  • Modern Natural Product Synthesis

    Takaaki Sato, Springer, 2024.05

    Scope: Chapter 12. Unified total synthesis of madangamine alkaloids,  Contact page: pp. 259‒279 , Accepted

     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.

    Scope: Part 3. Chapter 13. Nucleophilic addition to amides toward efficient total synthesis of complex alkaloids,  Contact page: pp. 275‒293 , Accepted

     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.

  • Total Synthesis of Isodaphlongamine H by Iridium-Catalyzed Reductive [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of N-Hydroxylactam

    Iwamoto S., Nakano R., Sasaki K., Kobayashi S., Taira Y., Takei K., Kawakita R., Tokuyama A., Nakamura H., Tomoike M., Kawahara R., Murase A., Simizu S., Chida N., Okamura T., Sato T.

    Angewandte Chemie International Edition  2025.06

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  14337851

     View Summary

    The total synthesis of isodaphlongamine H based on a lactam strategy, which enables quick access to complex cyclic amines, is described. The strategy begins with alkylation of a chiral lactam and subsequent N-oxidation via an imino ether to afford the N-hydroxylactam. For the key transformation to functionalize the amide carbonyl, an iridium-catalyzed reductive [3 + 2] cycloaddition of the N-hydroxylactam provides a tricyclic isoxazolidine in a one-pot process. After the coupling reaction with an allylic silane fragment, the total synthesis is accomplished through intramolecular Hosomi–Sakurai allylation to construct a pentacyclic core. The deoxygenated pentacyclic intermediate shows higher cytotoxicity against HeLa and U937 cell lines than isodaphlongamine H, and might become a lead compound for further biological study.

  • Synthesis of C11 to C21 polyol fragment of sekothrixide based on an iterative approach including iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of morpholine amides

    Yasui S., Aoki S., Okamura T., Sato T.

    Chemistry Letters 54 ( 5 ) upaf094 2025.05

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  03667022

     View Summary

    An iterative approach to the synthesis of polyol fragments of polyketides is developed based on an iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of morpholine amides. Each round includes an aldol reaction using either morpholine amide or morpholine ketoamide and iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the morpholine amide to give the new aldehyde, which is used for the next round. This strategy is successfully applied to the concise synthesis of the C11 to C21 polyol fragment of sekothrixide.

  • Photoinduced Reductive [4 + 2] Cycloaddition of Nitroarenes

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

    Organic Letters 27 ( 9 ) 2042 - 2048 2025.03

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  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.

    Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry 22 ( 16 ) 3230 - 3236 2024.04

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  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.
