1 How a Total ynthesis Evolves ver Time The Amphidinolide T-eries H Jason M. tevens 12/06/2006

2 Amphidinolide Natural Products Isolated in 2000 from marine dinoflagellates of the genus Amphidinium living in symbiosis with kinowan acoel flatworm Amphiscolops Have exhibited significant antitumor properties and cytotoxicity against a variety of NCI tumor cell lines as well as human carcinoma KB cells Consist of highly oxygenated, stereochemically rich macrolactones ranging from 12 to 29 atoms with various degrees of unsaturation.

3 Total ynthesis of the T-eries Amphidinolides T1 and T3-5 have been synthesized to date The first total synthesis of T4 was reported by Fürstner in 2002 and T1, T3, T4, and T5 in The total synthesis of Amphidinolide T1 was first reported by Ghosh in The Jamison group reported the syntheses of Amphidinolide T1 and T4 in 2004 and In 2006 the Zhao group reported the total synthesis of Amphidinolide T3 The library of the total synthesis of other Amphidinolides continues to grow steadily

12 What we learned The Mukaiyama reaction is an efficient method of building the molecule up from the furan Protecting groups, if not chosen carefully, may alter the desired conformations of advanced intermediates and produce unfavorable reactivity The Negishi coupling is probably not the best coupling reaction lefination is problematic after generation of the macrolactone ynthesizing the Northern Hemisphere of the molecule with differentiable protecting groups provides a template for synthesis of 4 of 5 T-Amphidinolides H

18 Improvements? The olefin was protected in this synthesis although it seems the protection wasn t very effective The furan was used as the foundation for building up the molecule and its construction was more concise RCM was an effective means of coupling for generation of the side chain prior to the macrocyclization Yamaguchi conditions provided to be an effective means of completing the synthesis H

31 Improvements? The olefin was installed early to prevent future problems and carried through successfully The furan was again used as a foundation for building the molecule although it was prepared in a different way The macrolactonization that was demonstrated by Ghosh was effectively used The current synthesis provides a template for preparation of future amphidinolides H

32 Final Thoughts After several total syntheses the reactivity has been sufficiently investigated f the four syntheses each has its own highlights and drawbacks with the best synthesis probably as a blend of each The broad scope and report by Fürstner provided future researchers a template to follow and improve upon The evolution is apparent in that each subsequent synthesis drew upon what was learned from previous efforts to continuously improve how the target molecule is prepared
