Alternative catalytic asymmetric syntheses of the natural products prepared by Cu-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation and asymmetric conjugate addition will also be presented. 1 Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction Catalytic asymmetric C-C bond forming reactions using organometallic reagents are among the most important organic transformations.1 The asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA, Scheme 1, a) and asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA, Scheme 1, b) are particular versatile in enantioselective C-C bond forming reactions.2 Especially applying ACA, the intermediate enolate formed could be further functionalized (Scheme 1, c) by reaction with other electrophiles (one-pot transformations) introducing to two vicinal stereocenters. These transformations are frequently applied in the synthesis of complex biologically active molecules.1 The major part of this chapter is concerned with the application in the total synthesis of natural products using copper-complex catalyzed AAA and ACA as the key step. Scheme 1. General scheme of AAA, ACA and enolate functionalization. 1.2 Copper-catalyzed ACA Copper-catalyzed ACA of organometallics (Grignard reagents, organozinc reagents, organoaluminum compounds and organosilicon reagents) to Michael acceptors (cyclic enones, acyclic enones, nitro-olefins, unsaturated lactones, unsaturated lactams, dehydropiperidinones, α,β-unsaturated esters, thioesters, amides and imides) has been a highly active research field in recent decades.3 Since the first discovery of ferrocenyl ligands such as TaniaPhos and JosiPhos as efficient ligands in the copper-catalyzed ACA of Grignard reagents, several other chiral ligands were discovered for the copper-catalyzed ACA including phosphines, phosphoramidites, phosphonites, peptides, NHC ligands, phosphine-phosphites and aminophosphine ligands. 2 Chapter 1 1.2.1 ACA with organozincs The copper-catalyzed ACA of organozinc reagents has been a longstanding objective in the field of ACA. A major breakthrough was achieved by the group of Feringa in 1996 based on the development of a BINOL-derived monodentate phosphoramide L1.4 Employing this ligand in the copper-catalyzed ACA of cyclic enones using dialkylzinc reagents for C-C bond formation was achieved in high yield, chemoselectivity, efficiency and enantioselectivity. An important feature is that phosphoramide ligands are readily accessible and due to their modular structure can be readily tuned for a specific 5 application. This methodology was applied in the synthesis of PGE1 methyl ester 6 (Scheme 2) using copper-catalyzed ACA of dialkylzinc 3 to cyclopentenone 1 followed by trapping with aldehyde 2 as the key step.6 The diastereoselectivity of the aldehyde trapping was only moderate (threo/erythro=83/17), however, reduction using Zn(BH4)2 followed by separation of the diastereomers gave advanced intermediate 5 as a single diastereomer with 94% ee. After another 5 steps PGE1 methyl ester 6 was obtained in high yield. In this way PGE1 methyl ester 6 was obtained in 7% overall yield with 94% optical purity in 7 steps from 1. Scheme 2. Total synthesis of PGE1methyl ester 6. Recently the group of Aggarwal reported a stereocontrolled organocatalytic synthesis of 7 PGF2α 13 in only 7 steps (Scheme 3). Intermolecular aldol reaction catalyzed by 2 mol% of proline 8 gave product 9 which underwent hemiacetal formation to 10 and an intramolecular aldol condensation to form α,β-unsaturated aldehyde 11. After acetal formation product 12 was obtained in 14% overall yield with 98% ee. PGF2α 13 was prepared in 5 steps from aldehyde 12. In this way PGE2α 13 was obtained in 4% overall yield with 98% optical purity in 7 steps from 7. 3 Chapter 1 OH OH OH COOH 8 O O N 2mol% O Intramolecular O H aldol condensation O then O O [Bn2NH2][OCOCF3] O O O 7 9 10 11 HO O O MeOH HO 13 O HO COOH 12, 14% based on 7 98% ee Scheme 3.

In 2001 Hoveyda et al. reported a tandem reaction using the copper-catalyzed ACA of organozinc to cyclic enones with peptide-based phosphine ligand L2 which is easily accessible from commercially available components (Scheme 4).8 This methodology was applied to the synthesis of the natural product, Clavularin B (17). The Zn-enolate formed by copper-catalyzed ACA using dimethyl zinc was trapped with 4-iodo-1-butene resulted in cyclic ketone 15 in high yield, ee and chemoselectivity. Silyl enol ether formation followed by palladium-mediated oxidation (Saegusa–Ito oxidation) of 15 gave α,β-unsaturated ketone 16.

[email protected] Received February 5, 2010 A highly stereoselective joint total synthesis of the potent polyketide macrolide antibiotics etnangien and etnangien methyl ester was accomplished by a convergent strategy and proceeds in 23 steps (longest linear sequence). Notable synthetic features include a sequence of highly stereoselective substrate-controlled aldol reactions to set the characteristic assembly of methyl- and hydroxyl- bearing stereogenic centers of the propionate portions, an efficient diastereoselective Heck macro- cyclization of a deliberately conformationally biased precursor, and a late-stage introduction of the labile side chain by means of a high-yielding Stille coupling of protective-group-free precursors. Along the way, an improved, reliable protocol for a Z-selective Stork-Zhao-Wittig olefination of aldehydes was developed, and an effective protocol for a 1,3-syn reduction of sterically particularly hindered β-hydroxy ketones was devised. Within the synthetic campaign, a more detailed under- standing of the intrinsic isomerization pathways of these labile natural products was elaborated. The expedient and flexible strategy of the etnangiens should be amenable to designed analogues of these RNA-polymerase inhibitors, thus enabling further exploration of the promising biological potential of these macrolide antibiotics.

A number of different approaches have been reported for the synthesis of dienamides. These methods have varying degrees of success in terms of yield and selectivity. In particular, the control of double bond geometry presents a significant challenge. Presented, is an efficient one step synthesis of dienamide units starting from previously established N-formyl imide building blocks. This approach presents an attractive alternative to other methods available currently in terms of the number of steps, yield and overall simplicity.

Amphidinolides C-C3, F and T1-5 represent attractive synthetic targets due to a combination of potent bioactivity and complex molecular architecture. This thesis describes the total syntheses of amphidinolides T1, T3 and T4, and the preparation of the C1-C17 fragment of amphidinolides C and F. Concise and high-yielding total syntheses of amphidinolides T1, T3, and T4 have been completed using an alkynyl macrolactone as a common late-stage intermediate.

I would like to thank my high school teacher L. Marinskiene for introducing me to the field, and letting me explore chemistry during long afternoons at school in the chemistry prep room. I would also like to thank my professors at my undergraduate institution: notably, Dr. R. Raudonis and Dr. E. Butkus, who were very supportive during my early explorations of chemistry. Also, professor Dr. D. Tauraite from Vilnius University Institute of Biochemistry, who taught me the basics of organic lab work. The input of these people led to the fact that I started grad school here at FSU.
