Decahydronaphthalene-1,2,3,4,5,6,7-heptol, a new polycyclitol, was synthesized starting from p-benzoquinone. An endo selective Diels-Alder cycloaddition between p-benzoquinone and 1-acetoxybutadiene followed by stereoselective reduction with NaBH4/CeCl3·7H 2O led to the formation of an allylic cis-diol. The formed diol was converted into its acetate with Ac2O/pyridine, in a transformation that required inert atmosphere conditions to suppress a competing aromatization. Controlled oxidation by OsO4 of two olefinic bonds followed by acetylation yielded the heptaacetate whose structure was established unequivocally via application of X-ray crystallographic methods. Removal of the acetate groups by NH3 provided the target heptol. In addition, the carbonic anhydrase inhibitory potency of the title compound was investigated and it was shown to be a potent inhibitor compared to the standard CA inhibitors.

The Chematica program was used to autonomously design synthetic pathways to eight structurally diverse targets, including seven commercially valuable bioactive substances and one natural product. All of these computer-planned routes were successfully executed in the laboratory and offer significant yield improvements and cost savings over previous approaches, provide alternatives to patented routes, or produce targets that were not synthesized previously. Although computers have demonstrated the ability to challenge humans in various games of strategy, their use in the automated planning of organic syntheses remains unprecedented. As a result of the impact that such a tool could have on the synthetic community, the past half century has seen numerous attempts to create in silico chemical intelligence. However, there has not been a successful demonstration of a synthetic route designed by machine and then executed in the laboratory. Here, we describe an experiment where the software program Chematica designed syntheses leading to eight commercially valuable and/or medicinally relevant targets; in each case tested, Chematica significantly improved on previous approaches or identified efficient routes to targets for which previous synthetic attempts had failed. These results indicate that now and in the future, chemists can finally benefit from having an “in silico colleague” that constantly learns, never forgets, and will never retire. Multistep synthetic routes to eight structurally diverse and medicinally relevant targets were planned autonomously by the Chematica computer program, which combines expert chemical knowledge with network-search and artificial-intelligence algorithms. All of the proposed syntheses were successfully executed in the laboratory and offer substantial yield improvements and cost savings over previous approaches or provide the first documented route to a given target. These results provide the long-awaited validation of a computer program in practically relevant synthetic design.

Novel 5-hydroxy-4-acetyl-2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,2-b]furans (7a-k) were synthesized using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN)-catalyzed formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities. A modified spectrophotometric method using l-DOPA as substrate was used to determine tyrosinase inhibitory activities, and a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was used to evaluate antioxidant properties. Antibacterial activities against gram-negative Escherichia coli (KCTC-1924) and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (KCTC-1916) were evaluated using the disc diffusion technique. Of the synthesized compounds, 7b with a 4-acetyl and an electron-enriched dihydronaphthofuran ring showed the highest tyrosinase-inhibition activity (IC50 Combining double low line 8.91 μg/mL), which was comparable with that of standard kojic acid (IC50 Combining double low line 10.16 μg/mL), potent antioxidant activity (IC50 Combining double low line 3.33 μg/mL), which was comparable with that of BHT (IC50 Combining double low line 34.67 μg/mL), and excellent antibacterial activities (MICs: 0.50 μg/mL against E. coli and S. aureus strains). A mechanistic analysis of 7b demonstrated that its tyrosinase inhibitory activity was reversible and competitive. Compounds 7c and 7d showed potent antioxidant activities (IC50: 6.30 and 5.01 μg/mL), and compound 7d also exhibited potent inhibitory activity against E. coli with a MIC of 0.5 μg/mL. Furthermore, compounds 7a, 7e, 7f, and 7i showed potent antibacterial activities against S. aureus with MICs of 0.5 μg/mL, which was comparable to that of ampicillin (MIC Combining double low line 0.5 μg/mL).
