A direct route to analogs of the naturally occurring tropolone β-thujaplicin has been developed in just four steps from furan. Using this method, a series of derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. Several of these compounds demonstrated very high levels of potency against bacterial and fungal pathogens with good selectivity over mammalian cells.

The bromotropolones (1), (2), and (3) cross-couple with organostannanes in the presence of palladium(0) to produce alkyl, alkenyl, or aryl substituted tropolones; the methodology has been applied to the synthesis of the monoterpenes β-dolabrin (4), β-thujaplicin (5), 7-methoxy-4-isopropyltropolone (7), and β-thujaplicinol (8).

Stereo- and regioselective hydroxylation of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ones was achieved by the action of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in methanolic potassium hydroxide (the Moriarty oxidation). Subsequent double elimination afforded a convenient preparation of substituted tropolones, as exemplified in a three-step synthesis of hinokitiol (1).

Natural products have long been recognized as a rich source of potent therapeutics but further development is often limited by high structural complexity and high molecular weight. In contrast, at the core of the thujaplicins is a lead-like tropolone scaffold characterized by relatively low molecular weight, ample sites for diversification, and metal-binding functionality poised for targeting a range of metalloenzyme drug targets. Here, we describe the development of this underutilized scaffold for the discovery of tropolone derivatives that function as isozyme-selective inhibitors of the validated anticancer drug target, histone deacetylase (HDAC). Several monosubstituted tropolones display remarkable levels of selectivity for HDAC2 and potently inhibit the growth of T-cell lymphocyte cell lines. The tropolones represent a new chemotype of isozyme-selective HDAC inhibitors.
