The reaction was found to be general for a number of substrates and provides a unique way to access tricyclic ring systems with high stereoselectivity. Some evidence was uncovered to show that the process is indeed an 8π conrotatory electrocyclic ring closure. During the exploration of substituent effects in the electrocyclization, a novel coupling reaction of an organolithium with primary halides was discovered. The experimental data suggested the engagement of the silicon atom and the important role of terminal alkene in the coupling reaction. However, the application of thiw methodology to other silane systems was successful. The total synthesis of 1-epi-seco-pseudopteroxazole was accomplished in 17 steps, featuring the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, a stereoselective intramolecular Michael reaction, a Heck coupling and asymmetric reduction of trisubstituted alkene. In the course of reductive cleavage of the C-I bond to access key intermediate 358, a novel dephenylation of Harmata benzothiazines was discovered to provide chiral cyclic iv sulfinamides with complete stereocontrol. Preliminary mechanistic studies were carried out and a plausible mechanism was proposed based on our experimental results. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .......................................................................................…........ii ABSTRACT.............................................................................................…......……........... iv LIST OF TABLES ........................…..................................................................…............ viii LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................…..............ix LIST OF SCHEMES ............................................................................................…...........xii Chapter I Deantiaromatization as a Driving Force in an electrocyclic Reaction 1 Background on Electrocyclization ……………………........…….............…...................1 1.1 All-carbon Systems …………………………………….….…............…….............2 1.1.1 2π Systems ………......................................…..........……...........…................2 1.1.2 4π Systems ……….......................................…...............…….......…..............2 1.1.3 6π Systems ………........................…………....…................……...…............8 1.1.4 8π Systems ………........................…………......…..............…....…….........11 1.2 Heteroatom-containing Systems ………………………………….….……....…...13 1.2.1 Oxa-6π Systems ………..................................……..……..….............….….13 1.2.1.1 Access 2H-pyran Ring System ………………...……..…...……….. 13 1.2.1.2 Access 2H-chromene Ring System …………………….…...…….…15 1.2.2 Aza-6π Systems ………...............................…………....…....…....……......16 2 Background on the Cyclopentadienones Chemistry ………………………....………..18 2.1 Preparation ……………………………………………...….............….….....….....19 2.2 Reactions of Cyclopentadienones …………………………………....…...…….... 21 3 Results and Discussion ………………………………………………………...….…. 24 vi 3.1 Discovery of Electrocyclization Reaction ……….……….......…....….…............ 24 3.2 Exploration of Electrocyclization of a Number of Substrates …………….…….. 29 4 Summary …………………………………………………………………...…..……. 40 Chapter II An Unusual Observation During a Lithium-bromine Exchange Reaction 1 Introduction ……………………….…………………........……......….........…........... 41 1.1 Characterization of Pentaorganosilicates …….…………..……….……..……….. 41 1.2 Reactions Involving Pentaorganosilicates …………………………….…..….…. 44 1.2.1 Nucleophilic Substitution …………………..……….……….…...…......…. 44 1.2.2 Rearrangement Invovlving Pentaorganosilicate Intermediates ……..………47 2 Results and Discussion …………………………………………………...………….. 52 2.1 Discovery of a Novel Coupling Reaction with Primary Halides ……...…………. 52 2.2 Preliminary Mechanistic Studies …………………………………….…..………. 55 2.3 Phenyldimethylsilane Derivate ……………………………………….…..……… 62 2.4 Attempts of Coupling Reaction on Other Silane Substrates ………….……….…. 65 3 Summary ……………………………………………………………..…….………… 67 Chapter III Total Synthesis of 1-epi-seco-pseudopteroxazole 1 Introduction ……………………………..………………………………….…..…….. 69 1.1 Serrulatane Diterpenoids from Pseudopterogorgia Elisabethae …….….……….. 69 1.2 Serrulatane Diterpenoids from Other Sources ………………………..…....…….. 71 1.3 Biosynthesis of Serrulatane Diterpenoids …………………………..…….……… 73 1.4 Synthetic Efforts ……………………………………………………...……...…... 74 vii 1.4.1 seco-pseudopterosin Aglycone ………………………….….……….…… 75 1.4.2 Erogorgiaene …………………………………………………...……….... 78 1.4.3 Synthetic Efforts from Our Group …………..………………………...…. 82 1.4.3.1 Formal Synthesis of Erogorgiaene ………………………….……. 82 1.4.3.2 Total Synthesis of Pseudopteroxazole ……………………....…… 84 2 The Studies Towards the Total Synthesis of seco-Pseudopteroxazole ………………………………...………………………………………………………..86 2.1 Synthetic Plan ………………...……………………………………………….…. 86 2.2 Results and Discussion …………………………………………….….………… 87 2.2.1 1st Approach to Introduce the Stereochemistry at C-4 and C-11 position ………………………………………………………………………….… 87 2.2.2 2nd Approach to Introduce the Stereochemistry at C-4 and C-11 position …………………………………………………………………………… 103 2.2.3 Finish the Total Synthesis of 1-epi-seco-Pseudopteroxazole ……...…… 107 3 Summary ……………………………………...………………………...………. 108 Chapter IV A Novel Approach to Chiral Cyclic

P. 11800, Monte- video, Uruguay Abstract: Natural products play an important role as a source not only of potential therapeutic drugs but also of starting materials for semisynthetic new medicines. The epoxyquinoid family, composed by cyclohexane epoxides and related structures, exhibit these charac- teristics without doubt. Since 2004, significant efforts have been devoted to the stereocontrolled synthesis of these molecules with different and interesting strategies. More than 50 works on this field have been published during this period of time. In addition, many of these polyoxygenated cyclohexenoids exhibit diverse and impressive bioactive shapes. This review aims to analyze the recent advances in the enantioselective processes that have been performed for the total syntheses of these target molecules. It includes a wide range of methodologies for the in- troduction of chirality either enzymatic or chemical ones. This summarizes microbial preparation of starting materials, lipase kinetic reso- lutions, use of compounds from the chiral pool, use of chiral auxiliaries and asymmetric catalysis. In a special section, syntheses of scy- phostatin are also included. Keywords: Chemocatalyst, enantioselective, enzymatic methods, epoxyquinoids, scyphostatin, synthesis.
