Biomimetic Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (−)-Laurefucin via an Organoselenium-Mediated Intramolecular Hydroxyetherification
摘要:
The first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-laurefucin (1), a unique C-15 acetogenin with a 2,8-dioxabicyclo[5.2.1]decane skeleton, has been accomplished in nine steps in 31% overall yield from known oxocene 10. Highlights of the highly stereoselective synthesis include a novel organoselenium-mediated biomimetic hydroxyetherification.
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.
