Total Synthesis of (−)-7-Epicylindrospermopsin, a Toxic Metabolite of the Freshwater Cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon ovalisporum, and Assignment of Its Absolute Configuration
journal contribution
posted on 2005-03-18, 00:00 authored by James D. White, Joshua D. HansenThe Z and E nitrones 38 and 39 from condensation of aldehyde 20 with hydroxylamine 36 underwent
intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition to give the substituted 1-aza-7-oxobicyclo[2.2.1] heptanes 40
and 41 in a ratio of 2:1, respectively. Reductive N−O bond cleavage of 40 followed by carbonylation
gave cyclic urea 47 in which inversion of the secondary alcohol was effected via an oxidation−reduction sequence. After conversion of the p-bromobenzyl ether 50 to azide 54, activation of the
cyclic urea as its O-methylisourea and reduction of the azide led to spontaneous cyclization to afford
the tricyclic nucleus 59 of cylindrospermopsin. Global deprotection, including hydrolysis of the 2,4-dimethyoxypyrimidine appendage to a uracil, and then monosulfation of the resultant diol 60
afforded a substance identical with natural (−)-7-epicylindrospermopsin (1). The asymmetric
synthesis of (−)-7-epicylindrospermopsin defines its absolute configuration as 7S,8R,10S,12S,13R,14S.
