Sarcophytonolides are cembranolide diterpenes isolated from the soft corals of genus Sarcophyton. Unified total synthesis of sarcophytonolides C, E, F, G, H, and J and isosarcophytonolide D was achieved. The synthetic routes feature NaHMDS- or SmI2-mediated fragment coupling, alkoxycarbonylallylation, macrolactonization, and transannular ring closing metathesis. These total syntheses led to the absolute configurational confirmation of sarcophytonolide H, elucidation of sarcophytonolides C, E, F, and G, and revision of sarcophytonolide J and isosarcophytonolide D. We also evaluated the antifouling activity and toxicity of the synthetic sarcophytonolides H and J and their analogues as well as the cytotoxicity of the synthetic sarcophytonolides and the key synthetic intermediates.

Hybrid molecules consisting of geraniol and butenolide were designed and synthesized by the late-stage divergent strategy. In the synthetic route, ring-closing metathesis was utilized for the construction of a butenolide moiety. A biological evaluation of the eight synthetic hybrid compounds revealed that these molecules exhibit antifouling activity against the cypris larvae of the barnacle Balanus (Amphibalanus) amphitrite with EC50 values of 0.30-1.31 mu g mL(-1). These results show that hybridization of the geraniol and butenolide structural motifs resulted in the enhancement of the antifouling activity.

The xylem conducts water and minerals from the root to the shoot and provides mechanical strength to the plant body. The vascular precursor cells of the procambium differentiate to form continuous vascular strands, from which xylem and phloem cells are generated in the proper spatiotemporal pattern. Procambium formation and xylem differentiation are directed by auxin. In angiosperms, thermospermine, a structural isomer of spermine, suppresses xylem differentiation by limiting auxin signalling. However, the process of auxin-inducible xylem differentiation has not been fully elucidated and remains difficult to manipulate. Here, we found that an antagonist of spermidine can act as an inhibitor of thermospermine biosynthesis and results in excessive xylem differentiation, which is a phenocopy of a thermospermine-deficient mutant acaulis5 in Arabidopsis thaliana. We named this compound xylemin owing to its xylem-inducing effect. Application of a combination of xylemin and thermospermine to wild-type seedlings negates the effect of xylemin, whereas co-treatment with xylemin and a synthetic proauxin, which undergoes hydrolysis to release active auxin, has a synergistic inductive effect on xylem differentiation. Thus, xylemin may serve as a useful transformative chemical tool not only for the study of thermospermine function in various plant species but also for the control of xylem induction and woody biomass production.

We have synthesized eight possible diastereoisomers 3a-h of the C79-C97 fragment of symbiodinolide (1) in a stereodivergent manner by utilizing a dithiane addition to the aldehyde as a key step. Comparison of the (CNMR)-C-13 chemical shifts of the natural product 1 and the synthetic products 3a-h indicated that the relative stereostructure of this fragment in symbiodinolide (1) is that represented in 3a or f. We have stereodivergently synthesized eight possible diastereoisomers of the C94-C104 fragment 4a-h, and we have compared their (CNMR)-C-13 chemical shifts with those of the natural product, which established the relative stereochemistry of this fragment to be that described in diastereoisomers 4a or e. By combining the stereostructural outcomes of the C79-C97 and C94-C104 fragments, we have proposed four candidate compounds of the C79-C104 fragment 2a-d. We also synthesized diastereoisomers 2a and b (2a in the preceding article; Chem. Eur. J. 2015, DOI: 10.1002/chem.201503880) by a Julia-Kocienski olefination and diastereoisomers 2c and d by a Wittig reaction. By comparing the (CNMR)-C-13 chemical shifts of natural symbiodinolide (1) with those of the synthetic products 2a-d, we have reassigned the stereostructure of the C79-C104 fragment of natural product 1 to be that depicted in diastereoisomer 2b.

