Enantioselective Syntheses of the Proposed Structures of Cytotoxic Macrolides Iriomoteolide-1a and -1b
摘要:
Enantioselective total syntheses of the proposed structures of macrolide cytotoxic agents iriomoteolide-1a and -1b have been accomplished. The synthesis was carried out in a convergent and stereoselective manner. However, the present work suggests that the reported structures have been assigned incorrectly. The synthesis features Julia-Kocienski olefination, Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, Brown asymmetric crotylboration, a Sakurai reaction, an aldol reaction, and enzymatic resolution as the key steps.

An enantioselective approach to a diastereomer of iriomoteolide-1a is described. Highlighted is a Sml(2)-mediated intramolecular reductive cyclization approach to complex cyclic hemiketals. An acetylide-chloroformate coupling strategy is also featured. Our results show that the structures of iriomoteolide-1a-1c require careful reassessment.
