Abstract

Full details of the biomimetic conversion of polyene metabolite spectinabilin (5) into the isomeric natural products SNF4435C (1) and SNF4435D (2) by a cascade of E/Z-isomerizations and electrocyclizations are reported. Additionally, short total syntheses of the related natural products (±)-aureothin (3), (±)-N-acetyl-aureothamine (4) and (±)-spectinabilin (5) are presented. The key steps in the synthesis of (±)-3, (±)-4 and (±)-5 are the construction of the tetrahydrofuran motif using a palladium-catalyzed cycloaddition and the ruthenium-catalyzed cross metathesis of alkene 17 to form the common intermediate, boronic ester 24, which was further transformed using a trans-selective Suzuki coupling with a dibromide and a stereospecific Negishi-type methylation.
