with PPL. Even on 10-20 g scales, asymmetry is efficiently introduced here, yielding the key chiral intermediate, monoacetate 25 (66% isolated yield, 83% corrected yield, 95% ee). Protecting group manipulation and oxidation (Swern) provide aldehyde 27b, which undergoes efficient retro-Michael ring opening to produce dihydronaphthalene 30, in which the C(3) and C(4) stereocenters are properly set. Following several unsuccessful approaches to the intramolecular delivery of ring E (via Claisen rearrangement, Heck-type cyclization, or radical cyclization), a highly diastereoselective, intermolecular conjugate addition of the arylcopper reagent derived from (3,4,5-trimethoxy)phenylmagnesium bromide and CuCN to acyl oxazolidinone 50 was developed (85% yield, only the required alpha-stereochemistry at C(1) is observed). The conjugate addition product is converted to (-)-picropodophyllin in two steps (lactonization, SEM deprotection) or to (-)-podophyllotoxin, in three steps, through the introduction of a C(2)-epimerization step, under Kende conditions, prior to the final conjugate addition.",10.1021/jo991582+,2000-01-14,0.6100116252207025 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Regioselective Enolization and Alkylation of 4-Oxo-N-(9-phenylfluoren-9-yl)proline:  Synthesis of Enantiopure Proline−Valine and Hydroxyproline−Valine Chimeras,"The regioselective enolization of 4-oxo- N -(9-phenylfluoren-9-yl)proline benzyl ester ( 5 ) followed by alkylation with different alkyl halides has been used to synthesize a variety of β-alkylproline derivatives.

Subsequent hydride reduction of ketone 7a and protecting group exchange by hydrogenation in the presence of di- tert -butyl dicarbonate provided enantiopure (2 S,4R )- and (2 S,4S )-3,3-dimethyl-4-hydroxy- N -(BOC)prolines 2 .

The transition-state inhibitor 1 described by Bartlett, Kozlowski, and co-workers is the most potent reported inhibitor to date of CUEs. Herein, we disclose a concise asymmetric synthesis and the accompanying biochemical characterization of 1 along with three closely related analogues beginning from bromobenzene cis -1 S,2 S -dihydrodiol produced through microbial oxidation that features a series of regio- and stereoselective transformations for introduction of the C-4 hydroxy and C-6 amino substituents. The flexible synthesis enables late-stage introduction of the carboxy group and other bioisosteres at the C-1 position as well as installation of the enol–pyruvate side chain at the C-5 position.",10.1021/acs.joc.6b02801,2017-03-10,0.6079924412948928 European Journal of Organic Chemistry,"Total Synthesis of (+)‐Hyacinthacine A1, (+)‐7a‐epi‐Hyacinthacine A1, (6R)‐6‐Hydroxyhyacinthacine A1 and (6S)‐6‐Hydroxy‐7a‐epi‐hyacinthacine A1","Abstract The total synthesis of natural (+)‐hyacinthacine A 1 ( 6 ), (+)‐7a‐ epi ‐hyacinthacine A 1 ( 7 ) and their 6‐hydroxy analogues 21 and 16 was achieved using a nitrone cycloaddition strategy with D ‐ribose‐derived cyclic nitrone 8 as the dipole and tert ‐butyl acrylate as the dipolarophile.

Bond cleavage between C‐1 and C‐2 afforded a 5‐deoxy‐ D ‐ threo ‐pentose intermediate. ( E )‐Selective Wittig reaction with a C 14 ‐chain gave a C 19 ‐intermediate, which was readily transformed into homosphingosine. Formation of a cyclic urethane containing the 3‐amino and the 4‐hydroxy group of the C 19 ‐intermediate permitted regioselective introduction of the phosphonate group at C‐1, thus affording the target molecule after deprotection. In a second and shorter route, C 18 ‐sphingosine was converted to a cyclic urethane containing the 2‐amino and the 3‐hydroxy group of the C 18 ‐chain. C 1 ‐Chain extension by a hydroxymethyl group by introduction of cyanide led to the same C 19 cyclic urethane as obtained in the first route. Similarly, the C 18 cyclic urethane led to the other target molecule, namely sphingosine‐1‐phosphonate. The third and shortest route to homosphingosine‐1‐phosphonate could be based on regioselective 1‐ O ‐tosylation of 1,2,3‐(trihydroxy)octadec‐4‐ene. Transformation into a 1,2‐epoxide, then combination of C 1 ‐chain extension and introduction of a phosphonate group with methylphosphonate as reagent, and finally azide introduction, led after functional group liberation to the target molecule.

The isolation of 1,3-dioxa-2-stannolanes, along with other product and labeling studies, provides strong support for the proposed homolytic substitution step, which distinguishes the pinacol cyclization from other reductive cyclizations of tin ketyls, all of which proceed through abstraction of hydrogen from Bu(3)SnH in the final step.

A Lewis acid-mediated cycloetherification reaction was used to establish the tetrahydrofuran core of these molecules. Interestingly, a slight alteration of the Crimmins’ non-Evans syn aldol protocol led to the complete conversion of the aldol adduct to the core tetrahydrofuran ring of davanoids, thus essentially dovetailing two important steps in the synthesis.

Rovafovir etalafenamide is assembled in a four-step sequence beginning from the nucleoside core and an elaborated phosphonamidate alcohol. The assembly starts with a decarboxylative elimination of a β-hydroxyacid to yield the corresponding cyclic enol ether, which is subsequently coupled to a functionalized phosphonamidate alcohol in an iodoetherification reaction. Oxidative syn elimination then installs the required fluoroalkene, after which a final deprotection reaction yields the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Understanding the genesis, fate, and purge of the des -fluoro analog of the API, a mitochondrial toxin, proved to be a central driver in the development of the manufacturing route and impurity control strategy. Initial control strategies revolved around the use of silica gel chromatography or simulated moving bed chromatography to purge the des -fluoro impurity to an acceptable level, but ultimately a chromatography-free approach to mitigate the formation of this impurity was devised that expanded manufacturing flexibility. Design of experiments was used to improve the iodoetherification fragment coupling reaction and to reduce the level of the des -fluoro impurity formed in this step.

A pivotal step of the highly convergent routes to these structurally rather unusual secondary metabolites consists of a syn-selective formation of allenol 17 by an iron-catalyzed ring opening reaction of the enantioenriched propargyl epoxide 16 (derived from a Sharpless epoxidation) with a Grignard reagent. Allenol 17 was then cyclized with the aid of Ag(I) to give dihydrofuran 19 containing the (R)-configured tetrasubstituted sp3 chiral center at C.19, which was further elaborated into tetrahydrofuran 25 representing the common heterocyclic motif of 1 and 2. The aliphatic chain of amphidinolide X featuring an anti-configured stereodiad at C.10 and C.11 was generated by a palladium-catalyzed, Et2Zn-promoted addition of the enantiopure propargyl mesylate 29 to the functionalized aldehyde 28. The preparation of the corresponding C.1-C.12 segment of amphidinolide Y relies on asymmetric hydrogenation of an alpha-ketoester, a diastereoselective boron aldol reaction, and a chelate-controlled addition of MeMgBr in combination with suitable oxidation state management for the elaboration of the tertiary acyloin motif. Importantly, the end games of both total syntheses follow similar blueprints, involving key fragment coupling processes via the ""9-MeO-9-BBN"" variant of the alkyl-Suzuki reaction and final Yamaguchi esterifications to forge the 16-membered macrodiolide ring of amphidinolide X and the 17-membered macrolide frame of amphidinolide Y, respectively.

The triflate underwent palladium‐catalysed amination with benzophenone imine. Amination conditions required sequential base addition to give substantial conversion of the triflate to the corresponding N ‐substituted benzophenone imine. After acidic hydrolysis the resulting aniline was transformed into the 2‐fluoro compound via the Balz–Schiemann reaction.

The approach relied on the synthesis and coupling of the individual spiroketal fragments 3a and 3b with the C1-C17 polyproprionate fragment 4. The preparation of the spiroketal fragments was achieved using chiral (E)-crotylsilane bond construction methodology, which allowed the introduction of the stereogenic centers prior to spiroketalization.

Attachment of the lateral fatty acid chains to the lactide core thus formed features not only one of the most advanced ligand-controlled addition reactions of a functionalized dialkyl zinc reagent to a polyfunctional aldehyde, but also a highly demanding Julia-Kocienski olefination of a tetrazolyl sulfone bearing electrophilic and base-labile beta-hydroxy ester motifs. By virtue of the flexibility of this synthesis plan, it was possible to prepare a series of macrodiolide cores differing only in the absolute stereochemistry at the branching points as well as a host of model compounds for the fatty acid appendices of cycloviracin. Comparison of these derivatives with the natural product allowed us to establish the as yet unknown absolute stereochemistry of 6 chiral centers of 1 as (3R,19S,25R,3'R,17'S,23'R). Thereby, the (13)C NMR shifts of the anomeric position of the beta-glycosides residing at those positions turned out to be excellent probes for the absolute configuration of the attached aglycones.

This novel methodology was elegantly applied in the stereoselective total synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids 167B and 209D. Further, the enantioselective total synthesis of natural and unnatural indolizidine alkaloids 167B and 209D was accomplished by using Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation as a key step.",10.1021/jo035258x,2004-04-01,0.6029160363945129 Tetrahedron,"Vicinal alkylation of alkynes.

However, the therapeutic use of these agents is associated with serious side effects, including potentially lethal respiratory depression. Accordingly, there is a longstanding interest in the development of new opioid analgesics with improved therapeutic profiles. The alkaloids of the Southeast Asian plant Mitragyna speciosa, represented by the prototypical member mitragynine, are an unusual class of opioid receptor modulators with distinct pharmacological properties. Here we describe the first receptor-level functional characterization of mitragynine and related natural alkaloids at the human mu-, kappa-, and delta-opioid receptors. These results show that mitragynine and the oxidized analogue 7-hydroxymitragynine, are partial agonists of the human mu-opioid receptor and competitive antagonists at the kappa- and delta-opioid receptors. We also show that mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine are G-protein-biased agonists of the mu-opioid receptor, which do not recruit β-arrestin following receptor activation. Therefore, the Mitragyna alkaloid scaffold represents a novel framework for the development of functionally biased opioid modulators, which may exhibit improved therapeutic profiles. Also presented is an enantioselective total synthesis of both (-)-mitragynine and its unnatural enantiomer, (+)-mitragynine, employing a proline-catalyzed Mannich-Michael reaction sequence as the key transformation.

