WAP-8294A2 (lotilibcin, 1) is a potent antibiotic with superior in vivo efficacy to vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Despite the great medical importance, its molecular mode of action remains unknown. Here we report the total synthesis of complex macrocyclic peptide 1 comprised of 12 amino acids with a β-hydroxy fatty-acid chain, and its deoxy analogue 2. A full solid-phase synthesis of 1 and 2 enabled their rapid assembly and the first detailed investigation of their functions. Compounds 1 and 2 were equipotent against various strains of Gram-positive bacteria including MRSA. We present evidence that the antimicrobial activities of 1 and 2 are due to lysis of the bacterial membrane, and their membrane-disrupting effects depend on the presence of menaquinone, an essential factor for the bacterial respiratory chain. The established synthetic routes and the menaquinone-targeting mechanisms provide valuable information for designing and developing new antibiotics based on their structures.

Herein, we report a double deprotonation method used for the preparation of ynolates starting from nonbrominated 2,6-di-tert-butylphenyl esters. The current method is superior to the previously described double lithium/halogen exchange approach because easily accessible starting materials are used. This method will be especially useful for preparation of ynolates bearing functional groups in organic synthesis.

The selective functionalization of C(sp3)?H bonds at distal positions to functional groups is a challenging task in synthetic chemistry. Reported here is a photoinduced radical cascade strategy for the divergent functionalization of amides and protected amines. The process is based on the oxidative generation of electrophilic amidyl radicals and their subsequent transposition by 1,5-H-atom transfer, resulting in remote fluorination, chlorination and, for the first time, thioetherification, cyanation, and alkynylation. The process is tolerant of most common functional groups and delivers useful building blocks that can be further elaborated. The utility of this strategy is demonstrated through the late-stage functionalization of amino acids and a dipeptide.

Aliphatic amides are selectively functionalized at the γ- and δ-positions through directed radical 1,5 and 1,6 H-abstractions, respectively. The initially formed γ- or δ-lactams are intercepted by N-iodosuccinimide and trimethylsilyl azide, leading to double and triple C-H functionalizations at the γ-, δ-, and ε-positions. This new reactivity is exploited to convert alkyls into amino alcohols and allylic amines.
α-Alkylidene-γ-butyrolactone synthesis via one-pot C-H insertion/olefination: substrate scope and the total synthesis of (±)-cedarmycins A and B

Abstract A system for the synthesis of α-alkylidene-γ-butyrolactones via a one-pot C-H insertion/olefination sequence is described. The process is based on the rhodium catalysed C-H insertion reaction of α-diazo-α-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetates. The mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity and ready availability of starting materials are all key features. A wide range of successful reaction systems are reported (41 examples) highlighting the generality of the method. The application of this method in the total synthesis of the natural products (±)-cedarmycins A and B is also described.

Dibenzoylhydrazines are the nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists. Using comparative molecular field analysis, we previously found that the alkyl side chain of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) is three-dimensionally superposable with one of their two aryl moieties. To identify the aryl moiety that is better superposable on the alkyl chain, we synthesized compounds in which one of the two aryl groups of tebufenozide (N-t-butyl-N-3,5-dimethylbenzoyl-N'-4- ethylbenzoylhydrazine) is replaced by alkyl groups such as C4H9, C5H11, and C6H13. The molting hormonal activity of these compounds was measured using cultured integuments prepared from rice stem borers, Chilo suppressalis Walker, in terms of stimulation of incorporation of N:acetyl- [14C]glucosamine. N-t-Butyl-N-3,5-dimethylbenzoyl-N'-acylhydrazines with a hexanoyl or heptanoyl group were about 20-fold higher than that of 20E, whereas N-acyl-N-t-butyl-N'-4-ethylbenzoylhydrazines with a hexanoyl or heptanoyl group were much weaker than 20E. Their larvicidal activity was also measured against rice stem borers. The former series of compounds were much more active than the other series as well as 20E. Thus, the benzoyl moiety of dibenzoylhydrazines, which is bound to the secondary nitrogen atom (-NH-), is replaceable by aliphatic acyl groups without, greatly, affecting the biological activities.
