Pentacyclic Core

We report the first total synthesis of (–)-kopsifoline A and (+)-kopsifoline E. Our synthetic strategy features a biogenetically inspired regioselective C17-functionalization of a versatile intermediate containing the pentacyclic core of aspidosperma alkaloids. While this advance intermediate provides (–)-kopsifoline D via C3–C21 bond formation, regioselective C17-boronation of its indoline substructure prior to introduction of the F-ring enables access to (–)-kopsifoline A and (+)-kopsifoline E. The vinylogous urethane substructure of the key intermediate was critical in C17-boronation over a competing C7-boronation in related indole derived substrates. After oxidation of the C17–B bond to introduce the C17-ether, the C3–C21 bond of the targets is secured under the Mitsunobu reaction conditions with the vinylogous urethane as the nucleophilic component.

Catalyzed Oxidation

The Csp2-O bond formation via direct oxidation of the Csp2-H bond on electron-rich compounds such as naphthols, is a process that generally requires drastic reaction conditions like high temperature or pressure. Addition of strong oxidants as H2O2, hypervalent iodine reagents (λ3 o λ5), expensive transition metals or rare earth elements, such as Mo, Ru Pt or Ce, is usually necessary. As part of this study on oxidative dimerization of phenols towards the total synthesis of ningalin D, 1,3-naphthalenediol was explored as starting material using stoichiometric amounts of Cu(I) and atmospheric molecular oxygen. A novel two-step sequence reaction for the formation of a 1,4-naphthoquinone was found instead of a dimerization product. The synthesis of this compound involves two consecutive oxidation processes.

Sharpless Asymmetric Epoxidation

A stereoselective total synthesis of jomthonic acid A is described. The key features of the synthetic strategy are a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, a Gilmann reagent-induced methylation, a Mitsunobu reaction, a Yamaguchi esterification, and an O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU)-mediated amide coupling. Jomthonic acid A is an architecturally rare amino acid containing a β-methylphenylalanine residue and a 4-methyl-(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate moiety. It shows antidiabetic and antiatherogenic activities when tested against mouse ST-13 preadiopocytes.

Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions

The diverse molecular architectures of terpene natural products are assembled by exquisite enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Successful recapitulation of these transformations using chemical synthesis is hard to predict from first principles and therefore challenging to execute. A means of evaluating the feasibility of such chemical reactions would greatly enable the development of concise syntheses of complex small molecules. Herein, we report the computational analysis of the energetic favorability of a key bio-inspired transformation, which we use to inform our synthetic strategy. This approach was applied to synthesize two constituents of the historically challenging indole diterpenoid class, resulting in a concise route to (–)-paspaline A in 9 steps from commercially available materials and the first pathway to and structural confirmation of emindole PB in 13 steps. This work highlights how traditional retrosynthetic design can be augmented with quantum chemical calculations to reveal energetically feasible synthetic disconnections, minimizing time-consuming and expensive empirical evaluation.

Background: Substituted piperazine heterocycles are among the most significant structural components of pharmaceuticals. N1/N4 substituted piperazine containing drugs and biological targets are ranked 3rd in the top most frequent nitrogen heterocycles in U.S. FDA approved drugs. The high demand of N1/N4 substituted piperazine containing biologically active compounds and U.S. FDA approved drugs, has prompted the development of Pd catalyzed C-N bond formation reactions for their synthesis. Buchwald-Hartwig reaction is the key tool for the synthesis of these compounds. Objective: This review provides strategies for Pd catalyzed C-N bond formation at N1/N4 of piperazine in the synthesis of drugs and biological targets with diverse use of catalyst-ligand system and reaction parameters. Conclusion: It is clear from the review that a vast amount of work has been done in the synthesis of N1/N4 substituted piperazine containing targets under the Pd catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amination of aryl halides by using different catalyst-ligand systems. These methods have become increasingly versatile as a result of innovation in catalyst design and improvements in reaction conditions. This review gives an overview of recent utilization of Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction in drug/target synthesis.

Daunting Task

Searching for reaction in organic synthesis has been made much easier in the current age of computer databases. However, the dilemma now is which procedure one selects among the ocean of choices. Especially for novices in the laboratory, it becomes a daunting task to decide what reaction conditions to experiment with first in order to have the best chance of success. This collection intends to serve as an "older and wiser lab-mate" one could have by compiling many of the most commonly used experimental procedures in organic synthesis. With chapters that cover such topics as functional group manipulations, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation, Modern Organic Synthesis in the Laboratory will be useful for both graduate students and professors in organic chemistry and medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

Resonance Stabilization

Two key factors bear on reaction rates for the conjugate addition of alkenyl boronic acids to heteroaryl-appended enones: the proximity of inductively electron-withdrawing heteroatoms to the site of bond formation and the resonance contribution of available heteroatom lone pairs to stabilize the developing positive charge at the enone β-position. For the former, the closer the heteroatom is to the enone β-carbon, the faster the reaction. For the latter, greater resonance stabilization of the benzylic cationic charge accelerates the reaction. Thus, reaction rates are increased by the closer proximity of inductive electron-withdrawing elements, but if resonance effects are involved, then increased rates are observed with electron-donating ability. Evidence for these trends in isomeric substrates is presented, and the application of these insights has allowed for reaction conditions that provide improved reactivity with previously problematic substrates.

AbstractStarting from methyl cycloheptatrienyl-1-carboxylate, 6-acylation was successfully achieved employing glutaryl chloride in the presence of AlCl3 under controlled reaction conditions to furnish keto carboxylic acid product. After protection of this keto carboxylic acid as tert-butyl ester, reagent-controlled enantioselective reductions delivered configuration-defined methyl-6-hydroxylalkyl cycloheptatriene-1-carboxylates with up to 80% ee. Whereas simple NaBH4 reduction of the keto carboxylic acid and subsequent lactonization afforded a methyl-6-tetrahydropyranonyl cycloheptatriene-1-carboxylate. Resolution using chiral HPLC delivered the product enantiomers with up to >99% ee Finally, ECD analyses enabled structure elucidation. The products are used as key intermediates in enantioselective 6,11-methylene-lipoxin B4 syntheses.
