Concise Synthetic Approaches for the Laurencia Family: Formal Total Syntheses of (±)-Laurefucin and (±)-E- and (±)-Z-Pinnatifidenyne
摘要:
Herein is presented a cohesive strategy to rapidly fashion diverse members of the lauroxocane family of natural products, leading to the shortest syntheses of any member to date. These efforts include racemic formal total syntheses of laurefucin and E- and Z-pinnatifidenyne as well as a facile preparation of the oxocene core of 3E-dehydrobromolaurefucin. The key elements of the design are novel diastereoselective ring-expanding bromoetherifications of tetrahydrofurans triggered by a unique bromonium source (BDSB, Et2SBr center dot SbBrCl5) and strategically positioned nucleophilic traps, where altering the identity and position of these traps affords diverse functionality on the eight-membered ring backbone. Its biogenetic relevance is also discussed in light of the range of substrates that successfully undergo this key rearrangement.

Chiral alkyl amines are omnipresent as bioactive molecules and synthetic intermediates. The catalytic and enantioselective synthesis of alkyl amines from readily accessible precursors is challenging. Here we develop a nickel-catalyzed hydroalkylation method to assemble a wide range of chiral alkyl amines from enecarbamates (N-Cbz-protected enamines) and alkyl halides with high regio- and enantioselectivity

3-Substituted glutaraldehyde monoacetals 7 have been prepared in 48-58% overall yield, consecutively by the alkylation of nitriles, first with 2-bromo-1,1-diethoxyethane (2) and then with 2-iodomethyl-1,3-dioxolane (4), followed by removal of the cyano group and selective hydrolysis of the diethyl acetal function.

The first asymmetric total synthesis of β-funebrene, which contains a highly strained -fused 5/5 ring system, has been achieved. The synthetically challenging and multi-functionalized -fused 5/5 ring systems were diastereoselectively and efficiently constructed by the first intramolecular [3 + 2] annulation reaction of allenylsilane-enes. This simple, direct transformation shows broad substrate scope
