A range of structural variations on the tricarbocyclic core 2 of the anti-bacterial agent platencin 1, including those represented by compounds 14, 15, and 27, have been prepared and certain of these elaborated, through substrate-controlled enolate alkylation reactions, to analogues of the natural product. Preliminary biological evaluation of these analogues revealed that they are only weakly active anti-infective agents.

The secondary metabolites platensimycin and platencin, isolated from the bacterial strain Streptomyces platensis, represent a novel class of natural products exhibiting unique and potent antibacterial activity. Platencin, though structurally similar to platensimycin, has been found to operate through a slightly different mechanism of action involving the dual inhibition of lipid elongation enzymes FabF and FabH. Both natural products exhibit strong, broad-spectrum, Gram-positive antibacterial activity to key antibiotic resistant strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. Described herein are our synthetic efforts toward platencin, culminating in both racemic and asymmetric preparation of the natural product. The syntheses demonstrate the power of the cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction and the one-pot reductive rearrangement of [3.2.1] bicyclic ketones to [2.2.2] bicyclic olefins.

An enantioselective synthesis of platensimycin, a novel antibiotic natural product that inhibits bacterial β-ketoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthase (FabF), is described. Our synthetic strategy for the construction of the oxatetracyclic core involved an

(Chemical Equation Presented) The asymmetric total synthesis of the newly discovered and potent antibiotic platencin has been achieved. The approach makes use of an asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction, a gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization, and a homoallyl radical rearrangement to forge the polycyclic architecture of this intriguing target (see scheme, SEM=2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl).
