- Total Syntheses of Disorazoles A1 and B1 and Full Structural Elucidation of Disorazole B1
-
Described herein are the first total syntheses of naturally occurring antitumor agents disorazoles A1 and B1 and the full structural assignment of the latter. The syntheses were achieved through convergent strategies employing enantioselective constructions of the required building blocks, including a novel Sharpless epoxidation/enzymatic kinetic resolution of stannane-containing substrates that led selectively to both enantiomeric forms of an epoxy vinyl stannane, and a series of coupling reactions, including a Wittig reaction, a Suzuki coupling, a Stille coupling, a Yamaguchi esterification and a Yamaguchi macrolactonization.

- Synthesis of new C3 symmetric amino acid- and aminoalcohol-containing chiral stationary phases and application to HPLC enantioseparations
-
We recently reported a new C3-symmetric (R)-phenylglycinol N-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid-derived chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase (CSP 1) that demonstrated better results as compared to a previously described N-3,5-dintrobenzoyl (DNB) (R)-phenylglycinol-derived CSP. Over a decade ago, (S)-leucinol, (R)-phenylglycine, and (S)-leucine derivatives were used as the starting materials of 3,5-DNB-based Pirkle-type CSPs for chiral separation. In this study, three new C3-symmetric CSPs (CSP 2, 3, and 4) were prepared by combining the ideas and results mentioned above. Here we describe the synthetic procedures and applications of the new C3-symmetric CSPs (CSP 2–CSP 4).

- Total Enantioselective Synthesis of the Endophytic Fungal Polyketide Phomolide H and Its Structural Revision
-
A total synthesis of the proposed structure of the natural polyketide-macrolactone phomolide H 2 has been achieved following a bidirectional strategy from l-tartaric acid. The originally assigned structure of phomolide H displayed discordant NMR spectroscopic data in comparison with synthetic 2. The synthetic strategy was extended to prepare diastereomers and epimeric methyl-ethers of the natural product, structural analysis of which revealed a match of the natural product with diastereomer 27. The structural revision of phomolide H from 2 to the methanol solvate of compound 27 is presented.

- Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the Proposed Structure of the Endophytic Fungal Metabolite Phomolide G: Structural Revision and Unambiguous Stereochemical Assignment
-
A total synthesis of the proposed structure of the natural macrolactone phomolide G (1) by a bidirectional strategy from L-tartaric acid is reported. The ω-terminus of the molecule was elaborated by nitrile extension, C3-alkylation and a substrate-controlled 1,3-ketone reduction. The α-terminus was extended by a C2aldehyde-to-alkenal homologation followed by an auxiliary controlled aldol reaction. Macrolactonization and deprotection yielded compound 1 (confirmed by X-ray analysis). This putative structure of phomolide G displayed discordant NMR spectroscopic data in comparison with those of the natural product. Detailed inspection of all NMR spectroscopic data available indicated phomolide G to be likely a diastereomer of 1. The synthetic strategy developed allows control of the absolute stereochemistry at all four chiral secondary alcohol groups. Further manipulation allowed for the preparation of diastereomer 33, the1H and13C NMR spectroscopic data of which are in full accord with that reported for the natural product.

- Direct Generation of Triketide Stereopolyads via Merged Redox-Construction Events: Total Synthesis of (+)-Zincophorin Methyl Ester
-
(+)-Zincophorin methyl ester is prepared in 13 steps (longest linear sequence). A bidirectional redox-triggered double anti-crotylation of 2-methyl-1,3-propane diol directly assembles the triketide stereopolyad spanning C4-C12, significantly enhancing step economy and enabling construction of (+)-zincophorin methyl ester in nearly half the steps previously required.

- Towards EPC-syntheses of the structural class of cochleamycins and macquarimicins. Part 3: EPC-syntheses of the β-keto lactone subunits and first attempts towards the syntheses of the pentacyclic antibiotics of this group
-
Practical EPC-syntheses of δ-substituted-β-keto δ-lactones, subunits of the cochleamycins and macquarimicins, are presented. In consequence Tietze's tandem reaction is employed to combine δ-allyl-β-keto δ-lactone with a hydrindene derivative, the second subunit of these acetogenic antibiotics. Model reactions for the final oxidative radical tandem cyclization reveal that the electrophilic radical cyclizes exclusively in exo-trig fashion. However, with the intended precursor of macquarimicin C allylic hydrogen abstraction thwarted the oxidative radical tandem cyclization.
