Biosynthetically Guided Structure–Activity Relationship Studies of Merochlorin A, an Antibiotic Marine Natural Product

The onset of new multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria demands continuous development of antibacterial agents with new chemical scaffolds and mechanisms of action. We present the first structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of 16 derivatives of a s

Mechanistic evidence for an α-oxoketene pathway in the formation of β-ketoamides/esters via Meldrum's acid adducts

A practical, one-pot process for the preparation of β-keto amides via a three-component reaction, including Meldrum's acid, an amine, and a carboxylic acid, has been developed. Key to development of an efficient, high-yielding process was an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of the multistep process. Kinetic studies were carried out via online IR monitoring and subsequent principal component analysis which provided a means of profiling the concentration of both the anionic and free acid forms of the Medrum's adduct 6 in real time. These studies, both in the presence and absence of nucleophiles, strongly suggest that formation of β-keto amides from acyl Meldrum's acids occurs via α-oxoketene species 2 and rule out other possible reaction pathways proposed in the literature, such as via protonated α-oxoketene intermediates 3 or nucleophilic addition-elimination pathways.

Biomimetic total synthesis of (±)-merochlorina

Inspired: The proposed biosynthetic pathway toward the potent antibiotic meroterpenoid (±)-merochlorinA inspired its concise total synthesis. The key steps in the synthesis are a one-pot aromatization-alkylation reaction, followed by a biomimetic oxidativ

Biomimetic synthesis of (±)-merochlorin B

A short total synthesis, guided by biosynthetic considerations, of racemic merochlorin B is presented. The formation of its isomer, merochlorin A, was not observed under the conditions. Key steps include a directed ortho-metalation (DoM), a selective demethylation, an ortho-allylation, and an oxidative [3 + 2]-cycloaddition mediated by an iodine(III) reagent.
