ABSTRACT: Following the discovery that the guaianolide natural product eupalinilide E promotes the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells; the development of a synthetic route to provide laboratory access to the natural product became a priority. Exploration of multiple synthetic routes yielded an approach that has permitted a scalable synthesis of the natural product. Two routes that failed to access eupalinilide E were triaged either as a result of providing an incorrect diastereomer or due to lack of synthetic efficiency. The successful strategy relied on late-stage allylic oxidations at two separate positions of the molecule, which significantly increased the breadth of reactions that could be used to this point. Subsequent to C−H bond oxidation, adaptations of existing chemical transformations were required to permit chemoselective reduction and oxidation reactions. These transformations included a modified Luche reduction and a selective homoallylic alcohol epoxidation.

expectancy of survival for the patient.5 While it had been shown to possess selective cytotoxicity against a difficult cancer cell line, further evaluation of eupalinilide E did not occur beyond the initial isolation until the discovery of its ability to control stem cell fate. There has been a focused effort to discover compounds or biologics that direct stem cell fate by controlling the cell’s ability to undergo differentiation or expansion. Expansion is important, as the process increases the number of stem cells to provide useful quantities of either transplantable cells or cells that can be transformed into desired cell types. A significant focus has been to increase expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which can transform into blood cells. Transplantable HSPCs are derived from human tissues, either mobilized peripheral blood or cord blood. Cord blood is obtained from donated umbilical cords that are cryopreserved and stored in a cord blood bank.6 This source of HSPCs is particularly useful in cases where patients do not have suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched donors.7,8 However, cord blood samples possess a relatively lower HSPC count, which can present an inadequate or reduced response.9 Notably, the number of HSPCs transplanted to the patient directly correlates with the successful treatment of autoimmune diseases and recovery from cancer therapy and, as a result of this and other factors, two units of cord blood are transferred.10,11 This, as expected, puts increased demand on a

a plant which has ethnopharmacological uses as an antibacterial and antihistamine.1 Eupalinilide E was unique among coisolated compounds, as it possessed selective antiproliferative activity against A549 cells (lung cancer harboring KRAS mutation) with an IC50 of 28 nM and no effects on P388 cells (leukemia cell line). Cytotoxic activity against A549 cells is notable, as KRAS mutations make cells significantly less susceptible to chemotherapeutic agents.2,3 As a consequence of this resistance, there is an urgent need to develop drugs for this form of nonsmall cell lung cancer.4 Patients with cancers possessing KRAS mutations have reduced benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, are resistant to EGFR inhibitors, and experience less clinical success from medication in comparison to other forms of cancer, all of which significantly contribute to a low © XXXX American Chemical Society

possible using either cord blood or human mobilized peripheral blood. Remarkably, this proliferative effect was demonstrated at 600 nM, approximately 20-fold of the concentration used previously to kill A549 lung cancer cells. In the first week of treatment with eupalinilide E the percentage of CD34+ cells increased 50% and there was a 2-fold increase in the number of THY1+ cells (cells bearing CD34+ and THY+ immunophenotypes on the surface of undifferentiated cells are identified as HSPCs). Prolonged incubation with the compound (18 days) led to a 4.5-fold increase in the number of cells. Finally, there was a 45-fold increase in the number of cells after 45 days in comparison to controls using DMSO. The enrichment of both CD34+ and THY1+ cells was achieved by eupalinilide E’s ability to block differentiation and enhance HSPC expansion. The effects of eupalinilide E are reversible, and following removal of compound and transfer to fresh, compound-free media, the cells demonstrated the standard abilities to expand and differentiate. While the natural product was found to produce these effects through a novel mode of action, the characterization of the target(s) of eupalinilide E was not possible due to consumption of the eupalinilide E supply27 in these studies. Similarly, the evaluation of the homing and engraftment abilities of the eupalinilide E expanded cells was not possible due to a lack of material. Developing a method for laboratory access to eupalinilide E presented challenges as a result of the compound’s stereochemical complexity, a high degree of oxygenation, and multiple electrophilic sites, including an α-methylene γbutyrolactone and chlorohydrin. However, earlier guainolide natural product syntheses that were successful provided insight into how to approach the construction of eupalinilide E; in particular syntheses starting from carvone appeared to provide

