Enantioselective Synthesis of (−)-LL-C10037α from Benzoquinone
摘要:
The enantioselective total synthesis of the Streptomyces metabolite (-)-LL-C10037 alpha has been accomplished in 10 steps and 20% overall yield. An early chiral intermediate was resolved with Candida rugosa lipase to provide (+)-5 with an enantiomeric excess greater than or equal to 98%. The synthesis is notable in that no protecting groups are required and that all carbons in the core structure of LL-C10037 alpha are derived from the readily available p-benzoquinone.

Diol 2, derived in two steps from p-benzoquinone, was converted to epoxy alcohol 3. The latter was resolved with crude Candida rugosa lipase in isopropenyl acetate/toluene to give acetate (-)-4 and residual alcohol (+)-3. Oxirane ring opening reactions of 3 and the corresponding acetate and TBDMS derivatives with a variety of nucleophiles gave diastereomerically pure 3,4,5,6-tetrasubstituted cyclohexene derivatives of type 6. X-ray crystal structures were obtained on compounds 6e, 6m and the diacetate prepared from 6l. Nitrogen nucleophiles provided entry in various aziridines 10. Pd(0)-catalyzed nucleophilic additions to substrate 5 cleanly provided the diastereomeric pattern of type 11. trans-5,6-Disubstituted cyclohexadienes 13 were obtained by an unusual syn-reductive elimination on bromocarbonates 12 utilizing Pd or Zn.