Symbiodinolide is a polyol marine natural product isolated from dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp. This natural product exhibits voltage-dependent N-type Ca2+ channel-opening activity at 7 nM and COX-1 inhibition activity at 2 μM. The planar structure of symbiodinolide was elucidated by the detailed 2D NMR analysis. However, the huge and complex molecular structure of this molecule featuring a molecular weight of 2,860 and the presence of 61 chiral centers has hampered the complete stereochemical determination. Herein, we report our synthetic study of symbiodinolide toward the structural elucidation.

A highly stereoselective and stereodivergent synthesis of two possible diastereomers of (-)-gummiferol was achieved, wherein the stepwise epoxidation and Cadiot-Chodkiewicz reaction were utilized for the construction of the diepoxide moiety and triacetylene part, respectively. Detailed comparison of their 1H and 13C NMR data and specific rotation with those of the natural product unambiguously elucidated the absolute stereostructure of gummiferol. In addition, the cytotoxic activity of the synthesized gummiferol, its stereoisomers, and its truncated analogues was evaluated, which clearly indicates that (1) the absolute configuration of the diepoxide moiety has little influence on the cytotoxic activity against human cancer cells and (2) the triacetylene unit is the crucial structural element required for exerting the cytotoxic activity. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

Brevetoxin B was isolated from the red tide organism Karenia brevis in 1981 as the first example of marine polycyclic ethers. This compound shows potent neurotoxicity, by binding to sodium channels, causing massive fish kills and human health problems. Since further biological studies are hampered by the limited availability from nature, chemical synthesis has been the sole realistic way to obtain sufficient amounts of brevetoxin B. Moreover, the huge molecular architecture is a particularly attractive target for synthetic chemists. In this account, we describe the highly convergent total synthesis of brevetoxin B based on our methodology, including intramolecular allylation and subsequent ring-closing metathesis.

The intramolecular allylation of the O,S-acetal 22, prepared from the ABC ring segment 15 and the FG ring segment 17, was carried out using AgOTf as a Lewis acid to give the desired compound 23, predominantly. Ring-closing metathesis of 23 with the Grubbs catalyst 12 afforded the heptacyclic ether 25. Selective hydrogenation of the E ring olefin of 25 was performed by diimide reduction to afford 2.

More than 20, 000 people suffer annually from ciguatera seafood poisoning in tropical and subtropical areas. The principal causative agents, ciguatoxin and its congeners CTX3C and 51-hydroxyCTX3C are extremely potent neurotoxins that bind to voltage-sensitive sodium channels. The extremely limited availability of these ciguatoxins has hampered the detailed biological studies and preparation of anti-ciguatoxin antibodies for detecting these toxins. Therefore the supply of these compounds by the chemical synthesis has been strongly demanded. Furthermore the unique structural features have attracted the attention of the synthetic chemists. This review has briefly focused on the synthetic studies of ciguatoxins in a convergent manner including a total synthesis.

The convergent total synthesis of brevetoxin B (1) has been achieved. The intramolecular allylation of the 0,S-acetal 20, prepared from the alpha-chlorosulfide 17 and the alcohol 5, was carried out using AgOTf as a Lewis acid to give the diene 21, predominantly. Ring-closing metathesis of 21 with the Grubbs catalyst 23 afforded the hexacyclic ether 25 which was converted to the A-G ring segment 2 through several steps. The intramolecular allylation of the alpha-acetoxy ether 42, prepared from 2 and the J-K ring segment 3, followed by ring-closing metathesis provided the polycyclic ether framework 44. A series of reactions of 44, including oxidation of the A ring, deprotection of the silyl ethers, and selective oxidation of the resulting allylic alcohol, furnished 1.

