Identification of an unexpected 2-oxonia[3,3]sigmatropic rearrangement/aldol pathway in the formation of oxacyclic rings. Total synthesis of (+)-aspergillin PZ
摘要:
This paper reports the first unambiguous evidence that the cascade synthesis of tetrahydrofuran-containing oxacyclic molecules depicted in Scheme 12 can take place by a 2-oxonia[3,3]sigmatropic/aldol mechanism rather than by a Prins cyclization/pinacol rearrangement sequence. The 8-oxabicyclo [3.2.1]octyl aldehyde products of this reaction, 20 and 29, were employed to complete the first total synthesis of the structurally remarkable isoindolone alkaloid (+)-aspergillin PZ (1). The lack of activity seen in two tumor cell lines for synthetic (+)-aspergillin PZ calls into question the suggestion that aspergillin PZ, like many aspochalasin diterpenes, might exhibit useful antitumor properties.

The catalytic enantioselective formation of tetrasubstituted α-alkoxycarbonyl compounds is an ongoing challenge to synthetic chemists.[1] Fully-substituted α-hydroxyesters and acids comprise essential components of, and building blocks for, many bioactive natural products. These include quinic acid (1), cytotoxic leiodolide A (2),[2] and the anti-cancer agents in the harringtonine series (3a–f), whose activities depend dramatically on the presence and composition of an α-hydroxyester side-chain.[3] While many approaches to these important moieties exist,[4,5] we envisioned applying our recently developed palladium-catalyzed methods for the formation of enantioenriched all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in cyclic alkanones[6] to a general synthesis of C(α)-tetrasubstituted hydroxy carbonyl compounds.[7]
