A concise route to the common polyketide fragment5of crocacin A-D (1-4) is presented which has previously been converted into all members of this fungicidal and cytotoxic family of dipeptidic natural products by various means. Our synthesis features asyn-selective titanium aldol reaction controlled by a valinol-derived auxiliary, a zinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzedanti-selective addition of propargyl mesylate10to the chiral aldehyde9, as well as a comparison of palladium-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions for the formation of the diene moiety of the target.

Unique Structure

The bengazoles are marine natural products with unique structure, containing two oxazole rings flanking a single carbon. They show very potent antifungal activity. The total syntheses of bengazole C and E are described following a convergent route which involves diastereoselective cycloaddition of an appropriately substituted nitrile oxide with a butane-1,2-diacetal-protected alkenediol as the key step.

Computational Predictions

AbstractAlthough computational simulation-based natural product syntheses are in their initial stages of development, this concept can potentially become an indispensable resource in the field of organic synthesis. Herein we report the asymmetric total syntheses of several resveratrol dimers based on a comprehensive computational simulation of their biosynthetic pathways. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested inconsistencies in the biosynthesis of vaticahainol A and B that predicted the requirement of structural corrections of these natural products. According to the computational predictions, total syntheses were examined and the correct structures of vaticahainol A and B were confirmed. The established synthetic route was applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-malibatol A, (−)-vaticahainol B, (+)-vaticahainol A, (+)-vaticahainol C, and (−)-albiraminol B, which provided new insight into the biosynthetic pathway of resveratrol dimers. This study demonstrated that computation-guided organic synthesis can be a powerful strategy to advance the chemical research of natural products.
