A new Annonaceous acetogenin, gonionenin (1), has been isolated from the bark of Goniothalamus giganteus (Annonaceae). C-21/22 double bonds in 1 and in gigantetronenin (10) were oxidized and then cyclized to give pairs of adjacent bis-THF (4 and 7) and nonadjacent bis-THF (11 and 14) acetogenins, respectively. This is the first reported preparation of bis-THF Annonaceous acetogenins through double-bond epoxidation and cyclization from mono-THF acetogenins. The resulting bis-THF compounds (4, 7, 11, 14) showed enhanced bioactivities, versus 1 and 10, with 11 and 14 being over a billion times more cytotoxic than adriamycin against certain solid tumor cell lines.
Allylmalonate as an activator subunit for the initiation of relay ring-closing metathesis reactions

Passing the baton: The relay ring-closing metathesis (RRCM) reaction of complex polyenes 1 has been studied. Several relay subunits (T) were examined and many did not sufficiently activate the RRCM. An allylmalonate-containing relay subunit solved this pr
Sequencing of three-component olefin metatheses: Total synthesis of either (+)-gigantecin or (+)-14-deoxy-9-oxygigantecin

An efficient, flexible, and highly convergent strategy for accessing skipped bis-THF containing Annonaceous acetogenins is demonstrated by the synthesis of each of (+)-gigantecin (1) and its constitutional isomer (+)-14-deoxy-9-oxygigantecin (11). The skeleton of each compound is produced, at will, from the same precursors via a three-component ring-closing/cross- metathesis sequence that differs only in the ordering of the RCM vs CM events. Another notable aspect is the use of in situ epoxide-closing and -opening of iodohydrins with dimethylsulfonium methylide to provide inverted allylic alcohols.
Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-gigantecin: Exploiting the asymmetric glycolate aldol reaction
Crimmins, Michael T.,She, Jin
, p. 12790 - 12791 (2007/10/03)
The enantioselective synthesis of the potent, selective, cytotoxic, annonaceous acetogenin, (+)-gigantecin, has been completed. An asymmetric glycolate aldol serves to establish the stereocenters at C13,14 and at C21,22. A Carreira asymmetric acetylide ad