Based on our deeper biosynthetic understanding, a biomimetic total synthesis of (+)-nocardioazine B is accomplished in merely seven steps and 23.2% overall yield. This pathway accesses regio- and stereoselectively C3-isoprenylated analogs of (+)-nocardioazine B, using the same number of steps and in similar efficiency. The successful strategy mandated that the biomimetic C3-prenylation step be executed early. The use of an unprotected carboxylic acid of Trp led to high diastereoselectivity toward formation of key intermediates exo - 12a, exo - 12b, and exo - 12c (>19:1). Evidence shows that N 1-methylation causes the prenylation reaction to bifurcate away to result in a C2-normal-prenylated isomer.

The first step in the preparation of these highly functionalized intermediates is a Robinson annulation of the beta-keto ester 6 and the 4-silyl-3-buten-2-one 5 to furnish the octalone 4 with good diastereoselectivity in fair yield (due to competition with a novel silicon-to-carbon phenyl migration). Reduction of the epoxy alcohol 3 (derived from 4 in two high-yielding steps) with LiAlH(4) gave a mixture of the desired triol 11 along with the product of an unusual reductive opening at the tertiary carbon, namely the triol 12. A plausible mechanism for this unusual reduction is presented as are possible methods for avoiding it. In particular, reduction of the corrresponding epoxy ketone 15 with aluminum amalgam proceeded in good yield to give the hydroxy ketone 16. Also reduction of the epoxide ester having the inverted stereochemistry at C3 afforded the desired tertiary alcohol 33 in good yield.

This article describes the complete details of that work as it illustrates the utility of our developing chiral ( E )-crotylsilane bond construction methodology in total synthesis. All four stereogenic centers were introduced using chiral allylsilane bond construction methodology. In the synthesis of subunit 3b, the C12 and C13 stereocenters were installed using an asymmetric crotylsilylation reaction to α-keto dibenzyl acetal 5 . The C11 stereocenter was subsequently installed via a chelate-controlled addition of allyltrimethylsilane to establish the anti -1,3-diol system. The C14−C15 trisubstituted double bond was then installed via a reductive opening of α,β-unsaturated lactone 10b . Aromatic subunit 4b was chosen on the basis of its synthon equivalency to the amidobenzoquinone system of (+)- 1c and (+)- 1d . Subunit 4b was constructed in a concise six-step sequence which incorporates the C3 stereogenic center of the C1−C5 side chain. The C3 stereogenic center was established using a Weinreb amidation of aniline 18 with lactone (+)- 16, whose absolute stereochemistry was derived using the crotylsilane methodology. The union of subunit 3b with aromatic subunit 4b was accomplished using a sulfone-based coupling strategy. Coupling product 21 was transformed through a sequence of steps to triene 24 .

Thus, the readily accessible chiral dihydropyrrole 58 was first converted in a single chemical operation into the key tricyclic intermediate 60. Two ring-closing metathesis reactions were then used to form the 13- and 8-membered rings leading to Z-72 and 74, the latter of which was quickly elaborated into ircinal A (5) via ircinol A (75).

The steroidal 6/6/6/5‐membered carbocycle (ABCD‐ring) is U‐shaped and functionalized with two double bonds, a six‐membered C3‐hemiacetal across the AB‐ring, a seven‐membered oxazepane on the CD‐ring, and a dimethylpyrrolecarboxy group at the D‐ring carbon chain. These structural features present an unusual and formidable synthetic challenge. Herein we report a total synthesis of batrachotoxin based on a newly devised convergent strategy through a 22‐step sequence. Enantiopure AB‐ring and D‐ring fragments were prepared and subjected to a crucial C(sp 2 )−C(sp 2 ) coupling reaction. Although both C(sp 2 ) centers were sterically encumbered by proximal tetrasubstituted carbon atoms, Ag 2 O strongly promoted the Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ‐catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction at room temperature, thereby connecting the two fragments without damaging their preexisting functionalities. Subsequent treatment with t ‐BuOK induced Dieckmann condensation to cyclize the C‐ring.

An initial synthetic supply route to generate ketone 3 relied on the generation of a highly reactive transient intermediate and the use of n -butyllithium. Cryogenic temperatures (−60 °C) were also required to achieve a modest 61% yield, with one major impurity, resulting from dehalogenation, accounting for the majority of the mass balance.

To achieve high yields for this conversion, the N−H of the BOC group in Weinreb amino acid amide 10 was deprotonated first with a simple Grignard reagent (methyl or benzylmagnesium halide) followed by Barbier reaction with magnesium metal and 2-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxane. The acetal group in 11 was opened oxidatively with ozone, and the resulting ester 15 was reduced selectively at low temperature with N -Selectride. Alternatively, the ketone moiety in 11 was reduced diastereoselectively with aluminum triisopropoxide in 2-propanol to give the undesired ( R, S )-diastereomeric alcohol.

A central 4-amino-4-deoxyundecose of 1 possesses 10 contiguous stereocenters on a C1–C11 linear chain and is decorated with a cytosine base at C1 and a 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose at C6-OH. These distinctive structural features of 1 make it an extremely challenging target for de novo construction. Herein, we report a convergent total synthesis of 1 from four known components: 3-azide-3-deoxyglucose derivative 4, bis-TMS-cytosine 5, d -mannose 9, and d -galactose derivative 10 . We first designed and devised a novel radical coupling reaction between multiply hydroxylated aldehydes and α-alkoxyacyl tellurides. The generality and efficiency of this process was demonstrated by the coupling of 7c and 8, which were readily accessible from two hexoses, 9 and 10, respectively. Et 3 B and O 2 rapidly induced decarbonylative radical formation from α-alkoxyacyl telluride 8, and intermolecular addition of the generated α-alkoxy radical to aldehyde 7c yielded 4-amino-4-deoxyundecose 6-α with installation of the desired C5,6-stereocenters. Subsequent attachments of the cytosine with 5 and of the 3-azide-3-deoxyglucose with 4 were realized through selective activation of the C1-acetal and selective deprotection of the C6-hydroxy group. Finally, the 3 amino and 10 hydroxy groups were liberated in a single step to deliver the target 1 . Thus, the combination of the newly developed radical-coupling and protective-group strategies minimized the functional group manipulations and thereby enabled the synthesis of 1 from 10 in only 17 steps.

The first Wittig reaction coupled a fully functionalized benzene with a ribofuranose derivative to provide (Z)-6-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)-1,2-dideoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-allo-1-enitol (5) as the basic skeleton for the target compounds. The following electrophile-mediated intramolecular cyclization of the cis-alkene (5) was found to afford (1S,2S)-2,5-anhydro-1-bromo-6-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1-deoxy-1-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-allitol (8) as the major product. This alpha-stereoselectivity was contrary to the literature precedence. A double-bond isomerization was established to be the cause of the unexpected stereochemistry. The bromo group of 8 was displaced by a hydroxyl group. Oxidation of the hydroxy group and the reduction of a phenylnitro group provided (2S)-1-(2-amino-4,5-dichlorophenyl)-2,5-anhydro-6-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-allose (11), which was subjected to the second Wittig reaction with a phosphacumulene to construct 4-[5-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-d-ribofuranosyl]-6,7-dichloroquinolin-2-one (13). Halogenation followed by deprotection of 13 and led to the synthesis of 4-(alpha-d-ribofuranosyl)-2,6,7-trichloroquinoline (17) as the major product. The 2-aminophenone alpha-nucleoside (11) was successfully anomerized to the beta-anomer (19), which led to the synthesis of the targeted 2-chloro- and 2-bromo-6,7-dichloro-4-(beta-d-ribofuranosyl)quinolines (18and 21, respectively).",10.1021/jo020643s,2003-05-01,0.5976795739158319 Tetrahedron,"Stereocontrolled synthesis of (E,E,E)-chlorotrienes: Efficient intermediates for the construction of all E conjugated polyenes",,10.1016/s0040-4039(97)01156-8,1997-07-01,0.5976791689518942 Tetrahedron,"Asymmetric induction in the 1,7 ring closure of diene-conjugated diazo-compounds: a route to chiral 1h-2,3-benzodiazepines",,10.1016/s0040-4039(00)82347-3,1988-01-01,0.5976672411025564 Organic Letters,"Computer-Guided Design, Synthesis, and Protein Kinase C Affinity of a New Salicylate-Based Class of Bryostatin Analogs","Bryostatin 1 is in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer's disease and is a candidate for a first-in-class approach to HIV/AIDS eradication.

Ligands derived from trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane and 2-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid effect asymmetric alkylations with an allyl substrate bearing an electron-withdrawing group. On the other hand, a new type of ligand wherein the diamine is derivatized with both 2-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid and 2-picolinic acid was required to effect asymmetric cyclization to form the 9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]non-2-ene system.

The synthetic strategy includes indium-mediated coupling reactions between ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)acrylate and N-derivatized mannosamines, and the ozonolysis of the resulting enoates. The main advantage of this indium-mediated allylation for the synthesis of neuraminic acids comes from the efficient, stereoselective C-C bond formation, which affords predominantly the correct diastereomer having a threo relationship between the newly generated hydroxyl group and the C-2 amide group of mannosamine. By this approach, Neu5Boc (4a), Neu5Gly (4b), Neu5(6-NHCbz)hexanoyl (4c), and Neu5(1-naphthyl)acetyl (4d) were prepared in three steps (overall approximately 50%). In addition, several N-substituted neuraminic acids were synthesized by N-acylation of the amino functionality of neuraminic acid (5b), which was obtained by deprotecting the N-Boc group of Neu5Boc (4a).

