RhIII-Catalyzed C-H (Het)arylation/Vinylation of N-2,6-Difluoroaryl Acrylamides

RhIII-catalyzed sp2 C-H cross-coupling of acrylamides with organoboron reactants has been accomplished using a commercially available N-2,6-difluoroaryl acrylamide auxiliary. A broad range of aryl and vinyl boronates as well as a variety of heterocyclic boronates with strong coordinating ability can serve as the coupling partners. This transformation proceeds under moderate reaction conditions with excellent functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity.

Stereoselective Total Synthesis of (-)-Renieramycin T

A stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-Renieramycin T (1t) from a key tetrahydroisoquinoline intermediate previously utilized in our formal total synthesis of Ecteinascidin 743 is described. The synthesis features a concise approach for construction of the pentacyclic framework using a Pictet-Spengler cyclization of bromo-substituted carbinolamine 17, which obviates the regioselectivity problem of the Pictet-Spengler cyclization. The results of cytotoxicity studies are also presented.

Chemo- and Regioselective Functionalization of Nortrilobolide: Application for Semisynthesis of the Natural Product 2-Acetoxytrilobolide

The difference in reactivity of the hexaoxygenated natural product thapsigargin (1) and the pentaoxygenated nortrilobolide (3) was compared in order to develop a chemo- and regioselective method for the conversion of nortrilobolide (3) into the natural product 2-acetoxytrilobolide (4). For the first time, a stereoselective synthesis of 2-acetoxytrilobolide (4) is described, which involves two key reactions: the first chemical step was a one-pot substitution-oxidation reaction of an allylic ester into its corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketone. The second process consisted of a stereoselective α′-acyloxylation of the key intermediate α,β-unsaturated ketone to afford its corresponding acetoxyketone, which was converted into 2-acetoxytrilobolide (4) in a few steps. This innovative approach would allow the synthesis of a broad library of novel and valuable penta- and hexaoxygenated guaianolides as potential anticancer agents.

Chemistry of renieramycins. Part 14: Total synthesis of renieramycin i and practical synthesis of cribrostatin 4 (renieramycin H)

The first total synthesis of (±)-renieramycin I, which was isolated from the Indian bright blue sponge Haliclona cribricutis, is described. The key step is the selenium oxide oxidation of pentacyclic bis-p-quinone derivative (3) stereo- and regioselectively. We also report a large-scale synthesis of cribrostatin 4 (renieramycin H) via the C3-C4 double bond formation in an early stage based on the Avenda?o's protocol, from readily available 1-acetyl-3-(3-methyl-2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)methyl-piperazine-2,5-dione (8) in 18 steps (8.3% overall yield). The synthesis provides unambiguous evidence supporting the original structure of renieramycin I.

Preparation of renieramycin left-half model compounds

Model compounds of the left-half of renieramycins, which are anticancer marine natural products having an α-aminonitrile functionality, were prepared from phenylalanine derivatives. The key step of the transformation is the stereospecific construction of 1,3-cis stereochemistry via an exomethylene intermediate. The stereoselective α-aminonitrile formation under kinetically controlled conditions is also discussed. The initial cytotoxicity profiles are presented.

Chemistry of renieramycins. Part 12: An improved total synthesis of (±)-renieramycin G

An improved total synthesis of (±)-renieramycin G (1g) from readily available 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (7) in 21 steps (6.3% overall yield) is described. The synthesis features the concise construction of a pentacyclic framework using the stereoselective Pictet-Spengler type cyclization reaction of lactam (25) with ethyl diethoxyacetate, followed by the base-catalyzed epimerization of the C-1 stereo center of aldehyde (30a). The results of cytotoxicity studies are also presented.

Chemistry of renieramycins. Part 11: Total synthesis of (±)-cribrostatin 4

A 19-step synthesis of (±)-cribrostatin 4 (1) from readily available piperazine-2,5-dione derivative 6 is described. The synthesis features the concise construction of a pentacyclic framework, followed by the base-catalyzed epimerization of the C-1 stereo center of aldehyde (11). The results of cytotoxicity studies are also presented.

New cyclopentadienyl, indenyl or fluorenyl substituted phosphine compounds and their use in catalytic reactions

The invention is directed to a phosphine compound represented by general formula (1) wherein R' and R" independently are selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl and 2-furyl radicals, or R' and R" are joined together to form with the phosphorous atom a carbon-phosphorous monocycle comprising at least 3 carbon atoms or a carbon-phosphorous bicycle; the alkyl radicals, cycloalkyl radicals, and carbon-phosphorous monocycle being unsubstituted or substituted by at least one radical selected from the group of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkoxy, and aryloxy radicals; Cps is a partially substituted or completely substituted cyclopentadien-1-yl group, including substitutions resulting in a fused ring system, and wherein a substitution at the 1-position of the cyclopentadien-1-yl group is mandatory when the cyclopentadien-1-yl group is not part of a fused ring system or is part of an indenyl group. Also claimed is the use of these phosphines as ligands in catalytic reactions and the preparation of these phosphines.

Asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-cribrostatin 4 (renieramycin H)

(Chemical Equation Presented) Out of the blue: The convergent asymmetric total synthesis of the antitumor antibiotic (-)-cribrostatin 4 from the blue sponge Cribrochalina features asymmetric Staudinger and Pictet-Spengler reactions to form the tetrahydroisoquinoline moiety. These reactions were followed by a reductive opening/elimination of a tricyclic β-lactam and a Pictet-Spengler cyclization to access the unsaturated pentacyclic core.

Total synthesis of thiostrepton. Retrosynthetic analysis and construction of key building blocks

The first phase of the total synthesis of thiostrepton (1), a highly complex thiopeptide antibiotic, is described. After a brief introduction to the target molecule and its structural motifs, it is shown that retrosynthetic analysis of thiostrepton reveals compounds 23, 24, 26, 28, and 29 as potential key building blocks for the projected total synthesis. Concise and stereoselective constructions of all these intermediates are then described. The synthesis of the dehydropiperidine core 28 was based on a biosynthetically inspired aza-Diels-Alder dimerization of an appropriate azadiene system, an approach that was initially plagued with several problems which were, however, resolved satisfactorily by systematic investigations. The quinaldic acid fragment 24 and the thiazoline-thiazole segment 26 were synthesized by a series of reactions that included asymmetric and other stereoselective processes. The dehydroalanine tail precursor 23 and the alanine equivalent 29 were also prepared from the appropriate amino acids. Finally, a method was developed for the direct coupling of the labile dehydropiperidine key building block 28 to the more advanced and stable peptide intermediate 27 through capture with the highly reactive alanine equivalent 67 under conditions that avoided the initially encountered destructive ring contraction process.
