Abstract
Asymmetric total synthesis of neobraclactone C was finished for the first time using the convergent synthetic strategy in 22 steps in the longest linear sequence from known materials. The key steps include a steric hindrance/hydrogen bond dual-controlled Heck arylation of α,β-unsaturated ketone to construct hemiketal and cis-alkenyl in one step and a CeCl3-catalyzed tricycle formation.

Influence of the Substituents on the Opening of Silylepoxy Alcohols: 5- exo-Cyclization towards Tetrahydrofurans vs. Unexpected Side Reaction Leading to Tetrahydropyrans. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26237386. [PMID: 34885968 PMCID: PMC8658919 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26237386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The regioselective ring opening of epoxy alcohols is an effective method for the synthesis of different types of oxacycles. The 5-exo opening being preferred vs. the 6-endo mode, according to Baldwin rules, the use of silyl-substituted oxiranes has been reported as a possible method to favor the 6-endo cyclization. However, there is a need for a detailed study on the different factors (structural factors, catalyst nature or conditions) that influence this process. In this paper, the acid-catalyzed cyclization of epoxysilyl alcohols was studied, focusing on the effect of substituents and reaction conditions on the outcome of the process. Two types of heterocycles (tetrahydrofurans or tetrahydropyrans) were selectively obtained depending on the structure of the initial epoxysilyl alcohol. Interestingly, cyclization of hindered epoxysilyl alcohols mainly proceeds through an unexpected side reaction, which implies a previous isomerization to an aldehyde. A mechanistic proposal for the formation of the different products is presented.

Abstract
The marine macrolide chagosensine is supposedly distinguished by a (Z,Z)-configured 1,3-chlorodiene contained within a highly strained 16-membered lactone ring, which also incorporates two trans-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran (THF) rings; this array is unique. After our initial synthesis campaign had shown that the originally proposed structure is incorrect, the published data set was critically revisited to identify potential mis-assignments. The "northern" THF ring and the anti-configured diol in the "southern" sector both seemed to be sites of concern, thus making it plausible that a panel of eight diastereomeric chagosensine-like compounds would allow the puzzle to be solved. To meet the challenge, the preparation of the required building blocks was optimized, and a convergent strategy for their assembly was developed. A key role was played by the cobalt-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of alken-5-ol derivatives ("Mukaiyama cyclization"), which is shown to be exquisitely chemoselective for terminal alkenes, leaving even terminal alkynes (and other sites of unsaturation) untouched. Likewise, a palladium-catalyzed alkyne alkoxycarbonylation reaction with formation of an α-methylene-γ-lactone proved instrumental, which had not found application in natural product synthesis before. Further enabling steps were a nickel-catalyzed "Tamaru-type" homocrotylation, stereodivergent aldehyde homologations, radical hydroindation, and palladium-catalyzed alkyne-1,2-bis-stannation. The different building blocks were assembled in a serial fashion to give the idiosyncratic chlorodienes by an unprecedented site-selective Stille coupling followed by copper-mediated tin/chlorine exchange. The macrolactones were closed under forcing Yamaguchi conditions, and the resulting products were elaborated into the targeted compound library. Yet, only one of the eight diastereomers turned out to be stable in the solvent mixture that had been used to analyze the natural product; all other isomers were prone to ring opening and/or ring expansion. In addition to this stability issue, our self-consistent data set suggests that chagosensine has almost certainly little to do with the structure originally proposed by the isolation team.

Abstract
Tetrahydropyrans are abundantly found in marine natural products. The interesting biological properties of these compounds and their analogues make necessary the development of convenient procedures for their synthesis. In this paper, an atom economy access to tetrahydropyrans by intramolecular acid-mediated cyclization of silylated alkenols is described. p-TsOH has shown to be an efficient reagent to yield highly substituted tetrahydropyrans. Moreover, excellent diastereoselectivities are obtained both for unsubstituted and alkylsubstituted vinylsilyl alcohols. The methodology herein developed may potentially be applied to the synthesis of marine drugs derivatives.
