Bio-inspired formal synthesis of hirsutellones a-C featuring an electrophilic cyclization triggered by remote lewis acid-activation

A bio-inspired strategy was used to complete the formal synthesis of the antitubercular hirsutellone B and congeners A and C, through construction of its decahydrofluorene core from a linear polyene strand activated at both ends by a silyl enol ether and an allyl acetate. Our synthesis features a key electrophilic cyclization, starting with the remote activation (by [Yb(OTf) 3] or BF3×OEt2) of the allyl acetate and stereoselectively affording the C ring. This was followed by an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to get the tricyclic core of the natural product. The stereoselective reduction of the resulting ketone towards the formal intermediate was critical to the success of this strategy. Copyright
The structure elucidation and total synthesis of β-lipomycin
Hartmann, Olaf,Kalesse, Markus
, p. 7335 - 7338 (2014)
Here we describe the synthesis of β-lipomycin, a secondary metabolite isolated from the fermentation broth of Corallococcus coralloides. The synthesis relies on the structural assignment made by a statistical method, the so-called profile hidden Markov model. Using this protocol, not only the configuration of the secondary alcohol, but also of the adjacent methyl branch could be deduced. The synthesis therefore not only provides access to this natural product but also confirms the validity of this approach for configurational assignment at methyl branches of modular polyketides.
Organoselenium-catalyzed synthesis of oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles

A new and efficient approach for the synthesis of oxygen and nitrogen heterocycles by organoselenium catalysis has been developed. The exo-cyclization proceeded smoothly under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance and excellent regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies revealed that 1-fluoropyridinium triflate is key for oxidative cyclization.
