Download or read book Synthesis of Novel Aromatic C Ring Taxol Analogs Toward a Synthesis of a Brevetoxin B Analog New Methods for the Construction of Cyclic Ethers written by Christopher Fairman Claiborne and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model studies were carried out on key steps directed toward a synthesis of taxol. A model aromatic taxol C ring was coupled to taxol A ring via the Shapiro reaction. Selective functionalization of the A ring was carried out by epoxidation of the allylic alcohol derived from Shapiro coupling. Compatible protecting groups were found to rigidity the model AC framework in preparation for cyclization of the B ring. The McMurry reaction was established as an effective method for the formation of the eight membered B ring. Selective functionalization of the C-13 position of the A ring by PCC oxidation was accomplished. Controlled reduction of the C-13 ketone was carried out and subsequent coupling to the taxol side chain was achieve by the Oijima-Holton method. A biologically active analog of taxol was synthesized. Toward a synthesis of a brevetoxin B analog, a model ABC ring fragment was synthesized by established 6 -endo hydroxy-epoxide cyclizations. A model EF ring system was also synthesized by similar methods. Variations on the ABC fragment were independently coupled to the FG fragment and in a novel titanium mediated metathesis, the D ring was formed. Functionalization of the resulting D ring enol ether set the stage for the formation of the E ring via a hydroxy-ketone condensation. A hexacyclic (B - G) and heptacyclic (A - G) fused polyether ring systems were synthesized during our efforts to prepare a brevetoxin B analog.

Book excerpt: Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and tetrahydropyran (THP) rings are commonly found in a wide range of natural products and biologically active compounds. In total synthesis, the formation of THF/THP motifs is often the key step but existing methods often involve numerous steps and low overall efficiencies. Part one of this thesis details the development of a practical method for the synthesis of THF rings by the controlled mono-addition/cyclisation of organolithium species to C2-symmetric diepoxides (Scheme A-1). This method can also be applied to the synthesis of bis-THF rings from triepoxides and has potential applications in more complex cascade reactions. A similar cyclisation process providing THF rings from epoxyaldehydes is also described. Part two of this thesis details our efforts towards the synthesis of the marine macrolide neopeltolide. Wright and co-workers reported the isolation of neopeltolide 211 from a deep-water sponge of the family neopeltidae off the north coast of Jamaica. The structure, which was assigned by NMR and HRMS studies and reassigned by total synthesis, contains a 14-membered macrolactone, a 2,6-cis THP ring and an unsaturated oxazole side-chain. Chapter four describes the synthesis of the C2-C8 and C9-C16 fragments (Scheme A-2). Chapter five details our initial attempts in the coupling of subunits 268 and 320, as well as a revised synthetic strategy that allowed us to successfully couple C2-C9 alkyne 347 with C10-C16 aldehyde 348 and the preparation of an advanced intermediate 364 (Scheme A-3).
