Maioli C, Amin HI, Chianese G, Minassi A, Reddell PW, Gaeta S, Taglialatela-Scafati O, Appendino G. Novel Skeletal Rearrangements of the Tigliane Diterpenoid Core. JOURNAL OF NATURAL PRODUCTS 2023; 86:2685-2690. [PMID: 37991924 PMCID: PMC10749460 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c00834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the role of the secondary 5-hydroxy group in the activity of the anticancer drug tigilanol tiglate (2b) (Stelfonta), oxidation of this epoxytigliane diterpenoid from the Australian rainforest plant Fontainea picrosperma was attempted. Eventually, 5-dehydrotigilanol tiglate (3a) proved too unstable to be characterized in terms of biological activity and, therefore, was not a suitable tool compound for bioactivity studies. On the other hand, a series of remarkable skeletal rearrangements associated with the presence of a 5-keto group were discovered during its synthesis, including a dismutative ring expansion of ring A and a mechanistically unprecedented dyotropic substituent swap around the C-4/C-10 bond. Taken together, these observations highlight the propensity of the α-hydroxy-β-diketone system to trigger complex skeletal rearrangements and pave the way to new areas of the natural products chemical space.

Abstract
Naphthoquinones form the core of a variety of drugs and natural products. As a result, the conjugation of 1,4-naphthoquinones with organic building blocks would offer a facile strategy toward scaffolds of biological interest. In this regard, we hereby report a Ru(II)-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of 1,4-naphthoquinones with benzoic acids to afford various naphthoquinone lactones. Additionally, ketone directed arylation of naphthoquinones using acetophenones under Ru(II)-catalysis was also illustrated. The feedstock availability of these precursors allowed access to a large library of naphthoquinone derivatives in good to excellent yields under fairly mild conditions. The practicality of these protocols was justified by carrying out a gram scale synthesis and further functionalizations. Also, preliminary mechanistic studies were carried out to probe the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Structurally unique natural products pose biosynthetic puzzles whose solution can inspire new chemical reactions. Herein, we propose a unified biosynthetic pathway towards some complex meroterpenoids-the hyperireflexolides, biyoulactones, hybeanones and hypermonones. This hypothesis led to the discovery of uncatalyzed, intramolecular carbonyl-ene reactions that are spontaneous at room temperature. We also developed an anionic cascade reaction featuring an α-hydroxy-β-diketone rearrangement and an intramolecular aldol reaction to access four distinct natural product scaffolds from a common intermediate.

Abstract
In the presence of a suitable acid or base, α-hydroxyaldehydes, ketones, and imines can undergo isomerization that features the 1,2-shift of an alkyl or aryl group. In the process, the hydroxy group is converted to a carbonyl and the aldehyde/ketone or imine is converted to an alcohol or amine. Such α-ketol/α-iminol rearrangements are used in a wide variety of synthetic applications including asymmetric synthesis, tandem reactions, and the total synthesis and biosynthesis of natural products. This review explores the use of α-ketol rearrangements in these contexts over the past two decades.

Abstract
Herein we report the first enantioselective total synthesis of 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid-derived meroterpenoids (-)-berkeleyone A and its five congeners ((-)-preaustinoids A, A1, B, B1, and B2) in 12-15 steps, starting from commercially available 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid hydrate. Based upon the recognition of latent symmetry within D-ring, our convergent synthesis features two critical reactions: 1) a symmetry-breaking, diastereoselective dearomative alkylation to assemble the entire carbon core, and 2) a Sc(OTf)3 -mediated sequential Krapcho dealkoxycarbonylation/carbonyl α-tert-alkylation to forge the intricate bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane framework. We also conducted our preliminary biomimetic investigations and uncovered a series of rearrangements (α-ketol, α-hydroxyl-β-diketone, etc.) responsible for the biomimetic diversification of (-)-berkeleyone A into its five preaustinoid congeners.

Abstract
In our previous study, an unusual rearrangement reaction was discovered whereby dinaphthyl ketones with three hydroxy groups at restricted positions were transformed into a phenalenone ring and a benzene ring. Using the rearrangement as a key reaction, the first total syntheses of FR-901235 and auxarthrones A-D from an unstable triketone common intermediate are described. Furthermore, lamellicolic anhydride was synthesized from the triketone. This conversion is part of the putative biosynthetic pathway and was achieved experimentally for the first time.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective acyloin rearrangement of cyclic α-ketols has been developed with a chiral Al(III)-N,N'-dioxide complex as catalyst. This strategy provided an array of optically active 2-acyl-2-hydroxy cyclohexanones in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities. The asymmetric isomerizations of acyclic α-hydroxy aldehydes and α-iminols were achieved as well under modified conditions, affording the corresponding chiral α-hydroxy ketones and α-amino ketones in moderate results. Moreover, further transformations of product to enantioenriched diols were carried out.

Abstract
Tricyclic carbazole is an important scaffold in many naturally occurring metabolites, as well as valuable building blocks. Here we report the reconstitution of the ring A formation of the bacterial neocarazostatin A carbazole metabolite. We provide evidence of the involvement of two unusual aromatic polyketide proteins. This finding suggests how new enzymatic activities can be recruited to specific pathways to expand biosynthetic capacities. Finally, we leveraged our bioinformatics survey to identify the untapped capacity of carbazole biosynthesis.

Abstract
Chiral Lewis acid catalyzed asymmetric formation of cyclobutanones from α-silyloxyacroleins and α-alkyl or α-aryl diazoesters has been developed. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyst, various α-silyloxycyclobutanones possessing a chiral β-quaternary center were synthesized in high yield (up to 91%) with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity (up to 98% ee and up to >20:1 dr) through tandem cyclopropanation/semipinacol rearrangement. The synthetic potential of this method was illustrated by conversion of the product to various cyclic compounds such as γ-lactone, cyclobutanol, and cyclopentanone.

Abstract
We report an unprecedented organocatalytic enantioselective acyloin rearrangement of α,α-disubstituted α-hydroxy acetals. In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral binol-derived N-triflyl phosphoramide, α-hydroxy acetals rearranged to α-alkoxy ketones in good to high yields with high enantioselectivities. Formation of an ion pair between the in situ generated oxocarbenium ion and the chiral phosphoramide anion was proposed to be responsible for the highly efficient transfer of chirality. Conditions for removal of cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl groups from the corresponding α-alkoxy ketones were uncovered underpinning their potential general utility as hydroxy protecting groups. Conversion of the rearranged products to the enantioenriched α-hydroxy ketone, 1,2-diol, β-amino alcohol and 1,4-dioxane was also documented.
