A convergent total synthesis of the telomerase inhibitor (±)-γ-rubromycin

The total synthesis of the human telomerase inhibitor γ-rubromycin in its racemic form was accomplished in 3.8 % overall yield. The key feature of this synthesis is an efficient acid-catalyzed spiroketalization for the construction of the spiroketal core. The required electronically well-balanced spiroketal precursor was obtained by the convergent assembly of a naphthyl-substituted aldehyde, an α-methoxyallyl-γ-silyl-substituted phosphonate as the central C3 building block, and a highly functionalized aryl Grignard reagent. Another key feature is the late-stage construction of the isocoumarin moiety and a simultaneous protodesilylation furnishing the known methyl aryl ether protected precursor of γ-rubromycin. 3 building blocks + 3 acids→natural product: After the assembly of the crucial precursor from three highly functionalized building blocks, the pivotal spiroketalization was achieved with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, the isocoumarin formation with fluoroboric acid, and the O-demethylation with the Lewis acid boron tribromide. (±)-γ-Rubromycin was thus synthesized in 18 steps with an overall yield of 3.8 % from commercially available precursors.

An expeditious convergent total synthesis affords (±)-γ- rubromycin (1) in 4.4% overall yield. The longest linear sequence is 12 steps from commercial starting materials. The effort highlights a remarkable late-stage oxidative [3 + 2] cycloaddition for co

Purpuromycin (1) is a natural antibiotic with a broad spectrum of activity encompassing bacteria fungi and protozoa. A new series of derivatives of 1 was prepared by the modification or replacement of the C-4 hydroxyl group. The physico-chemical characteristics and the in vitro antimicrobial activity of these new semisynthetic purpuromycin derivatives are reported. Attachment of a variety of bulky groups to the C-4 hydroxyl group as well as acylation or mesylation of 1 gave derivatives with significantly reduced antifungal activity, while the antimicrobial activity of these derivatives against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was only slightly decreased. All compounds were inactive against Escherichia coli. The C-4 epimers showed different in vitro activity as compared with those having the natural configuration, particularly against fungi.
