Chacón-Morales PA. Unprecedented diterpene skeletons isolated from vascular plants in the last twenty years (2001-2021). PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2022; 204:113425. [PMID: 36096268 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2022.113425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Every year there are hundreds of reports about the isolation of undescribed terpenoids based on novel functionalizations of known carbocyclic skeletons series. However, on some occasions the compounds obtained have a carbocyclic skeleton that does not correspond with the series established, in these peculiar opportunities, in addition to finding an undescribed natural product, is obtained an unprecedented carbocyclic skeleton, whose biogenesis must necessarily involve other additional steps that explain its formation. This review accounts for the reports of seventy-nine unprecedented diterpene skeletons (corresponding to one-hundred-three undescribed diterpenoids) isolated from vascular plants in the last two decades. According to the genus, Euphorbia and Salvia are the most prolific in reports of unprecedented diterpene skeletons with a total of twenty, and nine skeletons, respectively. If the findings are expressed in terms of the family, Euphorbiaceae and Lamiaceae have the highest number of reports of undescribed diterpene skeletons, with twenty-seven and twenty-two, respectively. Finally, fifty-three skeletons are derived from higher diterpenoids (2-12, 68, 69, 86, 104-109, 158-161, 186, 189, 222, 250-255, 285-298, 403-404, 415, 416, and 436), twenty are derived from lower diterpenoids (135, 136, 192-194, 225-229, 363-370, 397, and 425), and six (96, 97, 147, 148, 205, and 206) are derived from skeletons whose biogenesis has not yet been established, or at least, cannot be formally included within the groups mentioned above. This article comprehensively highlights the hypothetical biosynthetic pathway for each of the one-hundred-three undescribed compounds with unprecedented diterpene skeletons and summarizes their most significant biological activities.

Abstract
A green and practical electrochemical method for the synthesis of C-3-sulfonated benzothiophenes from 2-alkynylthioanisoles and sodium sulfinates was developed under oxidant- and catalyst-free conditions. Moderate to good yields of sulfonated benzothiophenes bearing important and useful functional groups have been achieved at a constant current. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated a tandem radical addition-cyclization pathway. Moreover, the protocol is easy to scale up and exhibits good reaction efficiency.

Abstract
Decisions, decisions, decisions: the interplay between different retrosynthetic strategies in the synthesis of the highly bridged, polycyclic arcutane natural products.
Retrosynthetic analysis is a cornerstone of modern natural product synthesis, providing an array of tools for disconnecting structures. However, discussion of retrosynthesis is often limited to the reactions used to form selected bonds in the forward synthesis. This review details three strategies for retrosynthesis, focusing on how they can be combined to plan the synthesis of polycyclic natural products, such as atropurpuran and the related arcutane alkaloids. Recent syntheses of natural products containing the arcutane framework showcase how these strategies for retrosynthesis can be combined to plan the total synthesis of highly caged scaffolds. Comparison of multiple syntheses of the same target provides a unique opportunity for detailed analysis of the impact of retrosynthetic disconnections on synthesis outcomes.

Abstract
The natural product (+)-grandifloracin is a potent "anti-austerity" agent, able to suppress the ability of various pancreatic cancer cell lines to tolerate conditions of nutrient deprivation. Such anti-austerity agents represent a promising approach to cancer chemotherapy. Here we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of racemic analogues of grandifloracin bearing diverse sidechains, of which two show enhanced potency in comparison with the natural product. Additionally, several unexpected by-products containing modifications of the grandifloracin core were isolated, identified and similarly evaluated for biological activity.

Abstract
We have accomplished the asymmetric total synthesis of arcutinidine, arcutinine, and arcutine, three arcutine-type C20-diterpenoid alkaloids. A pentacyclic intermediate was rapidly assembled by using two Diels-Alder reactions. We developed a cascade sequence of Prins cyclization and Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement to construct the core of arcutinidine, which was then elaborated into an oxygenated pentacycle through a scalable route. Chemoselective reductive amination followed by spontaneous imine formation furnished the pyrroline motif in the final stage. We clarified the S configuration of the α-carbon of the acyl group within arcutine through chemical synthesis and crystallographic analysis.

Abstract
Feedstock aromatic compounds are compelling low-cost starting points from which molecular complexity can be generated rapidly via oxidative dearomatization. Oxidative dearomatizations commonly rely heavily on hypervalent iodine or heavy metals to provide the requisite thermodynamic driving force for overcoming aromatic stabilization energy. This article describes oxidative dearomatizations of 2-(hydroxymethyl)phenols via their derived bis(dichloroacetates) using hydrogen peroxide as a mild oxidant that intercepts a transient quinone methide. A stereochemical study revealed that the reaction proceeds by a new mechanism relative to other phenol dearomatizations and is complementary to extant methods that rely on hypervalent iodine. Using a new chiral phase-transfer catalyst, the first asymmetric syntheses of 1-oxaspiro[2.5]octa-5,7-dien-4-ones were reported. The synthetic utility of the derived 1-oxaspiro[2.5]octadienones products is demonstrated in a downstream complexity-generating transformation.
