Racemic dimethyl 4-methoxy- (11 and 12), diallyl 4-allyloxy- (13 and 14) and dimethyl 4-(ethylsulfanyl)-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates (15 and 16) were prepared by base-catalyzed addition of methanol, allyl alcohol and ethylsulfane, respectively, to dimethyl (4-oxobut-2-en-1-yl)malonate (6). Deallylation of 13 and 14 afforded 4-hydroxycyclopentanes 27 and 28. Reduction of 11-16 with lithium aluminium hydride gave the corresponding 4-substituted 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanols. Dimethyl (2S,3S,4R)-, (2R,3S,4R)-3-benzyloxy-4-formyloxy-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates (35, 36) and dimethyl (2S,3S,4R)-, (2R,3S,4R)-3-benzyloxy-2-benzoyloxy-4-methoxycyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates (39, 40) were synthesized starting from D-glucose. Reduction of dimethyl cyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates 39 and 40 with lithium aluminium hydride, benzoylation of the formed hydroxy derivatives, hydrogenolysis of benzyl groups, conversion of the liberated hydroxy groups into dithiocarbonates and their reduction with tributylstannane afforded, after removal of the protecting groups, (2R,4R)-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxycyclopentan-2-ol ((2R,4R)-17) and (3R,4R)-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxycyclopentan-3-ol (51). Reduction of a mixture of esters 35 and 36 gave (2R,3R)-2-benzyloxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)hexane-1,3,6-triol (52) as the major product and (2R,3S,4R)-3-benzyloxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane-2,4-diol (53) as the minor product. The latter was converted into (3R,4R)-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane-3,4-diol (58). 3-Deoxycarba analogues 51 and 58 arose by migration of benzoyl group in the preparation of the dithiocarbonates.

A new general synthetic approach to hydroquinone meroterpenoids is here described. The framework of the aforementioned natural compounds was built up through the Li2CuCl4 catalysed cross coupling reaction of the 4-substituted-( E)-prenyl acetates 9 with 2,5-bis(benzyloxy)phenyl magnesium bromide 8 as a key step. The latter sp3-sp2 coupling affords the products in good chemical yields and in very high stereoisomeric purity. A further key step of the present synthetic method consists of the removal of the benzylic protecting groups by a very mild procedure based on the use of lithium naphthalenide. The latter reagent, in combination with aliphatic dialkylamines, is able to cleave all the benzylic protecting groups leaving unaffected the polyenic moieties. By these means, we devised a new synthesis of the natural hydroquinone geranylhydroquinone, farnesylhydroquinone, metachromin V and alliodorol. In addition, the marine meroterpenoid, (+)-( S)-metachromin V, was synthesized for the first time; its chemical structure was confirmed and its absolute configuration was unambiguously assigned.

AbstractA concise and stereoselective synthesis of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) is described. The key features of the synthetic strategy are the use of a phytosphingosine in which the amine is masked as a tetrachlorophthalimide and the diol as an isopropylidene acetal, and the galactosyl donor is protected as a 4,6-benzylidene to improve the α selectivity of the glycosylation reaction. The pattern of protecting groups on the donor and the acceptor have proven to give an excellent match of reactivity, allowing the glycosylation reaction to take place stereoselectively. The overall synthesis gave α-GalCer in good yields and in few steps.