limited supply of donated human tissues. An ideal solution to generate a limitless supply of HSPCs for transplantation would be to produce the cells ex vivo, outside of the bodyin the laboratory. While technologies for ex vivo culturing of HSPCs have been developed, a major impediment to culturing in an artificial environment has been rapid differentiation of the resulting cells. To date, the primary approach for expansion has been the use of proteinaceous factors, which have had partial success.12,13 Currently there are no FDA-approved methods for the expansion of HSPCs; clinical trials are performed on the laboratory HSPC cells produced. However, there are four small molecules that are currently undergoing or about to begin clinical trails for ex vivo expansion of HSPCs: StemRegenin-1 (aka SR1 (2)),14,15 UM171 (3),16,17 nicotinamide (4),18,19 and 16,16-dimethyl-PGE2 (5)20,21 (Figure 2). Given the importance of developing large-scale, clinically applicable methods for the production of HSPCs, additional agents functioning through novel mechanisms are needed, as related clinical trials have failed in the past.22 As HSPC expansion is achieved ex vivo, one of the major impediments in the clinical development of natural products, pharmacokinetics, is avoided. This allows the diverse and privileged chemical architectures of natural products to be used directly. Natural products that modulate the tailoring of histones have been found to be capable of expanding HSPCs.23−25 Schultz and co-workers screened Novartis’ natural product collection in an effort to discover new chemicals capable of promoting HSPC expansion. From a relatively small library of natural products of variable origin (∼700 compounds), eupalinilide E was shown to markedly drive the expansion of HSPCs and inhibit differentiation, leading to a large increase in the number of HSPCs.26 This effect was B

lactone 17. This crystalline lactone 17 possesses the required cis configuration at the bicyclic junction and the requisite trisubstituted olefin. Our synthetic efforts toward eupalinilide E began with the hydrohalogentaion of (R)-carvone (6) using dry hydrobromic acid to furnish carvone monobromide (14) (Scheme 1). Bromination of the remaining trisubstituted olefin with bromine generated tribromide 15. This crude tribromide was combined with isopropyl amine, forming bicyclic imidate 16.37 Direct hydrolysis of imidate 16 was facilitated by aqueous acetic acid, subsequently yielding lactone 17 (50% yield over four steps, one silica gel purification) as a stable, crystalline solid (mp 33−35 °C). This short sequence has generated >300 g of lactone 17 during the course of these studies. Initially we sought to introduce oxygen into the cyclopentene early in the synthetic sequence (Scheme 2). Mori and coworkers established the allylic oxidation of lactone 17 with an excess of chromium trioxide and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole in methylene chloride to provide enone 18 with a yield of 16%.38 Optimization of oxidant, additive, and time increased the yield of 18 to 38% on a 60 g scale. The use of Florisil rather than silica gel during chromatography-based purification increased both the consistency and yield of this reaction. Selective 1,2-reduction of enone 18 using a Luche reduction proved highly diastereoselective, generating alcohol 19.39 Formation of an ether at the allylic alcohol was achieved with p-methoxybenzyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate and catalytic camphorsulfonic acid to yield ether 20, conducted on a 16 g scale.40 Reduction of the lactone 20 using DIBAL yielded a diastereomeric mixture of lactols that when treated with vinylmagnesium bromide provided diol 22 in good yield and with high diastereoselectivity (Scheme 2). Ether formation of the newly formed secondary alcohol was achieved at ambient temperature using propargyl bromide, yielding diene-yne 23. An unoptimized elimination of the tertiary alcohol using Burgess reagent selectively formed the required triene-yne 24.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In the search for an appropriately substituted cyclopentene starting point, a report from Wallach (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1910) in 189936 centered on the Favorskii rearrangement of tribromide 15 fit the requirements for the synthesis of eupalinilide E (Scheme 1), providing the Scheme 1.

appropriately modified cyclopentene 17 (Scheme 1). Wolinsky and co-workers subsequently found that tribromide 15, generated in two steps from carvone (6), underwent an efficient Favorskii rearrangement with isopropyl amine to yield the intermediate cyclic imidate 16.37 The intermediate imidate could be directly hydrolyzed with aqueous acid to generate Scheme 2.

Triene-yne 24 provided a suitable substrate for palladiumcatalyzed borylative enyne cyclizations that helped simplify the synthetic approach (Scheme 3). Previously these conditions were discovered to generate homoallylic boronates in good yields and selectivities,41 as well as having the capacity to be influenced by directing group effects.42 Reaction of triene-yne 24 with bis(pinacolato)diboron, palladium(II) acetate, and methanol in toluene at 50 °C afforded the desired cyclic ether 26 (formed after oxidation of the intermediate primary boronate 25 with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide). The cyclization was highly diastereoselective and formed the required trans configuration off of the furan of boronate 25. Oxidation under Swern conditions and immediate treatment of the resulting aldehyde 27 with diethylaluminum chloride resulted in an ene cyclization to afford the 5,7,5-tricycle 28 as a white solid in 76% yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. This finding is in accord with related ene cyclization reactions of guaianolide natural products.32 To induce crystallinity, the secondary alcohol was made to react with 3,5-dinitrobenzyl chloride to provide ester 29, which generated crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction (Supporting Information). From this structure it was determined that the addition of vinylmagnesium bromide into lactol 21 formed the incorrect diastereomer (Scheme 2) which relayed subsequent stereochemistry generated in the synthesis (Scheme 3). The formation of the diastereomer, can be rationalized by the chelation controlled addition of vinyl Grignard into the open form alkoxide of lactol 21. Although the stereocenter was incorrect, the steps that followed achieved the proper relative configuration. Two changes to the general approach were implemented: delaying the C−H bond oxidation, previously using lactone 17, until later in the synthesis and installing the 1,1-disubstituted olefin prior to the vinyl addition (Scheme 4). Reduction of lactone 17 with lithium aluminum hydride formed diol 30 in quantitative yield. Previously, the poor yields using Burgess reagent to eliminate the tertiary alcohol prompted the development of a different method for elimination to form olefin 32. Acetate pyrolysis, conducted in neat acetic anhydride in an oil bath heated to 150 °C, provided a mixture of the desired olefin 32, the tetrasubstituted olefin 31, and diacetate of 30. Initially the ratio of these three products varied as the conditions were modified. However, the addition of activated, crushed molecular sieves improved the consistency of this

