Due to their pronounced bioactivity and limited availability from natural resources, metabolites of the soft coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, such as erogorgiaene and the pseudopterosines, represent important target molecules for chemical synthesis. We have now developed a particularly short and efficient route towards these marine diterpenes exploiting an operationally convenient enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydrovinylation as the chirogenic step. Other noteworthy C?C bond forming transformations include diastereoselective Lewis acid-mediated cyclizations, a Suzuki coupling and a carbonyl ene reaction. Starting from 4-methyl-styrene the anti-tubercular agent (+)-erogorgiaene (>98 % ee) was prepared in only 7 steps with 46 % overall yield. In addition, the synthesis of the pseudopterosin A aglycone was achieved in 12 steps with 30 % overall yield and, surprisingly, was found to exhibit a similar anti-inflammatory activity (inhibition of LPS-induced NF-κB activation) as a natural mixture of pseudopterosins A?D or iso-pseudopterosin A, prepared by β-D-xylosylation of the synthetic aglycone.

trans-7,8-Dimethoxy-11,12-dehydrocalamenene, a projected intermediate for the total synthesis of marine serrulatane and amphilectane diterpenes, was efficiently synthesized. Starting from a styrene, asymmetric Rh-catalyzed hydroboration using a novel chiral P.P-bidentate ligand afforded an organoboron intermediate (93% ee) which was directly used for C-C bond formation (double homologation, Suzuki coupling). The 1,4-trans-disubstituted tetralin skeleton was selectively formed by a Friedel-Crafts-type catlonic cyclization under strictly aprotic conditions (Me2AlCl) to suppress a remarkable proton-catalyzed disproportionation via diastereoselective hydride transfer.
