Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Streptide

Streptide (1) is a peptide-derived macrocyclic natural product that has attracted considerable attention since its discovery in 2015. It contains an unprecedented post-translational modification that intramolecularly links the β-carbon (C3) of a residue 2 lysine with the C7 of a residue 6 tryptophan, thereby forming a 20-membered cyclic peptide. Herein, we report the first total synthesis of streptide that confirms the regiochemistry of the lysine-tryptophan cross-link and provides an unambiguous assignment of the stereochemistry (3R vs 3S) of the lysine-2 C3 center. Both the 3R and the originally assigned 3S lysine diastereomers were independently prepared by total synthesis, and it is the former, not the latter, that was found to correlate with the natural product. The approach enlists a powerful Pd(0)-mediated indole annulation for the key macrocyclization of the complex core peptide, utilizes an underdeveloped class of hypervalent iodine(III) aryl substrates in a palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/β-arylation reaction conducted on a lysine derivative, and provides access to material with which the role of streptide and related natural products may be examined.

Total synthesis of chloropeptin II (complestatin) and chloropeptin I

(Chemical Equation Presented) The first total synthesis of chloropeptin II (1, complestatin) is disclosed. Key elements of the approach include the use of an intramolecular Larock indole synthesis for the initial macrocyclization, adopting conditions that

The first synthesis of optically active 7-methoxy-d-tryptophan as well as other ring-A substituted tryptophans is described.

Efficient asymmetric synthesis of biologically important tryptophan analogues via a palladium-mediated heteroannulation reaction

A novel and concise synthesis of optically active tryptophan derivatives was developed via a palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation reaction of substituted o-iodoanilines with an internal alkyne. The required internal alkyne 14a or 25 was prepared in greater than 96% de via alkylation of the Schoellkopf chiral auxiliary 19 employing diphenyl phosphate as the leaving group. The Schoellkopf chiral auxiliary was chosen here for the preparation of L-tryptophans would be available from D-valine while the D-isomers required for natural product total synthesis would originate from the inexpensive L-valine (300-g scale). Applications of the palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation reaction were extended to the first asymmetric synthesis of L-isotryptophan 38 and L-benz[f]tryptophan 39. More importantly, the optically pure 6-methoxy-D-tryptophan 62 was prepared by this protocol on a large scale (>300 g). This should permit entry into many ring-A oxygenated indole alkaloids when coupled with the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction. In addition, an improved total synthesis of tryprostatin A (9a) was accomplished in 43% overall yield employing this palladium-mediated process.

Effect of the leaving group on the alkylation diastereoselectivity of the Schollkopf chiral auxiliary

Tosylates, diphenylphosphates and bromides were employed to study the effect of the leaving group on the alkylation diastereoselectivity of the Schollkopf chiral auxiliary 1 at aliphatic, benzylic, propargylic and allylic electrophilic centers. The diastereoselectivity generally follows the pattern: diphenylphosphate > tosylate > bromide. In terms of both diastereoselectivity and yield, each leaving group possesses a different advantage.
