Total Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Verticipyrone and Analogues
摘要:
Total synthesis of verticipyrone, a novel NADH-fumarate reductase inhibitor, has been accomplished by a convergent approach using novel "Reverse Julia olefination" method. During total synthetic studies, we also prepared and evaluated several synthetic verticipyrone analogues, some of which exhibited more potent antiparasitic activity than the natural verticipyrone.

Two steps is the rule: A concise synthesis of versatile α′‐methoxy‐γ‐pyrones (see scheme) is described that uses an innovative desymmetrization of α,α′‐dimethoxy‐γ‐pyrone, relying upon conjugate addition of nucleophiles. This new strategy is applied to the preparation of α‐methyl‐ and α‐carboxaldehyde‐α′‐methoxy‐γ‐pyrones and to a short synthesis of verticipyrone.

Verticipyrone (1) has been synthesized in six overall steps from commercially available ethyl-2-methylacetoacetate. This represents the first successful application of a modified Negishi carboalumination nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to a chloromethylated pyrone. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
