(1,4/2)-cyclohex-5-ene-triol was synthesized starting from cyclohexa-1,4-diene with two different approaches. Photooxygenation of cyclohexa-1,4-diene and epoxy-cyclohexene afforded anti-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-5-yl hydroperoxide and anti-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-3-yl hydroperoxide, respectively. Hydroperoxy endoperoxide was reduced with aqueous sodium bisulfite; hydroperoxy-epoxide with dimethylsulfide-titanium tetraisopropoxide to give 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-3-ol. Acidic hydrolysis of the epoxy-alcohol gave the (1,4/2)-cyclohex-3-ene-triol. Oxidation of the double bond with KMnO4 resulted in the formation of (+/-)-proto-quercitol.
New constrained heterocyclic analogues, 2a,b and 3, of Raloxifene (1) have been prepared by complementary Directed remote Metalation (DreM)/Friedel-Crafts cyclization approaches. Utilization of a benzylidene-thiolactone rearrangement was successfully implemented to construct benzothiophenes 13a-c in good yields. Selective deprotection of 13a and 13b induced by complexation followed by triflation gave 18 and 23, thereby allowing efficient Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling with borolane 16 to give biaryls 19 and 24. Treatment of 19 with BCl(3) induced an intramolecular para Fridel-Crafts cyclization and concomitant double deprotection to furnish analogue 2a, a new 5,6,6,6-(C(4)S-C(6)-C(6)-C(6)) sulfur-containing heterocycle. Exposure of 25 with excess LDA induced a DreM cyclization delivering the ortho-substituted 5,6,6,6-(C(4)S-C(6)-C(6)-C(6)) heterocylic analogue 26 in 70% yield. Similar treatment of 13c and 27 afforded 30, representing the novel 5,5,6,6-(C(4)S-C(5)-C(6)-C(6)) ring system, which was subjected to Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling with 16 to give the biaryl 31 in 93% yield; deprotection furnished the final constrained analogue 3.
Tetrodotoxin, a toxic principle of puffer fish poisoning, is one of the most famous marine natural products because of the complex structure having many functional groups and its potent biological activity leading to death. Since the structure elucidation in 1964, this toxin has been recognized as a formidable target molecule for total synthesis. We have recently achieved the first asymmetric total synthesis from 2-acetoxy-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal as a chiral starting material. The highly hydroxylated cyclohexane ring was constructed by Claisen rearrangement and regioselective hydroxylations of an acetone moiety and an intramolecular directed aldol condensation of the precursor having methyl ketone with dihydroxyacetone, which was synthesized through Sonogashira coupling. Installation of nitrogen functionality was unsuccessful through an attempted Overman rearrangement. We, therefore, employed a new intramolecular conjugate addition strategy between the carbamate and unsaturated ester groups. The alpha-hydroxyl lactone moiety was synthesized through an intramolecular epoxide opening by the Z-enolate of aldehyde, which was followed by oxidation-reduction of the resulting cyclic vinyl ether. The lactone was then converted to a protected ortho ester, and then gunanidinylation was followed by cleavage of the 1,2-glycol to give the fully protected tetrodotoxin. Selection of the protective groups has finally led us to accomplish the total synthesis of tetrodotoxin in an enantiomerically pure form. All the stereogenic centers were controlled with high selectivity, and the hydroxyl groups were differently protected to discriminate for the future analogue synthesis of a bioorganic program. The synthetic tetrodotoxin was purified by ion exchange chromatography and characterized to be identical with the natural compound.