The used synthetic routes are flexible and can be used to create a wide variety of lipophilic mono- and difunctionalized 1-deoxynojirimycin derivatives. The compounds reported here are lipophilic iminosugar based on lead compound 4, a potent inhibitor of the three enzymes involved in the metabolism of the glycosphingolipid glucosylceramide. Iminosugar-based inhibitors of glucosylceramide synthase, one of these three enzymes, have attracted increasing interest over the past decade due to the crucial role of this enzyme in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis. Combined with the fact that an increasing number of pathological processes are being linked to excessive glycosphingolipid levels, glucosylceramide synthase becomes a very attractive therapeutic and research target. Our results presented here demonstrate that relocating the lipophilic moiety from the nitrogen atom to other positions on the 1-deoxynojirimycin ring system does not lead to a more potent or selective inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase.

O-Phenyl oximes were found to be excellent precursors for iminyl radicals with a variety of acceptor side chains. Dihyropyrroles were made in good yields from O-phenyl oximes containing pent-4-ene acceptors. The analogous process with a hex-5-enyl acceptor did not yield a dihydropyridine, probably because the 6-exo-trig ring closure of the iminyl radical was too slow to compete with H-atom abstraction. The iminyl radical from a precursor with a pent-4-yne type side chain underwent ring closure followed by rearrangement to afford a pyrrole derivative. Suitably substituted iminyl radicals ring closed readily onto aromatic acceptors, thus enabling several polycyclic systems to be accessed. Quinolines were made from 3-phenylpropanones via their O-phenyl oximes. Syntheses of phenanthridines starting from 2-formylbiphenyls were particularly efficient, and this approach enabled the natural product trisphaeridine to be made. Starting from 2-phenylnicotinaldehyde derivatives, ring closures of the derived iminyl radicals onto the phenyl rings yielded benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridines. Similarly, ring closure onto a phenyl ring from a benzothiophene-based iminyl yielded a benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinoline. By way of contrast, iminyl radical ring closure onto pyridine rings was not observed. However, iminyl radicals did cyclize onto indoles, enabling indolopyridines to be prepared. The latter route was exploited in a short formal synthesis of neocryptolepine starting from 2-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)cyclohexanone.",10.1021/jo800847h,2008-06-13,0.596084590731641 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Synthesis of a Sulfonium Ion Analogue of the Glycosidase Inhibitor Swainsonine,"The synthesis of a bicyclic sulfonium ion analogue of a naturally occurring indolizidine alkaloid, swainsonine, in which the bridgehead nitrogen atom is replaced by a sulfonium ion, has been achieved by a multistep synthesis starting from (2S,3S,4R)-2,3-dibenzyloxy-4-formaldehyde-thiolane.

Although several initial protecting-group strategies unexpectedly failed at various stages of the endeavor, the successful approach to 1 involved the conversion of commercially available 5-nitrovanillin ( 10 ) into the prochiral diol 24 . The manipulations of the residues on the aromatic ring of 10 were straightforward, and the diol array in 24 was introduced by the hydride reduction of the malonate 23, which was in turn prepared by a nucleophilic substitution of the triflate 12 . Adjustment of alcohol-protecting groups to give 27 and refunctionalization of the aromatic nitro group led to the protected N -allylamine 36 . Elaboration of the diol array via a highly stereoselective Grignard addition furnished the diene 37 . Ring-closing metathesis of 37 using the Grubbs catalyst 34 cleanly afforded the benzazocine 38 . A tactic originally conceived for preparing 42 by introduction of the aziridine ring onto 38 was impractical because the iodo cyclization of the allylic tosylcarbamate 39 was neither efficient nor selective to give 40 . Hence, 38 was transformed into 49, which was a key intermediate in Fukuyama's elegant synthesis of racemic FR900482, thereby completing a formal synthesis of the alkaloid. The prochiral diol 24 was enzymatically desymmetrized using Pseudomonas species lipase to give 25 in 94% enantiomeric excess.

The required tricyclic ketone 33 was prepared by sequential Tebbe-Claisen rearrangement of lactones 29 and 30, which originated from the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of Danishefsky's diene to (5S)-5-(d-menthyloxy)-2(5H)-furanone (14). An allyl and a cyano group were introduced into the resulting adduct by means of stereocontrolled allylindation under aqueous Barbier-like conditions and by way of cyanotrimethylsilane, respectively. Following stereocontrolled nucleophilic addition of a methyl group to 33, ring A was elaborated by formation of the silyl enol ether, ytterbium triflate-catalyzed condensation with formaldehyde, O-silylation, and Cu(I)-promoted 1,4-addition of isopropylmagnesium chloride. The superfluous ketone carbonyl was subsequently removed and the second ether bridge introduced by means of oxymercuration chemistry. Only then was the exocyclic methylene group unmasked via elimination. An alternative approach to the alpha-carbinol diastereomer proceeds by initial alpha-oxygenation of 37 and ensuing 1,2-carbonyl transposition. Neither this series of steps nor the Wittig olefination to follow induced epimerization at C10. Through deployment of oxymercuration chemistry, it was again possible to elaborate the dual oxygen-bridge network of the target ring system. Oxidation of the organomercurial products with O(2) in the presence of sodium borohydride furnished 72, which was readily separated from its isomer 73 after oxidation to 61. Hydride attack on this ketone proceeded with high selectivity from the beta-direction to deliver (-)-60. Comparison of the high-field (1)H and (13)C NMR properties and polarity of synthetic 5 with natural material required that structural revision be made. Following a complete spectral reassessment of the structural assignments to many sclerophytin diterpenes, a general approach to sclerophytin A, three diastereomers thereof, and of sclerophytin B was devised. The presence of two oxygen bridges as originally formulated was thereby ruled out, and absolute configurations were properly determined. Key elements of the strategy include dihydroxylation of a medium-ring double bond, oxidation of the secondary hydroxyl in the two resulting diols, unmasking of an exocyclic methylene group at C-11, and stereocontrolled 1,2-reduction of the alpha-hydroxy ketone functionality made available earlier.",10.1021/ja011285y,2001-08-22,0.5944659465204382 Synlett,"A Convenient Synthesis of Dialkyl [[2-(Bromomethyl)aziridin-1-yl]methyl]phosphonates, New Heterocyclic β-Azaphosphonates","All articles of this category Dialkyl [[2-(bromomethyl)aziridin-1-yl]methyl] phosphonates were prepared in good yield by a convenient procedure involving the reaction of 1,3,5-triallylhexahydro[1,3,5]triazine with dialkyl phosphites, subsequent bromination and final ring closure upon treatment with sodium borohydride in methanol. azaphosphonates - aziridines - aziridinylmethyl phosphonates",10.1055/s-1998-1597,1998-02-01,0.5944569066708735 Tetrahedron,First asymmetric synthesis of chiral analogues of the novel immunosuppressant FTY720,,10.1016/s0040-4039(02)01925-1,2002-11-01,0.5944545886000042 Organic Letters,A Cascade Phosphinoylation/Cyclization/Desulfonylation Process for the Synthesis of 3-Phosphinoylindoles,"3-Phosphinoylindole derivatives play important roles as pharmaceutical drugs and ligands.

Its success depends heavily on the quality of the compound libraries used, and as such, the development of targeted libraries has emerged to enhance the effectiveness of HTS efforts.

We present a high-throughput synthesis-to-screening method for the efficient in-plate generation and immediate HTS of a deubiquitinase (DUB)-focused compound library.

In addition, 1 had also been identified as a possible lead in the quest for medication against cachexia, an often lethal muscle wasting syndrome affecting many immunocompromised or cancer patients. The short supply of these macrodiolides, however, rendered a more detailed biological assessment difficult. Therefore, a new synthetic approach to 1 and 2 has been devised, which centers on an unorthodox strategy for the formation of the highly isomerization-prone but essential Z, E-configured dienoate substructure embedded into the macrocyclic core. This motif was encoded in the form of a 2-pyrone ring and unveiled only immediately before macrocyclization by an unconventional iron-catalyzed ring opening/cross-coupling reaction, in which the enol ester entity of the pyrone gains the role of a leaving group. Since the required precursor was readily available by gold catalysis, this strategy rendered the overall sequence short, robust, and scalable. A surprisingly easy protecting group management together with a much improved end game for the formation of the trienyl side chain via a modern Stille coupling protocol also helped to make the chosen route practical.

Our in vivo studies with 12,13-desoxyepothilone B (dEpoB), have established that the desoxy compound is well tolerated and virtually curative against a variety of sensitive and resistant xenograft tumors in animal models. In light of these discoveries, we sought a chemical synthesis of dEpoB that would be able to support a serious and substantial discovery research program directed toward the clinical development of this molecule. The overall strategy for this endeavor assumed the ability to synthesize dEpoB from three constructs which include an achiral β,δ-diketo ester construct A, an ( S )-2-methylpentenal moiety B, and the thiazoyl-containing vinyl iodide moiety C . We envisioned that a diastereoselective aldol condensation between an achiral C5−C6 ( Z )-metalloenolate derived from construct A and an ( S )-2-methylalkanal fragment, B, would generate the desired C6−C7 bond.

However, the literature of the closely related 2,3,4-benzothiadiazepine 2,2-dioxides is rather scarce. Earlier we elaborated a synthesis of 5-aryl congeners variously substituted at the aromatic ring. In the present study, a new synthetic route was investigated via highly versatile intermediates, to extend the reaction to a wider aromatic substitution pattern and to the preparation of 5-alkyl and 5-H derivatives. The essence of this approach is, starting from benzaldehyde acetals, acetophenone and benzophenone ketals, to synthesize ortho-formyl- and ortho-acyl-arylmethanesulfonyl chlorides, which are suitable precursors of the target compounds. The synthesis was implemented as follows: ortho-lithiation of the corresponding acetals and ketals and subsequent treatment with paraformaldehyde, or alternatively in two steps, with DMF or ethyl formate, followed by reduction with NaBH4, led to the corresponding hydroxymethyl derivatives. Reaction of these latter with methanesulfonyl chloride gave mesylates that were used to S-alkylate thiourea to afford S-alkylisothiouronium salts. The final steps of the synthesis were carried out in a telescoped reaction. Treatment of the S-alkylisothiouronium salts with N-chlorosuccinimide resulted in the corresponding arylmethanesulfonyl chlorides. Subsequent reaction with hydrazine hydrate followed by an acidic treatment gave 2,3,4-benzothiadiazepine 2,2-dioxides.",10.1055/a-1797-5298,2022-03-14,0.59238263386117 Organic Process Research & Development,"N,N-Diethyl-(R)-[3-(2-aminopropyl)-1H-indol-7-yloxy]acetamide:  Its Process Chemistry Ranging from Enantiocontrolled Construction of the Chiral Amine Side Chain to Regioselective Functionalization of the Aromatic Starting Materials","To access N, N -diethyl-( R )-[3-(2-aminopropyl)-1 H -indol-7-yloxy]acetamide ( 3 ), a key intermediate for AJ-9677 ( 2 ) acting as a potent and selective agonist for β 3 -adrenergic receptors, the ( R )-configured 2-aminopropyl side chain of 3 is elaborated in three distinct ways: (1) chiral pool synthesis featuring the C-3 acylation of 7-benzyloxy-1 H -indole ( 4a ) with N -(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)- d -alanyl chloride ( 6 ); (2) resolution of (±)-3-(2-aminopropyl)-7-benzyloxy-1 H -indole ( 8 ) via diastereomeric salt formation with O, O -di- p -toluoyl l -(2 R,3 R )-tartaric acid ( 21 ) to obtain ( R )- 8; and (3) crystallization-induced dynamic resolution (CIDR) by entrainment which transforms N, N -diethyl-(±)-[3-( N -phthaloyl-2-aminopropanoyl)-1 H -indol-7-yloxy]acetamide ( 26 ) entirely into ( R )- 26 .

