Abstract: An asymmetric synthesis of (8Z,21R)-21-methylpentatriacont-8-ene, the sex pheromoneof the yellow-spotted longicorn beetle Psacotheahilaris, has been achieved using Evan’s induction as the keystep. Based on the asymmetric methylation product of chiral (R)-4-benzyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one, the carbon chainof the target molecule was assembled through aC5+C12+C11+C8sequence. (2R)-4-(Benzyloxy)-2-methylbutan-1-ol, which can be obtained fromγ-lactone following Evan’s protocol, was connected to aC12 alkyl group. The chiral methyl group remained thekey moiety (97% ee). After another Wittigreaction and catalytic hydrogenation step, the designed key intermediate(13R)-13-methylheptacosan-1-ol wasobtained. Finally, after oxidation and Wittig reaction, the synthesis of thetarget molecule was completed in 10 linear steps with an ultra-high overallyield of 36.2%.

Synthetic methods for the formation of alkenes usually produce the E-alkene because it is more stable. However, in isomerization reaction (double bond migration) that takes place in α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, when these carbonyl compounds are exposed to strong bases, furnish Z-alkenes highly stereoselective depending on the γ-substituent in the α, β-unsaturated carbonyl. This stereoselectivity can be attributed to the known Syn-effect. The synthetic value of this methodology is the achievement of chiral alcohol bearing an electron rich Z-alkene, as well as substituted, which was accomplished via removal of the oxazolidinone moiety under treatment with NaBH4, THF-H2O.

β-d-Mannosyl phosphomycoketide (C32-MPM), a naturally occurring glycolipid found in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, acts as a potent antigen to activate T-cells upon presentation by CD1c protein. The lipid portion of C32-MPM contains a C32-mycoketide, consisting of a saturated oligoisoprenoid chain with five chiral methyl branches. Here we develop several stereocontrolled approaches to assemble the oligoisoprenoid chain with high stereopurity (>96%) using Julia-Kocienski olefinations followed by diimide reduction. By careful choice of olefination sites, we could derive all chirality from a single commercial compound, methyl (2S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate (>99% ee). Our approach is the first highly stereocontrolled method to prepare C32-MPM molecule with >96% stereopurity from a single >99% ee starting material. We anticipate that our methods will facilitate the highly stereocontrolled synthesis of a variety of other natural products containing chiral oligoisoprenoid-like chains, including vitamins, phytol, insect pheromones, and archaeal lipids.
