Development of a Third-Generation Total Synthesis of (+)-Discodermolide: An Expedient Still−Gennari-Type Fragment Coupling Utilizing an Advanced β-Ketophosphonate
摘要:
A novel total synthesis of the complex polyketide discodermolide, a promising anticancer agent of marine sponge origin, has been completed in 11.1% overall yield over 21 linear steps. This third-generation approach features an unprecedented Still-Gennari-type HWE olefination reaction between advanced C1-C8 beta-ketophosphonate 61 and C9-C24 aldehyde 7, introducing the (8z)alkene with 10:1 selectivity. The stereotetrad found in the C1-C8 subunit 61 was established via a highly diastereoselective boron-mediated aldol reaction/in situ reduction between ketone (S)-8 and 3-benzyloxypropanal. The (7S)-configuration was installed by the reduction of enone 73 with K-Selectride.

Stereoselective Synthesis of the C<sub>1</sub>-C<sub>7</sub>Segment of (+)-Discodermolide
A new and highly stereoselectivesynthesis of the C1-C7 segment of (+)-discodermolide, the marine natural product having the potent immunosuppressive activity, is described in which the stereospecific methylation of γ,δ-epoxy acrylate with trimethylaluminum and the intramolecular conjugate addition of an acetal alkoxide anion are involved as key steps.