We here report that during the formation of QA, the key expansion of an indole to a quinoline relies on the activities of the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent protein TsrA and the flavoprotein TsrE. These proteins act in tandem to process the precursor 2-methyl- l-Trp through reversible transamination and selective oxygenation, thereby initiating a highly reactive rearrangement in which selective C2-N1 bond cleavage via hydrolysis for indole ring-opening is closely coupled with C2'-N1 bond formation via condensation for recyclization and ring expansion in the production of a quinoline ketone intermediate.

The route consists of three steps. In the first step, the starting material, 3-amino-2-chloropyridine, is N -ethylated by conversion into the acetimidate (1.25 equiv of trimethyl orthoacetate, 0.003 equiv of HOTs·H 2 O, neat; then distill off the MeOH to drive the amine/imidate equilibrium to imidate) followed by reduction with DIBAL (2.27 equiv, toluene, <−10 °C). In the second step, the N -ethyl derivative is heated in 5.13 equiv of piperazine at ∼170 °C in a closed system under moderate pressure (∼10 psig) to give 3-( N -ethylamino)-2-(1-piperazinyl)pyridine, which is purified by crystallization from water. An X-ray crystallographic study revealed that the crystal contains five molecules of water per molecule of 3-( N -ethylamino)-2-(1-piperazinyl)pyridine. The molecules pack in an interesting way, with two layers of piperazinylpyridine molecules sandwiched between layers of water molecules, as in the lipid bilayer structure of the biological cell membrane. The yield for the first two steps is 79.2% (overall, average of six plant runs). In the third step, the pentahydrate is coupled with 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (MICA; 1.07 equiv of CDI, CH 2 Cl 2, 30 °C, 2−3 h; then add 1.06 equiv of 3-( N -ethylamino)-2-(1-piperazinyl)pyridine, CH 2 Cl 2, 30 °C) to give atevirdine free base, which is converted into the mesylate salt (1.01 equiv of MeSO 3 H, methanol, 25 °C) and crystallized. The yield of the third step is 83.3% (overall from MICA; average of eight plant runs). The bulk drug typically contains <0.1% total impurities (by HPLC). This process was used to produce multiton quantities of bulk drug used in phase II clinical trials.",10.1021/op9600318,1997-03-01,0.5922632234179287 Synthesis,"One-Step Synthesis of Ethyl 3-Cyano-4,6-diary, 1-2-hydroxybenzoates",,10.1055/s-1982-29918,1982-01-01,0.5922619870588439 Journal of the American Chemical Society,Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Taxol,"Taxol is one of the most famous natural diterpenoids and an important anticancer medicine. Taxol represents a formidable synthetic challenge and has prompted significant interest from the synthetic community.

In fact, it has been demonstrated that sialylated multibranched L-lysine dendrimers were potent inhibitors of hemagglutination of human erythrocytes by Influenza viruses. In a continuation of these studies, the synthesis of novel glycodendrimers with even valencies from 2 to 16 and ending with equidistant thiosialoside residues is described. These symmetrical dendrimers were more readily characterized by standard NMR spectral techniques than previously reported nonsymmetrical dendrimers of this general type. The synthesis of the dendritic core was based on the regioselective protection of the primary amines of 3,3'-iminobis(propylamine) (4) using benzyl cyanoformate. The resulting secondary amine 5 was alkylated with tert-butyl bromoacetate to provide divalent core structure 6 with Cbz protected amines and acid protected tert-butyl ester. Sequential deprotection by trifluoroacetolysis or hydrogenation afforded acid 7 or diamine 8 as key precursors, respectively. The two fragments were coupled using HOBt/DIC strategy to provide Cbz-protected dendrimers with valencies of 2, 4, 8, and 16 in the first, second, third, and fourth generations, respectively, in reasonable to good yields (42-82%). Cbz-protected precursors were efficiently transformed into N-chloroacetylated dendrimers by hydrogenolysis and treatment of the resulting amines with chloroacetic anhydride (82-91%). N-Chloroacetylated dendrimers were then treated with an excess of 2-thiosialic acid derivative 3 to give fully protected sialodendrimers in 76-96% yields. Deprotection of sialodendrimers under Zemplén conditions followed by methyl ester saponification and purification by gel permeation chromatography afforded symmetrical dendritic alpha-thiosialosides 21, 23, 25, and 27 in fair yields (47-58%). These novel sialodendrimers, in keeping with their design, are currently being evaluated as inhibitors of human erythrocyte hemagglutination by Influenza viruses.",10.1021/jo961047z,1996-01-01,0.5919306519373438 Synlett,Palladium Catalyzed Polyene Cyclizations: An Approach to the Pentacyclic Carbon Framework of Halenaquinone and Xestoquinone,"(opens in new window) Buy Article (opens in new window) Permissions and Reprints (opens in new window) All articles of this category (opens in new window) A seven step synthesis of the pentacyclic framework of xestoquinone and halenaquinone is described beginning with 3-(hydroxymethyl)furan and 3-bromo-2-naphthoyl chloride utilizing, as the key step, a palladium catalyzed polyene cyclization.",10.1055/s-1994-22950,1994-01-01,0.591929263037683 Organic Process Research & Development,"The Synthesis of the High-Potency Sweetener, NC-00637.

An enantiocontrolled route to the diquinane sector was first developed from (4 R )-(+)- tert -butyldimethylsiloxycyclopentenone by taking advantage of the Michael acceptor properties of this enone and an α,β-unsaturated ester subsequently derived from it, viz., 4 → 7 → 8 . These experiments formed the basis for more advanced substitution of the bicyclo[3.3.0]octane core. In fact, ready access was gained to the α-hydroxy esters 24 − 27 . In these advanced intermediates, it is imperative that the acetyl and carbomethoxy groups bear a trans 1,3-relationship. The neighboring OR substituent should preferably be larger than methoxy in order to guarantee 100% facial selectivity during the ensuing capture by 1 (as its lithiated derivative). This condensation leads unidirectionally to tricyclic lactones represented by 30 and 31 and sets the stage for implementation of sequential Tebbe olefination and Claisen rearrangement. This pivotal two-step process gives rise directly to the targeted tetracyclic framework. The further oxygenation of 35 can be accomplished in a highly stereoselective manner to give 3 . The characteristics of the [3.3] sigmatropic event that results in ring expansion plays a significant role in defining absolute configuration at key carbon centers which would otherwise be difficult to establish unequivocally.

The DDQ-mediated oxidative cyclization and TFA/Et3SiH reductive cleavage served as protection/deprotection steps in order to provide a versatile entry into the voachalotine alkaloids.",10.1021/jo052081t,2005-12-08,0.5914875234278039 Journal of Organic Chemistry,"Conformationally Constrained Dipeptide Surrogates with Aromatic Side-Chains:  Synthesis of 4-Aryl Indolizidin-9-one Amino Acids by Conjugate Addition to a Common α,ω-Diaminoazelate Enone Intermediate","Four methyl 9-oxo-8-(N-(Boc)-amino)-4-phenyl-1-azabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane carboxylates (11, 4-Ph-I(9)aa-OMe) were synthesized from (2S,8S,5E)-di-tert-butyl-4-oxo-5-ene-2,8-bis[N-(PhF)amino]azelate [(5E)-7, PhF = 9-(9-phenylfluorenyl)] via a seven-step process featuring a conjugate addition/reductive amination/lactam cyclization sequence. Various nucleophiles were used in the conjugate addition reactions on enone (5E)-7 as a general route for making alpha,omega-diaminoazelates possessing different substituents in good yield albeit low diastereoselectivity except in the case of aryl Grignard reagents (9/1 to 15/1 drs). 6-Phenylazelates (6S)-8d and (6R)-8d were separated by chromatography and diastereoselective precipitation and independently transformed into 4-Ph-I(9)aa-OMe.

A Concise and Protecting Group-Free Synthesis of Mycothiazole,"A protecting group-free strategy is presented for diastereo- and enantioselective routes that can be used to prepare a wide variety of Z -homoallylic alcohols with significantly higher efficiency than is otherwise feasible. The approach entails the merger of several catalytic processes and is expected to facilitate the preparation of bioactive organic molecules. More specifically, Z- chloro-substituted allylic pinacolatoboronate is first obtained through stereoretentive cross-metathesis between Z -crotyl-B(pin) (pin = pinacolato) and Z -dichloroethene, both of which are commercially available. The organoboron compound may be used in the central transformation of the entire approach, an α- and enantioselective addition to an aldehyde, catalyzed by a proton-activated, chiral aminophenol-boryl catalyst. Catalytic cross-coupling can then furnish the desired Z -homoallylic alcohol in high enantiomeric purity. The olefin metathesis step can be carried out with substrates and a Mo-based complex that can be purchased. The aminophenol compound that is needed for the second catalytic step can be prepared in multigram quantities from inexpensive starting materials. A significant assortment of homoallylic alcohols bearing a Z -F 3 C-substituted alkene can also be prepared with similar high efficiency and regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. What is more, trisubstituted Z -alkenyl chloride moiety can be accessed with similar efficiency albeit with somewhat lower α-selectivity and enantioselectivity. The general utility of the approach is underscored by a succinct, protecting group-free, and enantioselective total synthesis of mycothiazole, a naturally occurring anticancer agent through a sequence that contains a longest linear sequence of nine steps (12 steps total), seven of which are catalytic, generating mycothiazole in 14.5% overall yield.",10.1021/jacs.9b11178,2019-12-24,0.5914637430867752 Organic Letters,"Construction of the [6,5,7,5] Tetracyclic Core of Calyciphylline A Type Alkaloids via a Tandem Semipinacol Rearrangement/Nicholas Reaction","A novel and efficient approach toward the assembly of the synthetically challenging tetracyclic [6,5,7,5] core structure of calyciphylline A-type alkaloids is developed.

