Synthetic Study of Natural Metabolites Containing a Benzo[<i>c</i>]oxepine Skeleton: Heterocornol C and D

A versatile strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of a benzo[<i>c</i>]oxepine structural core containing natural secondary metabolites was developed. The key steps of the synthetic approach include ring-closing alkene metathesis for seven-member ring construction, the Suzuki–Miyaur...

description A versatile strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of a benzo[<i>c</i>]oxepine structural core containing natural secondary metabolites was developed. The key steps of the synthetic approach include ring-closing alkene metathesis for seven-member ring construction, the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction for the installation of the double bond and Katsuki–Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation for the introduction of chiral centers. The first total synthesis and absolute configuration assignment of heterocornol D (<b>3a</b>) were achieved. Four stereoisomers, <b>3a</b>, <i>ent</i>-<b>3a</b>, <b>3b</b> and <i>ent</i>-<b>3b</b>, of this natural polyketide were prepared, starting with 2,6-dihydroxy benzoic acid and divinyl carbinol. The absolute and relative configuration of heterocornol D was assigned via single-crystal X-ray analysis. The extension of the described synthetic approach is further presented with the synthesis of heterocornol C by applying the ether group reduction method to the lactone.
