  • Unified total synthesis of madangamine alkaloids

    Sato T., Modern Natural Product Synthesis: Overcoming Difficulties, 2024.05

     View Summary

    Development of a unified total synthesis of madangamine alkaloids is described. The synthesis consists of three parts: (1) construction of the central ABC-ring, (2) installation of the skipped diene bearing a trisubstituted olefin, and (3) the synthesis of various D-rings from a tetracyclic ABCE-common intermediate. The ABC-tricyclic framework is successfully assembled by intramolecular allenylation. The most significant issue in this synthesis is the stereoselective installation of the skipped diene. This challenge is ultimately overcome by development of a stereodi-vergent approach using hydroboration of allenes and Migita-Kosugi-Stille coupling. The hydroboration is especially useful because the reaction of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with either 9-BBN or (Sia)2BH gives (E)-or (Z)-allylic alcohols, respec-tively. The key to the success of our unified total synthesis is macrocyclic alkylation to form a wide variety of D-rings from the tetracyclic ABCE-common interme-diate. Our collective synthesis of madangamine alkaloids revealed structure-activity relationship of D-rings in their cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines.

  • Nucleophilic addition to amides toward efficient total synthesis of complex alkaloids

    Sato T., New Tide of Natural Product Chemistry, 2023.06

     View Summary

    Nucleophilic addition to amides has been recognized as a promising transformation for the total synthesis of polycyclic alkaloids. The reaction produces substituted amines from easily available amides while avoiding the unwanted high reactivities of amines and use of extra-protecting group manipulations. In this chapter, we introduce the development of two types of amide-selective nucleophilic addition reactions and their applications to total synthesis. The first topic is the total synthesis of gephyrotoxin based on the reductive allylation of an N-methoxylactam. The reaction takes place in the presence of a more electrophilic methyl ester by taking advantage of the N-methoxy group and the Schwartz reagent [Cp<Subscript>2</Subscript>ZrHCl]. The second topic is the unified total synthesis of stemoamide-type alkaloids by chemoselective assembly of five-membered rings. The most challenging step is an iridium-catalyzed reductive nucleophilic addition to a γ-lactam. A γ-lactone was installed to a γ-lactam carbonyl without affecting the γ-lactone found in tetracyclic protostemonamide, resulting in the total synthesis of pentacyclic protostemonines.

  • Photoinduced Reductive [4 + 2] Cycloaddition of Nitroarenes

    Kaneko T., Ito R., Okamura T., Sato T.

    Organic Letters 27 ( 9 ) 2042 - 2048 2025.03

    ISSN  15237060

     View Summary

    Direct C-N bond formation from nitroarenes is a valuable synthetic tool for quick access to aniline derivatives. Transformation via nitroso intermediates could be useful due to their unique properties, but the generation of nitrosoarenes in situ from nitroarenes is challenging due to the tendency for various side reactions. Herein we report the photoinduced reductive [4 + 2] cycloaddition of nitroarenes. The method begins with the photoinduced reduction of nitroarenes to give nitrosoarenes by hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA). The generated nitrosoarenes undergo a nitroso Diels-Alder (NDA) reaction. The key to success is the use of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) borane, which promotes efficient HAA, enabling the NDA reaction to proceed without the need for transition metals, strong bases, or elevated temperatures. The developed conditions allow high functional group tolerance, enabling late-stage functionalization and further derivatization of biologically active compounds.

  • Total Synthesis of Lobatamides A and C

    Yasui S., Banjo S., Nagashima Y., Okada Y., Yoshikawa K., Nakata K., Chida N., Okamura T., Sato T.

    Angewandte Chemie - International Edition (Angewandte Chemie - International Edition)  63 ( 17 )  2024.04

    ISSN  14337851

     View Summary

    The total synthesis of lobatamides A (1 a) and C (1 c) via a common bislactone intermediate is reported. The allylic aryl moiety including a trisubstituted Z-olefin was constructed by hydroboration of a 1,1-disubstituted allene and subsequent Migita-Kosugi-Stille coupling. Although the seco acid proved to be highly unstable even in the presence of weak bases, Zhao macrolactonization under acidic conditions via the α-acyloxyenamide successfully provided the common bislactone intermediate. Hydrozirconation-iodination of the terminal alkyne and subsequent copper-mediated coupling with primary amides proceeded successfully in the presence of the sensitive bislactone framework. The developed synthetic route enables the late-stage installation of enamide side chains, which are crucial structures for V-ATPase inhibition.

  • Total Synthesis of Keramaphidin B and Ingenamine by Base-Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reaction Using Dynamic Regioselective Crystallization

    Kurihara Y., Yagi M., Noguchi T., Yasufuku H., Okita A., Yoshimura S., Oishi T., Chida N., Okamura T., Sato T.

    Journal of the American Chemical Society (Journal of the American Chemical Society)   2024

    ISSN  00027863

     View Summary

    The control of the selectivity is a central issue in the total synthesis of complex natural products. In this paper, we report the total synthesis of (±)-keramaphidin B and (±)-ingenamine. The key reaction is a DMAP-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction in which the regioselectivity is completely controlled by dynamic crystallization. Our synthesis successfully demonstrates that dynamic crystallization can be an alternative when the selectivity is not controlled by either kinetic or thermodynamic approaches in solution.

  • Stereodivergent synthesis of 2-oxo-oligopyrrolidines by an iterative coupling strategy

    Soda Y., Tatsumi K., Forner M., Sato S., Shibuya K., Matagawa T., Simizu S., Chida N., Okamura T., Sato T.

    Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry (Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry)  22 ( 16 ) 3230 - 3236 2024

    ISSN  14770520

     View Summary

    Natural linear polyamines play diverse roles in physiological processes by interacting with receptors at the cellular level. Herein, we describe the stereodivergent synthesis of oligopyrrolidines, which are conformationally constrained polyamines. We synthesized dimeric and trimeric 2-oxo-oligopyrrolidines using an iterative coupling strategy. The key to our success is an iridium-catalyzed trans/cis-selective nucleophilic addition and subsequent threo/erythro-stereoselective reduction. The synthesized pyrrolidines show varying cytotoxicities against a human cancer cell line depending on the number of rings and their stereochemistry.

  • Computational Study Focusing on a Comprehensive Conformational Analysis of Transition States for Aza-Spiro Ring Formations with N-Alkoxyamides

    Fukaya K., Sato T., Chida N., Urabe D.

    Journal of Organic Chemistry (Journal of Organic Chemistry)  88 ( 19 ) 13655 - 13665 2023.10

    ISSN  00223263

     View Summary

    An accurate understanding of conformations in transition states is a critical piece in the theoretical analysis of complex molecular reactions. In this study, we investigated conformationally diverse transition states during intramolecular aza-spiro ring formation with an allylsilane moiety and N-alkoxy iminium ion, a key reaction in the synthesis of fasicularin by Sato and Chida et al., and identified the origins of stereoselectivity of the cyclization. A large number of conformational isomers with forming C-C bonds were comprehensively analyzed using Cremer-Pople puckering parameters. It was found that the conformations of the transition states had different puckering preferences depending on the reactant’s double-bond geometry and the product’s stereochemical configuration. Furthermore, an asymmetric aza-spiro cyclization with a tolyl group as a chiral auxiliary was investigated, showing that conformational anchoring by both a CH-O hydrogen bond and the CH−π interaction was critical for the asymmetric induction.