This article documents the evolution of a synthetic program aimed at accessing the flagship metabolites curvulamine and curindolizine which are presumably a dimer and trimer of a C 10 N biosynthetic building block, respectively. Starting with curvulamine, we detail several strategies to merge two simple, bioinspired fragments, which while ultimately unsuccessful, led us toward a pyrroloazepinone building block-based strategy and an improved synthesis of this 10π-aromatic heterocycle. A two-step annulation process was then designed to forge a conserved tetracyclic bis-pyrrole architecture and advanced into a variety of late-stage intermediates; unfortunately, however, a failed decarboxylation thwarted the total synthesis of curvulamine. By tailoring our annulation precursors, success was ultimately found through the use of a cyanohydrin nucleophile which enabled a 10-step total synthesis of curvulamine. Attempts were then made to realize a biomimetic coupling of curvulamine with an additional C 10 N fragment to arrive at curindolizine, the most complex family member. Although unproductive, we developed a 14-step total synthesis of this alkaloid through an abiotic coupling approach. Throughout this work, effort was made to harness and exploit the innate reactivity of the pyrrole nucleus, an objective which has uncovered many interesting findings in the chemistry of this reactive heterocycle.",10.1021/jacs.0c13465,2021-02-11,0.5910781716245379 Organic Letters,"Stereocontrolled Generation of the (2R) Chroman Core of Vitamin E: Total Synthesis of (2R,4′RS,8′RS)-α-Tocopherol","(2R,4'RS,8'RS)-alpha-tocopherol (1) was prepared using, as the two key steps, a novel diastereoselective TiCl(4)-promoted (S)-sulfoxide-directed allylation of ketal 2 with allyl trimethyl silane 3 to efficiently generate the challenging (2R) stereocenter of the chroman moiety and a cross-metathesis reaction with olefin 4 to efficiently join the lipophilic alkyl chain present in the final target.",10.1021/ol9020783,2009-09-30,0.5910713803420212 Tetrahedron,"An efficient chiral synthesis of fluoro-containing amino acids: N-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-amino-4,4-difluorobutyric acid methyl ester and its analogs",,10.1016/j.tetlet.2007.11.163,2007-12-05,0.5910687819900817 Organic Letters,Formal Syntheses of Naturally Occurring Welwitindolinones,"The formal syntheses of N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate, N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile, N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile, 3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate, and 3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile are reported.

Molephantin, a highly oxygenated germacranolide isolated from medicinal plants, Elephantopus mollis and Elephantopus tomentosus , has exhibited antitumor, inflammatory, and leishmanicidal activities.

The synthesis of the 4,5‐ cis ‐4,5‐dihydroxypipecolic acids required the preparation from 2‐deoxy‐ D ‐ and ‐ L ‐ribose of the enantiopure cis ‐(4 S ,5 R )‐ and ‐(4 R ,5 S )‐4,5‐dihydroxy‐δ‐valerolactam, respectively. These new chiral synthons are potentially useful for the synthesis of other natural products. The key step is the Pd‐catalyzed methoxycarbonylation reaction of the enol phosphates generated from these lactams. This reaction provided enecarbamate esters that were easily converted by stereoselective reduction to the target compounds. The synthesis of the 4,5‐ trans ‐4,5‐dihydroxypipecolic acid, as well as of 5‐hydroxypipecolic acids, was realized from a known ( S )‐5‐hydroxy‐δ‐valerolactam derivative and, for the dihydroxylated compound, required a highly stereoselective allylic bromination reaction of the enecarbamate ester obtained by methoxycarbonylation of the enol phosphate. The preparation of the (4 R ,5 S ) enantiomer of the cis ‐4,5‐dihydroxy‐δ‐valerolactam from 2‐deoxy‐ L ‐ribose, alongside the fact that ( R )‐5‐hydroxy‐δ‐valerolactam can be prepared from ( R )‐(–)‐γ‐hydroxymethyl‐γ‐butyrolactone, means our approach allows for the synthesis of all stereoisomers of these compounds, which can be employed as conformationally constrained scaffolds in drug discovery.",10.1002/ejoc.201201429,2013-01-21,0.5899051642719283 Journal of Organic Chemistry,A Practical Synthesis of Kifunensine Analogues as Inhibitors of Endoplasmic Reticulum α-Mannosidase I,"[reaction: see text] A practical synthesis of the potent class I alpha-mannosidase inhibitor kifunensine (1) beginning from the inexpensive and readily available starting material L-ascorbic acid (15) is described.

Reaction steps comprise an initial aza-Michael addition starting from cheap prochiral compounds, subsequent enzymatic resolution via aminolysis using commercially available Candida antarctica lipase B in a solvent-free one-pot process, hydrolysis of the resulting ester and removal of the N-benzyl moiety via hydrogenation. After isolation, the desired (S)-3-aminobutanoic acid was obtained in an overall yield of 28% and with an excellent enantiomeric excess of 99% ee. Notably, this reaction sequence does not require column chromatography with organic solvents and only one purification step of an intermediate is needed.

The results confirm the observation that the stereochemistry at C22 of the ketone is determinant to the diastereoselectivity of the aldol reaction. The synthesized C13-C25 fragment having a methoxyacetoxy group at C15 is considered as a useful precursor for construction of the 16-membered ring lactone of 24-demethylbafilomycin C1 through an aldol condensation of the methoxyacetate followed by formation of the C12-C13 double bond via a diene-ene RCM reaction.",10.1021/jo070624o,2007-05-23,0.5897728540952015 Tetrahedron,Asymmetric heck reaction.

The 5/7/6/3-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) of 1 contains 11 contiguous stereocenters and seven oxygen-containing functional groups. Moreover, four of the six hydroxy groups of 1 are concentrated in the southern sector and flanked by four structurally different acyl groups. The dense array of various functional groups with disparate reactivities on the tetracyclic ABCD-ring presents a daunting challenge for the chemical synthesis of 1 . As a reflection of its formidable complexity, synthesis of 1 or any other premyrsinane diterpenoids has not yet been reported. Here, we devised a novel strategy comprising two stages and achieved the first total synthesis of 1 (35 steps as the longest linear sequence). In the first stage, the ABCD-ring was expeditiously assembled by integrating three powerful transformations: (1) Pt-doped TiO 2 -catalyzed radical coupling to attach a northern chain to a 6/3-membered CD-ring, (2) Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylation to construct a quaternary carbon with a southern chain, and (3) a Co-mediated Pauson–Khand reaction to cyclize the two chains into the 5/7-membered AB-ring. In the second stage, three-dimensional structures of the ABCD-ring intermediates were utilized to stereoselectively fabricate the A-ring and site-selectively append the four different acyl groups. In the present total synthesis, we revealed the significance of orchestrating the multistep reaction sequence and incorporating cyclic protective groups. The overall strategy and tactics provide new insights into designing synthetic routes to premyrsinanes and densely oxygenated terpenoids decorated with diverse acyl groups.",10.1021/jacs.4c14520,2024-12-02,0.589503878860098 Organic Letters,Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Anti-HBV Drug Entecavir: Catalytic Strategies for the Stereospecific Construction of Densely Substituted Cyclopentene Cores,"We have successfully accomplished a catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of entecavir, a first-line antihepatitis B virus medication.

As a model study, treatment of iodo compound 7 with n-BuLi at -100 degrees C effected metal-halogen exchange and subsequent anionic cyclization to afford perhydrobenzofuranone 8. For the total synthesis of subunit 3, compound 9 was dihydroxylated to give diol 10. Protection of the hydroxyl groups of diol 10 gave compound 11.

On iodination followed by Luche reduction, enone 12 yielded alpha-iodo allylic alcohol 14, which on alkylation afforded ether 15. Conversion of the ester unit of 15 into a Weinreb amide group followed by anionic cyclization gave enone 17. 1,4-Addition of (MeOCH(2))(2)CuCNLi(2) to enone 17 followed by cleavage of the acetal unit afforded ketone 19.

Here, we report on a general and efficient sequence for the asymmetric synthesis of both of these sulfoximine substitution patterns. The asymmetric synthesis of sulfilimine intermediates by the first Ru-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of sulfenamides enables the first examples of enantioselective S -alkylation with monosubstituted diazo compounds.

The method, which uses ( S )‐pyroglutamic acid as a chiral starting material, is based on the ring opening of N ‐protected γ‐lactams by alkyl phenyl sulfone carbanions, followed by desulfonylation and reductive amination of alkyl γ‐amino ketones. The diastereoselectivity depends on the substitution of the starting γ‐lactams, and on the alkyl group of the phenyl sulfone. Total cis diastereoselectivity was observed in the formation of tert ‐butyl 5‐alkylprolinates. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

However, their synthesis remains challenging since it must control the relative and absolute stereochemistry of two stereocenters in the five-membered ring. Several promising routes yield a key intermediate dioxolane as a mixture of diastereomers (epimers at the 2-position of the dioxolane), but separation of these diastereomers by silica gel chromatography is tedious and expensive. In this paper, we report that two inexpensive, commercially available proteases α-chymotrypsin and bovine pancreatic protease discriminate between the cis and trans diastereomers of 2( R,S )-benzyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4( S )-carboxylic acid methyl ester. Although hydrolysis occurs at a carboxyl group three bonds away from the 2-stereocenter, the diastereoselectivity is high ( D = 29−35, favoring trans). We discovered these selective hydrolases by screening a library of 91 commercial hydrolases with our previously developed stereoselectivity screens that use pH indicators. A small-scale α-chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of a 2:1 mixture of cis- and trans -dioxolane methyl esters yielded the desired cis -dioxolane methyl ester in >98% diastereomeric excess and 55% overall yield (67% was the maximum possible yield). Computer modeling of transition-state analogues of both diastereomers in the active site of α-chymotrypsin suggests that stereoselectivity arises because the slow-reacting diastereomer binds in a nonproductive orientation.",10.1021/jo990757c,1999-11-19,0.5878426425997202 Organic Letters,"δ-Amino β-Keto Esters, a Designed Polyfunctionalized Chiral Building Block for Alkaloid Synthesis.

