Total Synthesis of Anti-Cancer Meroterpenoids Dysideanone B and Dysiherbol A and Structural Reassignment of Dysiherbol A

The first total synthesis of marine anti-cancer meroterpenoids dysideanone B and dysiherbol A have been accomplished in a divergent way. The synthetic route features: 1) a site and stereoselective α-position alkylation of a Wieland–Miescher ketone derivative with a bulky benzyl bromide to join the terpene and aromatic moieties together and set the stage for subsequent cyclization reactions; 2) an intramolecular radical cyclization to construct the 6/6/6/6-tetracycle of dysideanone B and an intramolecular Heck reaction to forge the 6/6/5/6-fused core structure of dysiherbol A. A late-stage introduction of the ethoxy group in dysideanone B reveals that this group might come from the solvent ethanol. The structure of dysiherbol A has been revised based on our chemical total synthesis.

Synthesis of 12-epi-Protopanaxadiol and Formal Synthesis of Ginsenoside Chikusetsusaponin-LT8

In the context of the total synthesis of protopanaxadiol, two strategies were explored. One strategy from an optically active trienic epoxide, possessing a 5-membered ring, prepared from (S)-epoxy-limonene and (S)-epoxyfarnesol, which was submitted to Ti-(III)-mediated radical cascade to afford an original tetracyclic structure resulting from a 6-endo-trig 6-endo-trig 8-endo-trig process. A second strategy, starting from a Wieland-Miescher-type ketone, using a “ring-by-ring” synthesis allowed the synthesis of 12-epi-protopanaxadiol. In this latter strategy, an efficient sequence of reactions to install the two vicinal C8–C14 quaternary centers involves: i) a Barbier type reaction; ii) an oxidative allylic transposition and iii) a nickel-catalyzed addition of trimethylaluminium. By using this second strategy, 20-hydroxydammar-24-ene-3,12-dione was synthesized which represents a formal synthesis of chikusetsusaponin-LT8, isolated from Panax japonicus.

Total Synthesis of Paspaline A and Emindole PB Enabled by Computational Augmentation of a Transform-Guided Retrosynthetic Strategy

We report the total syntheses of two indole diterpenoid natural products, paspaline A and emindole PB. Paspaline A is synthesized in a 9-step sequence from commercially available materials. The first total synthesis of emindole PB is accomplished in 13 steps and confirms a previously ambiguous structural assignment. Density functional theory calculations are utilized to interrogate the key carbocationic rearrangement in a predictive capacity to aid in the selection of the most favorable precursor substrate. This work highlights how retrosynthetic design can be augmented with quantum chemical calculations to reveal energetically feasible synthetic disconnections, minimizing time-consuming and expensive empirical evaluation.

FeCl3·6H2O/acetaldehyde, a versatile system for the deprotection of ketals and acetals via a transacetalization process

Mild and efficient catalytic deprotection of ketals/acetals mediated by FeCl3·6H2O/acetaldehyde has been described in this paper. The versatility and high chemoselectivity of the iron(iii)/aldehyde system are demonstrated by a large scope of examples. Deprotected ketones/aldehydes are nearly quantitatively isolated after filtration over a pad of silica gel followed by evaporation of volatile by-products.

Mild and chemoselective catalytic deprotection of ketals and acetals using cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate

Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) is a powerful, though mild, reagent for the efficient and selective removal of a range of ketals and acetals. This novel deprotection method requires only catalytic amounts of CAN and tolerates a variety of functional and protecting groups. Mechanistic insights suggest that the Ce(IV) salts act as unique Lewis acids and not as redox active species.
