The first asymmetric total synthesis of fungal secondary metabolites, (R)-nodulone C (4) and trans-nodulone D (5) has been reported through the chemoenzymatic approach. The strategy utilizes NADPH-dependent naphthol reductases of Magnaporthe grisea for the reduction of putative biosynthetic substrates, synthesized non-enzymatically in multiple steps. A dihydronaphthalenone 32 and cis-nodulone D (30) has also been synthesized chemoenzymatically. The work implies for similar steps during the biosynthesis of nodulones and their analogs with the involvement of tetrahydroxynaphthalene reductase related enzyme(s).

AbstractFull details of the asymmetric total synthesis of erythro-8-O-4′-neolignan, machilin C, and its analogue perseal A are reported. The synthesis was involved in the Sharpless dihydroxylation reaction that occurred with excellent asymmetric induction, and the Mitsunobu reaction which occurred with inversion of the absolute configuration from the threo to the erythro isomer. The synthesis was achieved from simple vanillin in eight to twelve steps.

A concise stereoselective approach to functionalized δ-lactone skeleton from monosilylated ethylene glycol as a starting material and its application to the asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-trans-aerangis lactone have been demonstrated. The synthesis utilizes the organocatalyzed MacMillan’s cross aldol reaction as a key step.