Utilizing methodology developed by Comins, the tetrasubstituted piperidine A-ring unit of the hepatotoxin was efficiently constructed. The two remaining stereocenters in the natural product were then set by a stereospecific intramolecular N-sulfinylurea Diels-Alder cyclization/Grignard ring opening/allylic sulfoxide [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement sequence previously developed in these laboratories, leading to key intermediate 29. The stereochemical assignment of alcohol 29, which contains all six of the stereogenic centers of the natural product, was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure determination of a derivative. Installation of the D-ring uracil moiety was effected by using our new methodology developed for this purpose, and construction of the C-ring guanidine completed the total synthesis of racemic structure 1. However, the (1)H NMR data for this compound do not match that of cylindrospermopsin, but instead agree with the data reported for 7-epicylindrospermopsin, a minor toxic metabolite that co-occurs with cylindrospermopsin. Therefore, we propose a revision of the stereochemical assignments of these natural products such that cylindrospermopsin is now represented as structure 2 and 7-epicylindrospermopsin is 1. This reassignment was further confirmed by Mitsunobu inversion of the C-7 alcohol 51 to epimer 52, and conversion of this compound to tetracyclic diol 57, which has previously been transformed to cylindrospermopsin (2).",10.1021/ja020032h,2002-03-22,0.5877541422542436 Tetrahedron,A convenient synthetic route for alkynylselenides from alkynyl bromides and diaryl diselenides employing copper(I)/imidazole as novel catalyst system,,10.1016/j.tetlet.2008.06.071,2008-06-20,0.5877528034992213 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Synthesis of (±)-Gymnomitrol.

Each of these enantiomers allowed differentiation of the carboxy functions and generation of a 2-hydroxyethyl group on the cyclopropanes, thus affording access to any or all four stereoisomers.

As a key step, a ring‐closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) of an ester substrate featuring 1‐propynyl termini was used. The carboxylic part of the substrate was easily assembled using alkyne chemistry, like carboxylation of a diyne followed by isomerization of the ynoate section to a dienoate and dihydroxylation of the 4,5‐double bond. The synthesis of the alcohol part of the ester started with opening of ( R )‐propylene oxide with an acetylide and was followed by two triple bond migrations. After successful RCAM which formed the C8−C9 bond, the triple bond was selectively hydrogenated to the corresponding alkene before the 4,5‐diol was oxidized to the 5‐hydroxy‐4‐oxo derivative. At this stage, the thioether was formed and the 8,9‐double bond reduced. We also prepared the 8,9‐didehydro analog of berkeleylactone A.

The fungal iterative megasynthases use terminal thioesterase/claisen cyclase (TE/CLC) domains to direct the fate of the polyketide chains. In this work, we present two strategies toward redirecting the cyclization steps of fungal PKSs using the Gibberella fujikuroi PKS4. First, inactivation or removal of the TE/CLC domain resulted in the synthesis of the new polyketide SMA93 2. Complementation of the mutant PKS4 with a standalone TE/CLC domain restored the regioselective cyclization steps of PKS4 and led to the synthesis of SMA76 1, demonstrating that cyclization enzymes can interact with the megasynthase in trans. This led to the second approach in which various dissociated, bacterial tailoring enzymes were added to the megasynthase in trans. Addition of the act KR led to the synthesis of mutactin 3, while the addition of first ring and second ring cyclases yielded anthraquinone compounds DMAC 5 and SEK26 6.

The versatility of this commercially available, but racemic, four-carbon building block becomes significantly enhanced via conversion of both enantiomers into a single enantiomeric product. The concept is explored in the context of a synthesis of vinylglycinol with phthalimide as the nitrogen source. The success of the project required a new design of the ligand for palladium wherein additional conformational restraints were introduced. Thus, the phthalimide derivative of vinylglycinol was obtained in nearly quantitative yield and had an ee of 98% which, upon crystallization, was enhanced to >99%. This one-step synthesis of a protected form of vinylglycinol provided short practical syntheses of the title compounds. Vigabatrin requires only four steps, and ethambutol six. The intermediate to the existing synthesis of ethambutol is available in 87% yield in three steps. (R )-Serine derives from oxidative cleavage of the double bond.

The key strategic element of this novel approach is a stereoselective, 6-exo-trig selective, electrophilic cyclization of the appropriate open chain precursor 4 by means of phenylselenyl triflate. The open chain precursor was formed by the addition of lithiated iodide 18 accessible from D-galactose to open chain aldehyde 5a obtained from D-glucono-delta-lactone by chain elongation. Subsequent C1-incorporation using Tebbe-reagent, formation of a cyclic carbonate, and deprotection of the two isopropylidene ketals afforded tetrol 4 which, upon treatment with phenylselenyl triflate, was stereoselectively cyclized in a 6-exo-trig selective manner. A selena-Pummerer rearrangement, oxidation, and esterification readily led to methyl ester 37 which, after deacetylation, could be regioselectively tetrabenzoylated with benzoyl cyanide. Triflate activation of the axial hydroxyl group in 40 and nucleophilic displacement by azide ion with inversion of configuration afforded azide 41, which was reduced with hydrogen and Pearlman's catalyst.

In the present work, a modified aldehyde is coupled with methyl γ‐methylene‐β‐tetronate, in a substantially higher yield. Asymmetric synthesis of this aldehyde is based on the use of the widely available and cheap Amano lipase AK. In addition, the development of a highly convenient one‐pot oxidation‐IMDA reaction protocol obviates the isolation of the sensitive IMDA‐precursor and augments the yield towards the carbocyclic skeleton of abysssomicin C and atrop ‐abyssomicin C.",10.1002/ejoc.202000671,2020-07-10,0.5854546470074818 Tetrahedron,Remarkably chemoselective indium-mediated coupling en route to the C21–C40 acyclic portion of the azaspiracids,,10.1016/s0040-4039(00)02157-2,2001-01-01,0.5854468638702405 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Stereoselective Pd-Catalyzed Synthesis of Quaternary α-d-C-Mannosyl-(S)-amino Acids,"In this paper, we report the stereoselective synthesis of α-D-C-mannosyl-(S)-amino acids exploiting, as a key step, an allylic alkylation of glycal-derived π-allyl Pd(II) intermediates, prepared by oxidative addition of Pd(0) species to 2,3-unsaturated pyranosides (pseudoglycals).

Ethyl ketone 14 was synthesized from methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate (16a) by way of a Weinreb amide. A highly syn-selective tin(II)-mediated aldol reaction between 14 and aldehyde 15, prepared from (R)-propionate 16b, proceeded smoothly, and subsequent reduction gave diol 13, which was transformed into 3, incorporating a C(3),C(5)-MP acetal moiety, by taking advantage of convertible MPM protecting groups. Another fragment, 4, with C(3)-O-methyl and C(5)-O-MPM groups, was also synthesized. A crucial step was the selective transformation of C(2),C(3)-diol 21 into C(2)-O-TBS, C(3)-O-Me compound 22.",10.1002/1099-0690(200110)2001:19<3615::aid-ejoc3615>3.0.co;2-p,2001-10-01,0.5851677413736626 Tetrahedron,"(±) 4β-amino-2α,3α-dihydroxy-1β-cyclopentanemethanol hydrochloride.

These include the bis(dihydrodiols) and phenolic dihydrodiols which may potentially undergo further metabolism to the corresponding diol epoxides. The latter react with DNA resulting in mutations that lead to tumorigenesis. Prior characterization of these metabolites has been based largely on HPLC and spectroscopic evidence. This paper reports efficient syntheses of the trans-trans- 3,4,8,9-dihydrodiol ( 1 ) and the 10- and 11-phenolic trans -3,4-dihydrodiols of dibenz[ a, j ]anthracene ( 3a, b ). The synthetic route to 1 entails as the key steps asymmetric dihydroxylation of an appropriately substituted stilbene precursor employing a Sharpless catalyst followed by intramolecular cyclodehydrobromination catalyzed by Pd(PPh 3 ) 2 Cl 2 . The syntheses of 3a, b proceed via sequences involving a Wittig reaction of anisaldehyde with a phosphonium salt of 2-chloro-3-methylbenzyl bromide to give a stilbene compound and then photocyclization, conversion of the product to a phosphonium salt, a second Wittig reaction and photocyclization, reductive dechlorination, and conversion of the resulting trimethoxydibenz[ a, j ]anthracenes to the phenolic dihydrodiols. A key feature of these syntheses is the effective use of chloro substituents to block photocyclization in an undesired direction. These methods are potentially applicable to the synthesis of analogous higher oxidized metabolites of other polycyclic aromatic carcinogens.",10.1021/jo980416j,1998-10-22,0.5851631260009542 Organic Letters,Iodination of Remote Ortho-C–H Bonds of Arenes via Directed SEAr: A Streamlined Synthesis of Tetrahydroquinolines,"A new strategy for the synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) via the sequential functionalizations of remote C-H bonds is reported.

Here, we report a short and flexible synthetic approach towards the sphingofungin family. Key step of the synthesis was a decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction of chiral sulfinyl imines with a functionalized tartaric acid derivative, which yielded the core motif of sphingofungins carrying four consecutive stereocenters and a terminal double bond. Subsequent metathesis reaction allowed for the introduction of different side chains of choice resulting in a total of eight sphingofungins, including for the first time sphingofungin C (eight steps from commercially available protected tartaric acid with an overall yield of 6 %) and sphingofungin A (ten steps).

