Simon Fraser University Library Burnaby, BC, Canada ABSTRACT The work described in this thesis concerns studies toward the total synthesis of artocarpol A, D and E as well as the synthesis of structurally related analogues. The artocarpol family of natural products was isolated from the root bark of a breadfruit tree, Artocarpus rigida (Moraceae). Notably, artocarpol A has a particularly interesting molecular structure as well as potent anti-inflammatory activity and so it represents an important target for total synthesis. Artocarpol A, C, D, E, F, G and I share a common structural feature, a functionalized dibenz[b,floxepin ring system. Moreover, in the case of artocarpol A the dibenz[b,floxepin moiety is fused to a tricyclic system (a condensed 4,5,6- polycyclic system that features four contiguous stereogenic centres at the ring- junctions). Based on retrosynthetic analysis of this target compound, a novel synthetic route was devised and model studies were undertaken. The known 11 H-di benzo[b, floxepin-1 0-one was efficiently synthesized in five steps in order to test the validity of the two key steps in the proposed route. The first key step involved a cross-aldol condensation reaction between the unsubstituted oxepinone and citral that was coupled to a subsequent electrocyclization reaction. The second key step, involved an intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction that resulted in the construction of the complete polycyclic ring system of artocarpol A and installed the four stereogenic centres in the correct relative sense. The structure of this complex polycyclic artocarpol iii A analogue was elucidated by detailed NMR studies and by X-ray crystallography. A series of related 2H-chromenes and pyrans were also prepared by modification of a known synthetic procedure and were employed as additional substrates for this photocycloaddition reaction. An analogue of artocarpol D was also prepared from senecialdehyde. An alternative strategy was also developed for the synthesis of analogues of artocarpol A, D and E that employed alkylation reactions of the parent oxepinone with geranyl and prenyl bromide as key steps. The synthesis of a dimethoxy-substituted dibenzo[b,floxepinone was also completed. However, this appropriately functionalized substrate proved to be unsuitable for the proposed total syntheses. Thus, the corresponding dinitro-substituted oxepinone was identified as an alternative substrate for synthesis and preliminary investigations were undertaken.

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.