The convergent total syntheses of gambierol (1) and 16-epi-gambierol (2) have been achieved. The ABC and FGH ring segments 4 and 5 were prepared from known compounds 6 and 13, respectively, by linear manners. The fragments prepared were connected by our own synthetic strategy including the intramolecular allylation of alpha-acetoxy ether followed by ring-closing metathesis to furnish the octacyclic ether 3. The diiodoalkene 45, prepared from 3, was converted to the Z-iodoalkene 50 via a novel and stereoselective hydrogenolysis followed by deprotection. Construction of the triene side chain was performed by the modified Stille coupling of 50 with the Z-vinylic stannane 41 to afford 1. The similar transformations were carried out on the epimeric octacycle 34 to give 2, which showed no toxicity against mice at the concentration of 14 mg/kg.

The reaction of the ketene acetal triflates 9a-e and a zinc homoenolate 10 in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)(4) gave the enol ethers 11a-e in good yields. The products were converted to the corresponding cyclic ethers 14a and 14b by hydroboration and lactonization. The present methodology allowed us to synthesize the DE and GH ring segment of gambierol in a concise manner. Iterative syntheses of the polycyclic ethers 26 and 32 are also described.

Stereocontrolled syntheses of the AB and EFGH ring systems of gambierol (1) are described. The two key intermediates 3 and 55, representing the AB and EFGH ring frameworks, were prepared from 2-deoxy-D-ribose via linear sequences. Brown's asymmetric allylboration and the intramolecular hetero-Michael reaction were successfully applied to the construction of the A ring moiety. Synthesis of the EFGH ring segment 55 was achieved by the SmI2 mediated reductive cyclization, constructing the EF ring bearing two 1,3-diaxial methyl groups, and the palladium catalyzed coupling of enol triflate and zinc bishomoenolate, making the GH ring moiety. Attempted convergent approaches toward the EFGH ring framework- are also described. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Brevetoxin B (1), a potent neurotoxin, was isolated from the red tide organism Gymnodinium breve Davis in 1981. The unique structural features and biological activity of this molecule have attracted the attention of synthetic chemists. We have already reported the efficient method for the convergent synthesis of polycyclic ethers via the intramolecular allylation and subsequent ring-closing metathesis. Herein we report the convergent total synthesis of 1 based on our own methodology. The reaction of the bicyclic compound 9, prepared from the known compound 6, with the allylic silane 10 in the presence of TMSOTf gave the desired product 11, stereoselectively. The JK ring segment 3 was synthesized in 11 steps including one-carbon elongation from 11. Palladium-catalyzed coupling of the ketene acetal triflate 15 and the organozinc reagent 16 gave the enol ether 17, which was converted to the diene 22. The construction of the A ring via ring-closing metathesis afforded the ABC ring segment 4. The chlorosulfide 4 was treated with the alcohol 5 in the presence of AgOTf and DTBMP to give the O,S-acetal 24. Intramolecular allylation of 26 using AgOTf as a Lewis acid provided the desired product 27, stereoselectively. Chemoselective reduction of the olefinic moiety in the E ring of 29 was carried out under the condition of the diimide reduction to afford 30. The heptacyclic compound 30 was converted to the alcohol 2 in 6 steps including one-carbon elongation. The alcohol 2 and the carboxylic acid 3 were connected successfully by Yamaguchi conditions to give the ester 33. The construction of the polycyclic framework of 1 was performed via the intramolecular allylation and subsequent ring-closing metathesis to yield 38. After the TBS and TBDPS protecting groups were removed using HF・pyr, chemoselective oxidation of the allylic moiety with MnO_2 furnished brevetoxin B (1). The synthetic brevetoxin B exhibited spectroscopic data identical with those of natural brevetoxin B.

The connection of 7 and the FG ring segment 8 followed by several transformations afforded the allylic stannane 29. The partial reduction of 29 with DIBALH followed by trapping of the resulting aluminum hemiacetal with acetic anhydride provided the acetoxy ether 30. However, the yield was very low. Alternatively, the chlorosulfide 31, prepared from 26, was treated with the alcohol 8 in the presence of AgOTf to provide the O,S-acetal 32. Cyclization of 33 using AgOTf as a Lewis acid gave the desired product 34, stereoselectively. The construction of the E ring and the A ring via ring-closing metathesis afforded the ABCDEFG ring segment 5. The alcohol 5 and the carboxylic acid 6 were connected successfully by Yamaguchi conditions to give the ester 41. The construction of the polycyclic framework of 1 was performed via the intramolecular allylation and subsequent ring-closing metathesis to yield 46. Completion of the total synthesis of 1 is currently under way.