Key features of the synthesis of the diol‐containing side‐chain were a catalytic enantioselective vinylogous aldol reaction resulting in 5‐hydroxy‐enoate 14 (88 % ee ). Subsequent intramolecular oxa‐Michael addition and amide reduction furnished key building block 5 . As we have described previously, Paal–Knorr reaction of amine 5 with diketone 6 led to pyrrole 7 , which – after carboxylation – provided acid 8 . Since atorvastatin lactone is an aniline derivative of acid 7 , we prepared two linkers having an aniline terminus. For this purpose ethylene glycol based allyl ethers 20 and 27 were combined with nitrostyrene 22 by cross‐metathesis. After hydrogenation of the nitro group and the double bond, anilines 25 and 29 , respectively, were obtained. The anilines were condensed with carboxylic acid 8 to afford the corresponding amides 30 and 35 .

Key steps of the chosen route are a reductive cyclization of ketoamide 11 to indole 12 mediated by low-valent titanium (from TiCl3 and KC8) followed by a photochemical 6pi-electrocyclization, which was performed in the presence of Pd/C and nitrobenzene to effect concomitant dehydrogenation/aromatization of the product initially formed. Regioselective bromination of the resulting pyrrolocarbazole 13 followed by lithium/bromine exchange and quenching of the resulting organolithium species with p-methoxybenzaldehyde installed the side chain at C2. Oxidation of the benzylic alcohol 15 thus obtained to ketone 17 was best achieved with catalytic amounts of tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) and N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO) in dilute CH2Cl2 solution to avoid the formation of undue amounts of the unsymmetrical dimer 16. Ketone 17 was elaborated into the natural product by selective cleavage of the isopropyl ether with BCl3, introduction of the sulfate moiety with the aid of trichloroethyl chlorosulfuric acid ester, deprotection of all lateral methyl ether groups, and final reductive cleavage of the trichloroethyl ester moiety. The spectroscopic data of synthetic dictyodendrin B thus formed matched those of an authentic sample in all regards.

Whereas the azetidinone 21a underwent reductive cyclization, affording the potent antibiotic sanfetrinem's tricyclic [4.5.6] core structure as the major component, all other examples tested resulted in cyclization followed by an N to O acyl migration involving cleavage of the beta-lactam ring as the favored pathway.

The diastereoselectivities of these reactions deviate from those of similar cyclizations involving the corresponding lithium enolate.

We report the first catalytic intermolecular C-H arylation of pyrazoles, namely SEM-protected pyrazoles and N-alkylpyrazoles, which lays the foundation for a new approach to the synthesis of complex arylated pyrazoles, where new arene rings are directly attached to predetermined positions of the heteroarene nucleus (""topologically obvious synthesis""). Through a systematic search, we identified a palladium-pivalate catalytic system as the most effective protocol and mapped the reactivity of all three C-H bonds of the pyrazole (C-5 > C-4 >> C-3). To circumvent the low reactivity of the C-3 position, we developed a ""SEM switch"", which transposes the SEM-protecting group from one nitrogen to the other in one step, and in the process transforms the unreactive C-3 position to the reactive C-5 position. The SEM switch thus enables sequential arylation of C-5 and C-3 position, providing rapid access to protected or free 3,4,5-triarylpyrazoles (the C-4 arene ring is readily introduced by bromination and Suzuki coupling). Furthermore, N-alkylation of SEM-protected pyrazoles allows for regioselective introduction of the amine substituent, addressing the low regioselectivity of N-alkylation of pyrazoles lacking sufficient steric bias. Thus, the catalytic C-H arylation combined with the protecting group transposition and N-alkylation provides a rapid route to fully substituted pyrazoles with complete regiocontrol of all substituents. The particular strength of this strategy is the ability to commence the synthesis from either the parent pyrazole or practically any pyrazole intermediate.",10.1021/ja8096114,2009-02-10,0.5835014861771938 Synthesis,"Furan Ring Opening-Pyrrole Ring Closure: A New Route to Pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-ones","A new method for the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]benzodiazepines is described.

The POD program was originally derived from our first total synthesis of tenuipyrone, while our productive FOD program arose from the total synthesis of the uprolide family. Instead of a review summary of our total synthesis, this Account is focused on how these total synthesis projects are conceived and connected from the perspective of laboratory development. It is evident that total synthesis is not an isolated event, but a connecting and inspirational point that sparks new ideas and new projects. 1 Introduction 2 Total Synthesis versus Synthetic Methodology 3 Development of Phenol Oxidative Dearomatization (POD) for Total Synthesis 4 Development of Furan Oxidative Dearomatization (FOD, Achmatowicz rearrangement) for Total Synthesis 5 Conclusion and Outlook",10.1055/a-2010-7874,2023-01-11,0.5829090863954427 Synlett,"N,N-Dibenzylaminoacetonitrile, a Highly Efficient Synthon for the Synthesis of (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-2,3-Methanohomoserines",,10.1055/s-1991-20863,1991-01-01,0.5829063889100121 Journal of Organic Chemistry,Expedient Stereoselective Synthesis of Coronafacic Acid Through Intramolecular Diels−Alder Cyclization,"A stereoselective synthesis of coronafacic acid, a natural component of the phytotoxin coronatin, was achieved using an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction as the key step.

The defining motif of the plakortones is a sterically congested 2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one moiety, the emblematic furanolactone core. This core is efficiently accessed by a palladium(II) mediated hydroxycyclization-carbonylation-lactonization cascade with an appropriate ene-1,3-diol. Total syntheses of plakortones C (3) and F (6) are now described which settle constitutional and stereochemical features in this group of secondary metabolites. Acquisition of plakortone D (4), the most effective activator of SR-Ca(2+)-pumping ATPase, utilized stereodefined lactone cores that resulted from asymmetric dihydroxylation of protected homoallylic alcohol 29. A derived lactone aldehyde was then coupled with an independently generated, sulfone-activated side chain unit, 57. The 11,12-E-double bond, carried through the sequence as a protected, stereodefined diol, was released therefrom by stereospecific syn-elimination via an orthoester derivative. In this way, plakortone D (4) was demonstrated to possess the (3S,4S,6S,10R,11E) configuration. Racemic plakortone E (5) was also acquired by using the Pd(II) induced sequence, but in this case, the required, complete acyclic system 52 was assembled first. Plakortone C (3) resulted from a sequence commencing with (R)-(+)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate, with a derived iodide 76 alkylating the enolate of the butyramide 77 generated from (1S,2S)-(+)-pseudoephedrine. The liberated primary alcohol 79 was converted by standard procedures to key enediol 89 which, with the Pd(II) protocol, afforded the major separable plakortones 90 and 91, with the former being identical with natural plakortone C (3). Very mild hydrogenation of 90 afforded a saturated plakortone, identical with natural plakortone F (6), thus establishing its structure and absolute stereochemistry.

Synthesis of Protoberberines and Benzo[c]phenanthridines via C-2‘-Functionalized 3-Arylisoquinolines1,"Efficient synthetic routes to isoquinoline alkaloids of the protoberberine and benzo[c]phenanthridine classes are reported. The key transformations are derived from the intramolecular cyclization of C-2'-functionalized N-(1,2-diarylethyl)amides or enamides via 3-arylisoquinoline derivatives. Thus, under Bischler-Napieralski reaction conditions (PCl(5), nitrile as solvent, room temperature) N-(1,2-diarylethyl)amides 12 regioselectively yielded 2,3-disubstituted 13,14-dihydroprotoberberinium salts 20, a scarcely studied oxidation state in this class of alkaloids. Subsequent reduction of the iminium bond gave the known coralydine (21a) and O-methylcorytenchirine (21b) and their 8-phenyl analogue 21c. The one-pot preparation of these dihydroprotoberberinium salts 20 is shown to proceed with cleavage of the silyl ether and immediate halogenation of the resulting hydroxyl group, followed by cyclization of the obtained N-(1,2-diarylethyl)amide 18 to a 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline derivative 19 and subsequent intramolecular in situ N-alkylation of the latter imine. Ready access to planar 8,9-dialkoxylated benzo[c]phenanthridinium salts is also described.

While the total synthesis of haouamines has been elegantly achieved, spirohexenolides remains an unmet synthetic challenge due to the highly strained bent 1,3,5‐triene conjugation within C15 macrocycle.

The central step in the synthesis consists of an intramolecular [4 + 2]-cycloaddition/rearrangement cascade of an indolyl-substituted amidofuran that delivers an aza-tetracyclic substructure containing the ABCE-rings of the Strychnos alkaloid family. A large substituent group on the amide nitrogen atom causes the reactive s- trans conformation of the amidofuran to be more highly populated, thereby facilitating the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The reaction also requires the presence of an electron-withdrawing substituent on the indole nitrogen for the cycloaddition to proceed. The cycloaddition/rearrangement cascade was remarkably efficient given that two heteroaromatic systems are compromised in the reaction. Closure to the remaining D-ring of the Strychnos skeleton was carried out from the aza-tetracyclic intermediate by an intramolecular palladium-catalyzed enolate-driven cross-coupling between the N-tethered vinyl iodide and the keto functionality. The cycloaddition/rearrangement approach was successfully applied to (+/-)-strychnopivotine (2), the only Strychnos alkaloid bearing a 2-acylindoline moiety in its pentacyclic framework.

Modifications of the parent structure include variations on the cyclopropene ring, the N-acyl chain length, the configuration of the stereocenters, and the hydroxyl group at C1. The key intermediates for the synthesis are the products resulting from the addition of suitable organolithium compounds to either Garner's aldehyde or its enantiomer.

An alternative method for N-Boc deprotection is also reported that allows us to obtain the cyclopropene analogue of sphingosine 12a, which can be transformed into GT11 upon acylation.

The latter potential is explored in the context of a synthesis of the assigned structure of amphidinolide A, which also raises the question of the applicability of this reaction for macrocyclizations. Employing this reaction allows simplification of the target to three subunits corresponding to C-1 to C-6, C-7 to C-15, and C-16 to C-25.

