Total synthesis of papulacandin D

, p. 2774 - 2776 (2007)
A total synthesis of the antifungal agent papulacandin D is reported. The molecule is representative of a large class of C-aryl glycosides that exhibit significant antifungal activity. The synthetic strategy bifurcates the molecule into two nearly equal subunits, the arylglycoside and 18-carbon fatty acid side chain. The key strategic transformations are (1) the palladium catalyzed, organosilanolate-based cross-coupling of a protected glucal silanol and (2) a catalytic enantioselective allylation of a dienal using allyltrichlorosilane. The synthesis was accomplished in 31 steps overall from commercial starting materials to afford over 50 mg of the natural product. Copyright
Synthesis and antifungal properties of papulacandin derivatives
Van Der Kaaden, Marjolein,Breukink, Eefjan,Pieters, Roland J.
, p. 732 - 737 (2012/07/14)
Derivatives of an antifungal agent that targets the β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, papulacandin D, were synthesized and tested for activity. The papulacandin D structure contains a challenging benzannulated spiroketal unit, which is introduced in a palladiumcatalyzed cross-coupling reaction of a glycal silanolate and an aryl iodide followed by an oxidative spiroketalization. Four different variants were made, differing in the nature of the acyl side chain with respect to the length, and in the number and stereochemistry of the double bonds. Moderate biological activity was observed for the derivatives with a side chain based on palmitic acid and linoleic acid.
Total synthesis of (+)-papulacandin D

supporting information; experimental part, p. 4745 - 4759 (2010/08/06)
A total synthesis of (+)-papulacandin D has been achieved in 31 steps, in a 9.2% overall yield from commercially available materials. The synthetic strategy divided the molecule into two nearly equal sized subunits, the spirocyclic C-arylglycopyranoside and the polyunsaturated fatty acid side-chain. The C-arylglycopyranoside was prepared in 11 steps in a 30% overall yield from triacetoxyglucal. The fatty acid side-chain was also prepared in 11 steps in a 30% overall yield from geraniol. The key strategic transformations in the synthesis are: (1) a palladium-catalyzed, organosilanolate-based cross-coupling reaction of a dimethylglucal-silanol with an electron-rich and sterically hindered aromatic iodide and (2) a Lewis-base catalyzed, enantioselective allylation reaction of a dienal and allyltrichlorosilane. A critical element in the successful execution of the synthesis was the development of a suitable protecting group strategy that satisfied a number of stringent criteria.