reaction, after further optimization, yielding a 2/1 mixture of 32 and 31, favoring the desired olefin 32, in 91% combined yield when the reaction was conducted on a 40 g scale. Aldehyde 34 was synthesized by lithium aluminum hydride cleavage of the primary acetate to form alcohol 33 followed by oxidation with Dess−Martin periodinane. In an optimized sequence aldehyde 34 in tetrahydrofuran was added to a solution of vinyllithium, generated in situ from tetravinyltin and n-butyllithium at −78 °C, to generate alkoxide 35 (Scheme 5). To a solution of the alkoxide 35 was then added anhydrous HMPA followed by propargyl bromide. The desired triene-yne 36 was isolated in 81% yield on a 23 g scale. The alkyne was silylated with n-butyllithium and trimethylsilyl chloride to attenuate the eventual reactivity of an α-methyleneγ-butyrolactone (vide infra). This modification had the added benefit that it doubled the previous yield for the borylative enyne cyclization,41 and it was found this reaction could be reliably conducted on a 20 g scale. The structure of the cyclized product 39 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic diffraction (Supporting Information). Primary alcohol 39 was oxidized using Swern conditions, and the crude aldehyde generated 40 on treatment with diethylaluminum chloride, undergoing cyclization at −78 °C (Scheme 6). This allowed access to tricycle 41 in excellent yield on a 12 g scale. The required tigloyl ester was installed with tiglic acid under Yamaguchi esterification conditions.43 This improved route, accessing the correct diastereomer, enabled the synthesis of over 55 g of carbocycle 42.

be replicated upon scale-up, as a result of poor scalability of the chemistry. Reduction of the enone carbonyl under Luche conditions generated allylic alcohol 44 as a single diastereomer in 92% yield (Figure 4). In the absence of the vinyl trimethylsilyl group, significant 1,4-reduction of the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone was observed under Luche conditions. However, due to the reactivity of the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone, problems arose when attempting to remove the vinyl trimethylsilyl within 44. The use of fluoride-based reagents such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride, pyridinium poly(hydrofluoride), cesium fluoride, and tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate resulted in nonproductive reactions. Protic acids such as hydrochloric acid and trilfuoroacetic acid induced extensive decomposition. Bachi and co-workers developed a strategy for the cleavage of similar trimethylsilyl groups by the conjugate addition of thiophenol into the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone followed by the addition of tetrabutylammonium fluoride.44 This sequence formed the corresponding thioether and a small amount of the re-formed α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone. The method was improved by the addition of excess methyl acrylate as a Michael acceptor trap to capture released thiophenol. This sequence was adapted for the desilylation of the vinyl trimethylsilyl group of 44 (Scheme 7). Through this sequence the desired “free” α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone 45 was isolated in 53% yield. Purification complications associated with 45 prompted the development of a more lengthy sequence. First

The carbocyle 42 underwent a double allylic oxidation on treatment with chromium trioxide and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole to yield 43 in 30% on a 3 g scale (Table 1). Many other reagents and conditions were investigated for this reaction, including selenium dioxide, manganese(III) acetate, and other chromium based reagents such as PDC and Collins reagent. In general, these provided little to none of the desired product. Although earlier trials on a 500 mg scale gave a 46% yield, this could not Table 1. Allylic Oxidation of Tricycle 42

Preliminary route failure could be retrospectively traced to premature introduction of oxygen into synthetic intermediates. As a consequence, the successful strategy introduced oxygen at a late stage through oxidation of activated methylene groups, providing carbonyls. This approach maximized substrate compatibility with different reagents up to the late-stage oxidation. Following C−H bond oxidation tuning of chemical transformations, chemoselective reduction and oxidation were required and included a modified Luche reduction and a selective homoallylic alcohol epoxidation.