The key intermediate (+/-)-10alpha-amino-7beta,8alpha,9alpha-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene was synthesized by a highly diastereoselective dihydroxylation wherein phenylboronic acid was a water surrogate. The resulting boronate ester was converted to a tetraol derivative in which two of the four hydroxyl groups (trans 7, 8) were protected as benzoate esters while the remaining two (cis 9, 10) were free. The cis glycol entity was then subjected to a reaction with 1-chlorocarbonyl-1-methylethylacetate to yield an intermediate chloro monoacetoxy dibenzoate.

Chemical approaches may be used to optimize properties of small interfering RNAs, such as thermal stability, cellular delivery, in vivo half-life, and pharmacokinetics. From this perspective, amides as neutral and hydrophobic internucleoside linkages in RNA are highly interesting modifications that so far have not been tested in RNA interference. Amides are remarkably good mimics of the phosphodiester backbone of RNA and can be prepared using a relatively straightforward peptide coupling chemistry. The synthetic challenge that has hampered the progress in this field has been preparation of monomeric building blocks for such couplings, the nucleoside amino acid equivalents. Herein, we report two synthetic routes to enantiomerically pure 3'-aminomethyl-5'-carboxy-3',5'-dideoxy nucleosides, monomers for preparation of amide-modified RNA. Modification of uridine, a representative of natural nucleosides, using nitroaldol chemistry gives the target amino acid in 16 steps and 9% overall yield. The alternative synthesis starting from glucose is somewhat less efficient (17 steps and 6% yield of 3'-azidomethyl-5'-carboxy-3',5'-dideoxy uridine), but provides easier access to modified nucleosides having other heterocyclic bases. The syntheses developed herein will allow preparation of amide-modified RNA analogues and exploration of their potential as tools and probes for RNA interference, fundamental biochemistry, and bio- and nanotechnology.",10.1021/jo060457c,2006-06-30,0.5799153016698809 European Journal of Organic Chemistry,Approaches to the Synthesis of a Water‐Soluble Carboxy Nitroxide,"Abstract The robust and diversely useful isoindoline nitroxide, 5‐carboxy‐1,1,3,3‐tetramethylisoindolin‐2‐yloxyl ( 1 ; CTMIO), has previously been synthesised in low‐to‐moderate yields from phthalic anhydride ( 3 ).

We report a synthesis for this vitamin D analogue which uses a photochemical method for the B-ring opening, leading to the conjugated triene system. The precursor 7-dehydrositosteryl acetate (4) obtained through a one-pot, five-step procedure, was completely free of the 4,6-diene isomer that usually forms in the 5,7-diene synthesis. The pre-vitamin isomer (11) was generated using a modified two-wavelength photolysis procedure that increases the yield for this step more than 3-fold compared to classically used photolysis. The 1alpha-hydroxylation step was performed on the 3-triethylsilyl-trans-vitamin D5 (17) obtained via the sulfur dioxide adduct of cis-vitamin D5, in an overall yield of 48%.

A first-generation approach to the spirocyclic subunit was unsuccessful as a result of incorrect regioselectivity in a radical cyclization. However, this work spawned a second-generation strategy in which the spirocycle was fashioned via a radical-polar crossover reaction. This process merged an intramolecular radical conjugate addition with an enolate hydroxylation and created two stereocenters with excellent diastereoselectivity. The reaction was promoted by irradiation with a sunlamp, and a ditin reagent was required for aryl radical formation. These facts suggest that the substrate may function as a sensitizer, thereby facilitating homolytic cleavage of the ditin reagent. The propellane motif of the target was then installed via annulation of a pyrrolidine ring onto the spirocycle. The sequence of reactions used included a phenolic oxidation, an asymmetric ketone allylation mediated by Nakamura's chiral allylzinc reagent, an anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement, a one-pot ozonolysis-reductive amination, and a Lewis acid promoted cyclization of an amine onto an alpha,beta-unsaturated dimethyl ketal. Further studies of the asymmetric ketone allylation demonstrated the ability of the Nakamura reagent to function well in a mismatched situation.

This strategy was applied to a simultaneous generation of carbon- and silicon-stereogenic centers with excellent selectivity (dr = 99:1) via diastereotopic aryl transfer.

For the introduction of one of our key building blocks, 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol, our identified large-scale route initially employed an unstable aryllithium, generated by bromine lithium exchange next to a phenolic hydroxy group protected as p -methoxybenzyl (PMB) ether. We found that instead, protecting the phenolic hydroxy group as tetrahydropyran (THP) ether in a bromine-free substrate and applying directed ortho metalation (DoM) generated the desired aryllithium in a stable form, suitable for use in a batch process on a large scale, which significantly facilitated the synthesis of our target molecules.

In contrast, Lewis acids did not effectively promote the cyanosilylation under different experimental conditions, and instead hydrocyanation took place affording the corresponding free cyanohydrins in variable yield and selectivity. Starting from beta-lactam cyanohydrin hybrids, two concise, complementary stereocontrolled routes to optically pure orthogonally protected anti,anti-4-amino-3,5-piperidine diols were achieved. Key features of the first approach include chemoselective reductive opening of the beta-lactam ring with LiBH4 to a 3-amino-5-hydroxy pentanenitrile followed by reductive cyclization of a conveniently functionalized cyanomesylate derivative with NaBH4/NiCl2. The second approach involves LiAlH4 reduction of protected anti,anti-4-amino-3,5-dihydroxypiperidin-2-ones, which were easily obtained by chemoselective reduction of the cyano group in the beta-lactam cyanohydrin hybrids with NaBH4/NiCl2 and subsequent intramolecular rearrangement of the resulting amino beta-lactams.

This large glycoconjugates has at its core a backbone of approximately 30 D-galactofuranose (Gal(f)) residues that are linked to peptidoglycan by way of a linker disaccharide containing L-rhamnose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose. Recent studies have supported a model of galactan biosynthesis in which the entire structure is assembled by the action of two bifunctional galactofuranosyltransferases. These biochemical investigations were made possible, in part, by access to a panel of oligosaccharide fragments of the mAG complex (1-12), the synthesis of which we describe here. An early key finding in this study was that the iodine-promoted cyclization of galactose diethyl dithioacetal (19) in the presence of an alcohol solvent led to the formation Gal(f) glycosides contaminated with no pyranoside isomer, thus allowing the efficient preparation of furanoside derivatives of this monosaccharide. The synthesis of disaccharide targets 1, 2, 11 and 12 proceeded without difficulty through the use of thioglycoside donors and octyl glycoside acceptors, both carrying benzoyl protection. In the synthesis of the tri- and tetrasaccharides 3-6, we explored routes in which the molecule was assembled from the reducing to nonreducing end, and the reverse. The latter approach was found to be preferable for the preparation of 6, and in the case of 3 and 4, this strategy allowed the development of efficient one-pot methods for their synthesis. We have also carried out the first synthesis of three mAG fragments (8-10) consisting of the linker disaccharide further elaborated with one, two or three Gal(f) residues. A key step in the synthesis of these target compounds was the coupling of a protected linker disaccharide derivative (58) with a mono-, di-, or trigalactofuranosyl thioglycoside (17, 54, or 53, respectively).",10.1021/jo800457j,2008-05-20,0.5780567343697046 Tetrahedron,The total synthesis of chilenine: Novel constructions of cyclic enamides,,10.1016/s0040-4039(00)99115-9,1989-01-01,0.5780503384480146 Angewandte Chemie International Edition,Total Synthesis of (+)-Saponaceolide B,"Coupling of three fragments results in the first total synthesis of a saponaceolide (see scheme).

This involved the separate construction of two advanced intermediates representing the C1−C15 ( 4 ) and C16−C24 ( 5 ) domains, followed by their organochromium-mediated coupling, installation of the tertiary alcohol at C15, and manipulation of the C18 and C23 acetate moieties. The C1−C15 ( 4 ) intermediate containing the three tetrahydropyranyl rings (A−B−C) was derived from two preconstructed tetrahydropyran-containing units representing the functionalized A (C2−C6) and C (C10−C14) rings ( 6 and 7, respectively). The bromotetrahydropyranyl A ring was obtained via bromoetherification of the hydroxyalkene 16, which was synthesized from (2 R,3 R )-epoxy geraniol. The C ring was stereoselectively constructed by acid-catalyzed opening of the hydroxy epoxide 32, derived from d -glutamic acid. Intermediates 6 and 7 were joined using organochromium conditions, and ketone and hydroxyl functionalities were installed at carbons 7 and 11, respectively. Closure of the B ring was accomplished stereoselectively by formation of species derived from a C7, C11 keto-alcohol and in situ reduction of a tetrahydropyranyl oxonium. The complementary tetrahydrofuran D (C19−C22) ring was obtained from a geraniol-derived tertiary hydroxy alkene ( 44 ) via a stereoselective Re(VII)-induced syn -oxidative cyclization.

Initially developed conditions for this Suzuki reaction, conducted in tetrahydrofuran/aqueous hydroxide, delivered free base ( 6 ) or hydrochloride salt ( 15a ) in reproducible 80% yield.

The key step in the synthesis is the preparation of the two enantiomers of the beta-amino diacid 3-(N-carboxymethyl)-aminodecanoic acid (Ncma), which were obtained by stereoselective alkylation with allyl bromide of two nonanoic acid imides bearing chiral oxazolidinones as chiral auxiliaries. Natural minalemine A shows identical 1H NMR and very similar 13C NMR spectra compared to the two synthetic diastereomers. Sufficient differences in their chromatographic behavior to allow conclusive identification were not found.

Starting from a terminal alkyne the iteration cycle consists of a C3 extension (allylation), a chemoselective hydroboration, an alkyne reduction, and an oxidation of the associated alcohol with subsequent C1 homologation. Double bond geometry is controlled using stereoselective alkyne reductions, employing either the Lindlar hydrogenation protocol or an aluminum hydride reduction. In a model sequence it was demonstrated that the strategy is applicable to the synthesis of 1,5,9,n-polyenes with any possible double bond configuration accessible in equally high efficiency and selectivity. It is worth noting that our approach does not require any protecting group chemistry. Furthermore, using the same strategy, the first total synthesis of chatenaytrienin-4, the proposed unsaturated biosynthetic precursor of the bis-THF acetogenin membranacin, was examined.
