Total Synthesis of (+)-Crocacin C Using Hidden Symmetry
摘要:
A highly convergent and protecting-group-free synthesis of (+)-crocacin C, featuring an enzymatic enantioselective desymmetrization of a meso-diol, a base-induced ring opening of a THP ring, and a one-pot hydrostannylation/Stille coupling as the key steps, is reported. The natural product was obtained in 11 steps and 22.3% overall yield starting from readily available oxabicycle 1. Finally, a unique enantioselective step, an enzymatic desymmetrization, revealed four stereogenic centers and created one in C4 of the THP furnishing the dense building block 4 with high enantioselectivity (ce >98%).
The first synthesis of (+)-crocacin C (3) in optically pure form is achieved following a convergent strategy. The synthesis also establishes the absolute stereochemistries of this novel class of potent antifungal and highly cytotoxic compounds. The naturally occurring crocacin C has (6S,7S,8R,9S) configuration, which is also the same for other congeners of the family, crocacins A, B and D.

A concise, enantioselective synthesis of (+)-crocacin C is described, featuring a highly diastereoselective mismatched double asymmetric delta-stannylcrotylboration of the stereochemically demanding chiral aldehyde 9 with the bifunctional crotylborane reagent (S)-E-10. The total synthesis of (+)-crocacin C was accomplished in seven steps (longest linear sequence) starting from commercially available precursors.

The total syntheses of crocacins A-D are described. The key steps were a syn-aldol reaction followed by anti-reduction to secure the stereo-tetrad and acylation of an ene- or dienecarbamate to form the enamide. Crown Copyright (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The step-economic total synthesis of (+)-crocacin C has been achieved in 20% yield from commercially available starting materials. This approach requires the isolation of only 8 intermediates and can provide a reliable supply of (+)-crocacin C for the development of new antifungal and crop protection agents.