Gambierol (1) is a marine polycyclic ether isolated as a toxic constituent from cultured cells of the ciguatera causative dinoflagellate, Gambierdiscus toxicus. This compound shows toxicity against mice (LD_<50>, 50μg/kg), and the symptoms resemble those caused by ciguatoxins. The unique structural features have attracted the attention of synthetic chemist. We have already succeeded in the convergent synthesis of the CDEFG ring system (8) via the intramolecular allylation of the α-acetoxy ether 4 and subsequent ring-closing metathesis. Encouraged by this result, we started the total synthetic study of gambierol (1). Treatment of the cyclization precursor 15, prepared from the ABC ring segment 10 and FGH ring fragment 11, with MgBr_2・OEt_2 gave the desired product 9 and its C16 epimer 16 in 22% and 47% yield, respectively. The yield of 9 was improved by using monochloroacetoxy group as a leaving moiety. Thus, the reaction of 19 gave 9 and 16 in 30% and 48% yield, respectively. The diene 9 was subjected to ring-closing metathesis with 7 to give 20 in 84% yield. The octacyclic compound 20 was converted to 28 by several steps. We next examined the construction of the triene side chain. Although the Stille coupling of 29 and 30 gave the cross-coupling product 31 in an allowable yield (63%), the reaction was very slow (4 days). After unfruitful attempts, we succeeded in developping an efficient method for the stereoselective synthesis of Z-iodoolefin 33. Treatment of 32 with Zn-Cu and AcOH gave 33 as a single stereoisomer in 80% yield. As expected, the reaction of 33 and 30 was very fast. The triene 31 was obtained in 95% yield after 1.5h. Similaly, the iodoolefin 35, prepared from 28, was converted to the fully protected gambierol 36 in good yield. The final deprotection of 36 giving 1 is currently under way.

A convergent synthesis of polycyclic ethers has been achieved by the intramolecular allylation of α-acetoxy ethers and subsequent ring-closing metathesis. The carboxylic acid 2 and alcohol 3 were connected by DCC coupling to give the ester 4 in 90% yield. After deprotection of the silyloxy group, the alcohol 5 was converted to the allylic stannane 8 via the mixed acetal 7 in good yield. The ester 8 was then subjected to the Rychnovsky protocol to give the α-acetoxy ether 9 as a mixture of diastereoisomers. The cyclization precursors 10-15 were prepared in a similar manner, and the results of the cyclization are summarized in Table 1. Treatment of 9 with 4 equiv of BF_3・OEt_2 gave a 70: 30 mixture of the cyclized products 16 and 17 in 79% yield (entry 1). Similarly, the cyclization of the substrates 10-15 proceeded stereoselectively to give the desired products in good yields (entries 2-7). We next examined the ring-closing metathesis of the products 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, and 27 (Table 2). Treatment of 18 with Grubbs catalyst 29 gave the tetracyclic ether 30 in 91% yield (entry 1). Similarly, the reactions of 20, 22, and 24 proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding polycyclic ethers 31-33 in good yields (entries 2-4). Although the reactions of 25 and 27 with 29 were unsatisfactory, the use of the more active catalyst 34 provided the desired pentacyclic ethers 35 and 36 in high yield (entries 5 and 6). Based on these results, we have started the convergent synthesis of gambierol 1 and have synthesized the ABC and FGH ring segments, 48 and 60, from 2-deoxy-D-robose as shown in Schemes 2 and 3, respectively. Further studies toward the total synthesis of gambierol are now in progress in our laboratories.
