A Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of the cis-Decalin Core Associated with the Novel Anti-Mitotic Agent Phomopsidin: Some Observations Concerning a High-Pressure-Promoted Diels–Alder Cycloaddition Reaction of (1S,2R)-3-Methyl-cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol and the Anionic Oxy–Cope Rearrangement of Compounds Derived from the Adduct

Rearrangement Reaction

The enantiomerically pure and enzymatically derived cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 2 engages in a diastereofacially selective Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction with commercially available lactone 3 at 19 kbar to afford adduct 4, which is readily elaborated to the diene-ol 13. Treatment of this last compound with KH/18[crown]-6 resulted in successive anionic oxy-Cope and 1,2-Wittig rearrangements to afford acyloin 14 embodying the cis-decalin core associated with the natural product phomopsidin (1). Compound 16 also engages in an anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement reaction to give, depending on the molar equivalents of base used, either the cis-decalin 17 or the hexahydroindene 18. The structure of compound 18 has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Cycloaddition Product

The 1-amino-2-neopentylsilenes 5-8 are formed in the reaction of LitBu with the aminovinylsilanes 1-4 in n-pentane (addition of LitBu to the vinylic double bond with subsequent 1,2-elimination of LiCl). The α-Li adducts initially formed are trapped by Me3SiOSO2CF3 to yield α-SiMe3-silanes. The silenes undergo insertion reactions into the Si—O bond of Me3SiOMe. In the absence of any trapping reagent dimerization occurs. One of the 1,3-disilacyclobutanes thus formed (15) could be examined by X-ray diffraction. Reacting with 1,3-butadienes the chlorosubstituted silenes 5 and 8 yield [2 + 2]-cycloaddition products. With 1,3-cyclohexadiene Diels-Alder adducts are also obtained, but with cyclopentadiene the [4+2] adducts are formed exclusively. Products of an ene-reaction are observed upon treatment of 2,5-norbornadiene with the silenes 5 and 8.The methylsubstituted silene 6 does not undergo any cycloaddition reaction at all, while from silene 7 only traces of the cycloadducts are produced. Both species mainly yield the dimers. The preference for the [2+2] reaction type, exhibited by the silenes 5 and 8, is due to their polarity. The almost complete absence or low yield of any cycloaddition products from 6 or 7 can be correlated with the energy levels of their frontier molecular orbitals. The distribution of the disilacyclobutanes and cycloaddition product isomers is explained by the characteristics of the stereospecifically Ε-configurated silenes. The product distribution can also be rationalized considering the ambiphilic nature of the system ViRR′SiCl/Li1Bu.

New Compounds

Four new compounds including two new sesquiterpenoid dimers, commiphoroids E (1) and F (2), a new triterpenoid (3), and a new sesquiterpenoid (4), along with three known terpenoids (5−7) were isolated from Resina Commiphora, whose structures were identified by NMR spectra, HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 both bear an O-bridge ring and feature a plausible [4 + 2] Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction. Antimycobacterial activities show that all the tested compounds (200 μM) could inhibit the growth of both sensitive and clinically multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolated strains. In addition, cellular toxicity of the isolates against human cancer cells and THP-1 monocyte cells was examined.

Active Natural

In connection with efforts to develop an efficient total synthesis of the biologically active natural product taxinine 1, the enzymatically-derived and monochiral cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 7 was converted, over several steps including a Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction, into the bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one 18. Reaction of the last compound with the organocerium reagent 22 afforded the 1,5-diene 23 which engaged in an anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement reaction to give, after C-methylation of the product enolate 25, bicyclo[5.3.1]undecenone 27 embodying the AB-ring system of target 1. Two methods for allylic oxidation of such products were developed and several unsuccessful attempts to effect a cyclization reaction so as to establish the taxane C-ring are described.

Boiling Toluene

Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.

And Behavior

Some novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with (2-methoxyethyl)diphenylphosphine, (2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine, and 2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-6-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained for the first two complexes, and their crystal structure was determined. The novel compounds were then used in association with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, and their behavior was compared with that exhibited in the polymerization of the same monomer by the systems CoCl2(PnPrPh2)2/MAO and CoCl2(PPh3)2/MAO. Some significant differences were observed depending on the MAO/Co ratio used, and a plausible interpretation for such a different behavior is proposed.

Cyclic Ketene Acetals

The anomeric imido esters 5 and 6, appropriate precursors for C-nucleoside synthesis, were prepared and utilized as heterodienophiles in a Diels-Alder reaction with inverse electron demand to yield the novel, protected 1.2.4-triazine C-nucleosides 8 and 9. They could be deprotected by treatment with 70% trifluoroacetic acid to furnish the free C-nucleosides 10 and 11. The triazine „aglycon“ of 8 contains an electron deficient diazadiene system, highly activated to react with various electron rich dienophiles such as enamines, enol ethers and several cyclic ketene acetals in an „inverse“ [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction. The Diels-Alder adducts spontaneously eliminate N2 and after follow-up reactions the O-TBDPS protected pyridine-C-nucleosides 13, 15, 17,19, 21 and 23 are formed. Removal of the protecting group by treatment with CF3CO2H /H2O leads to the corresponding 2’,3’-dideoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl- pyridines.

Compound 3a was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing the rarely observed bicyclo[2.1.0]pentaphosphapentane unit. At room temperature, the novel compound [{Cp‴Fe}(µ,η4:1-P5Ph2){Cp‴(CO)2Fe}][PF6] (4) is formed by decarbonylation. Reacting 1 with in situ generated diphenyl arsenium ions gives short-lived intermediates at 193 K which disproportionate at room temperature into tetraphenyldiarsine and [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}4(µ4,η1:1:1:1-P8)][OTf]2 (5) containing a tetracyclo[3.3.0.02,7.03,6]octaphosphaoctane ligand.

The structure of the compound obtained on heating the naturally occurring clerodane furanoditerpene (1) had been formulated as (2) on the basis of spectroscopic studies. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the dihydro derivative of (2) has confirmed this and provides support for the stereochemistry previously assigned to (1) on the basis of chemical evidence.

The bromoepoxide 5a, which is obtained from the homochiral and enzymatically derived cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 1a, is readily and efficiently transformed into either isomer 8a or the corresponding methoxymethyl-ether 2a. Though both of these products can be fully characterized, they are somewhat unstable, with the former being converted into the crystalline enone 3a on standing and the latter readily participating in a Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction with the potent dienophile N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione to give adduct 7a. The single-crystal X-ray structures of compounds 3a and 7a are reported. Using the related chemistry the chloro-analogue, 3b, of enone 3a can be obtained.
