Hapalosin, a new reversing MDR agent, has been synthesized by macrolactamisation of a linear precursor 2 derived from the coupling of a β-hydroxy γ-aminoacid 3 and two hydroxy-esters 4 and 5. The aminoacid 3 was stereoselectively obtained by opening of an anti β-aminoepoxide while the 3-hydroxyacid 4 was prepared by condensation of a lithium compound with (R)-2-phenyl-propanal followed by oxidation of the phenyl group.

Hapalosin was initially synthesized by macrolactonization, and a second synthesis was achieved by cycloamidation. In both syntheses, three of the five stereocenters in hapalosin were established by two Brown allylboration reactions. The synthesis of the non-N-Me analog of hapalosin involved chelation-controlled reduction of a γ-amino-β-keto ester and cycloamidation. In CDCl3 at 25°C, synthetic hapalosin exists as a 2.3:1 mixture of conformers, while its non-N-Me analog exists only as a single conformer. 1H,1H-NOESY and computation reveal that the configuration of the amide bond is responsible for the conformations of the two compounds. The major conformer of hapalosin is found to be an s-cis amide, the minor conformer an s-trans amide, and the non-N-Me analog an s-trans amide. Applying distance constraints to protons that exhibit NOESY correlations, computation shows that the major conformer of hapalosin and the non-N-Me analog have very different conformations. By contrast, the minor conformer of hapalosin and the non-N-Me analog have very similar conformations.
