First Synthesis of Caerulomycin B. A New Synthesis of Caerulomycin C
摘要:
Caerulomycins produced by Streptomyces caeruleus are bipyridinic molecules endowed with antibiotic properties. The first synthesis of caerulomycin B (1) as well as a new synthesis of caerulomycin C (2) are reported. Starting from 3-hydroxypyridine, the same methodology was used to prepare both compounds 1 and 2. Efficiently controlled reactions such as metalation to allow the synthesis of 2,6-diiodo-3,4-dialkoxypyridines, which are key intermediates, and further halogen lithium exchange and cross-coupling to reach the targets molecules 1 and 2 have been developed.

A wide range of directing groups (ester, ketone, acetate, aryl sulfonate, triazene, carbamate) allow the regioselective directed ortho insertion (DoI) of zinc in the presence of LiCl leading to polyfunctional aryl and heteroaryl zinc reagents.
