Development of Novel Methodologies SYNTHESIS OF PYRAN AND RELATED NATURAL PRODUCTS Bun Yeung, BSc Thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy The University of York Department of Chemistry September 2012 Synthesis of pyran and related natural products Bun Yeung Abstract This study was aimed at preparing dihydropyrans (DHPs) for the synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans (THPs) in a diastereoselective manner. In an attempt to develop a novel methodology for the synthesis of DHPs from δ- hydroxy-β-ketoester and thioamide in the presence of Lewis acid, unexpected dihydrothiopyran (DHT) formed as the sole product in the reaction instead of the expected DHP. A thorough investigation of the DHT forming-reaction showed that it is a promising method to synthesize 2,6-disubstituted DHT compounds. Various substituents at C2 and C6 positions were incorporated into the DHT by using different δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters and thioamides. This methodology was applied to the first total synthesis of citreothiopyrane A in 4% yield over three steps. The synthesis of a number of citreothiopyrane A analogs with different substituents at C6 position was also achieved. N-heterocyclic carbene and quinuclidine were tested to promote the formation of δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters form diketene, but the only product identified was the methyl acetoacetonate and stable quinuclidine-enolate respectively. In the investigation of (-)-apicularen A synthesis, it was proposed that the THP core could be accessed by the asymmetric Maitland-Japp reaction, using Chan’s diene and two synthesized aldehydes. However, it was found that the aldehyde with ketal protecting group is too unstable under Lewis acid condition. Further improvements are needed, such as using a more acid-stable protecting group, or by replacement of the aldehyde functionality. i Synthesis of pyran and related natural products Bun Yeung Table of content Abstract ................................................................................................................... i Table of content ..................................................................................................... ii List of Schemes ..................................................................................................... iv List of Figures ....................................................................................................... ix List of Tables ......................................................................................................... x Acknowledgement ................................................................................................ xi Declaration ........................................................................................................... xii 1.

  • The Total Synthesis of Aigialomycin D and Analogues
    THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF AIGIALOMYCIN D AND ANALOGUES by Lynton James Baird VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON Te Whare Wananga o te Upoko o te Ika a Maui A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Victoria University of Wellington 2009 Abstract In 2002 a new family of 14-membered resorcylic macrolides, the aigialomycins, were isolated from the mangrove fungus Aigialus parvus BCC 5311. Subsequent biological testing of these new natural products found aigialomycin D (Am D) to be the most biologically active member of the family, exhibiting moderate activity against malaria (Plasmodium falciparum K1, IC50 19.7 μM) and modest cytotoxicity towards certain cancer cells (KB cells: IC50 9.0 μM and BC-1 cells: 53.8 μM). More recently, Am D has been shown to inhibit the kinases CDK1/5 and GSK at low μM concentrations. At the onset of this research project, with only one total synthesis of Am D reported in the literature, there remained a need for an efficient synthesis of Am D that would be amenable to the synthesis of a range of analogues. This thesis reports two synthetic approaches to Am D that differ primarily in the chemistry utilised to install the (E)- olefins at C1′–C2′ and C7′–C8′: a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) strategy and a Ramberg-Bäcklund (RB) strategy. The Ramberg-Bäcklund strategy ultimately proved to be successful, providing Am D in 16 steps with 9% overall yield. A retrosynthetic analysis of Am D disconnects the molecule into three major fragments: an aromatic fragment, a C2′–C7′ carbohydrate-derived fragment and a C8′–C11′ alcohol fragment.

  • Investigations of Ring–Opening Reactions of Cyclopropanated Carbohydrates: Towards the Synthesis of the Natural Product (−)-Tan-2483B
    INVESTIGATIONS OF RING–OPENING REACTIONS OF CYCLOPROPANATED CARBOHYDRATES: TOWARDS THE SYNTHESIS OF THE NATURAL PRODUCT (−)-TAN-2483B by Russell James Hewitt A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Victoria University of Wellington 2010 Abstract Cyclopropanes and carbohydrates are materials of great interest to chemists. Ring opening reactions of cyclopropanated carbohydrates have excellent potential for syn- thesis, due to the many diverse structures that may be obtained. The work described in this thesis explores the scope of such ring opening reactions, and extends to the synthesis and reactions of several novel cyclopropanated carbohydrates, in which synthesis of a natural product was also investigated. Several bicyclic gem-dihalocyclopropanes, including 97, were synthesised. Base– mediated cyclopropane ring opening of 97 in the presence of nucleophiles afforded a series of 2-C -branched glycosides 389 and 390 (Chapter 2), whereas silver–promoted ring expansion provided access to seven–membered rings (255 and 256) (Chapter 3). Studies on the mechanisms of the ring opening processes were also carried out.
