, p. 2982 - 2991 (2014/04/17)
Potentially scalable total synthesis of reblastatin was achieved based on Panek's previous study. Novel and convenient synthetic routes were developed for the known C8-C20 and C1-C7 coupling partners. The challenging C8-C20 fragment was prepared from TBS

A full account of an asymmetric synthesis of reblastatin (1) and the first total synthesis of autolytimycin (2) and related structural compounds is described. The syntheses expand the utility of a highly regio- and diastereoselective hydrometalation aldehyde addition sequence to assemble the fully functionalized ansa chain of the natural products. Also documented is an intramolecular copper-mediated amidation reaction to close the 19-membered macrolactams. The amidation reaction was also employed for the generation of structural derivatives (6-9) of phenolic ansamycins. Ansamycin natural products and selected structural analogues were evaluated in a competitive binding assay to breast cancer cell lysate and a cytotoxicity assay. Both reblastatin (1) and autolytimycin (2) were shown to bind the heat shock protein 90 with enhanced binding activity (~25 nM) than 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, 4), a geldanamycin (3) derivative currently under evaluation for treatment of cancer (~100 nM).

Enantioselective total synthesis of reblastatin is described. The synthesis highlights hydrozirconation, transmetalation, aldehyde addition sequence to install E-trisubstituted olefin and C7 stereocenter, and the first use of an intramolecular Buchwald-like amidation reaction to close the 19-membered macrolactam.
