ABSTRACT: A ring contraction approach for the total synthesis of (−)-pavidolide B was developed, which assembles this polycyclic natural product within 13 steps from known chiral alcohol 11. The key features of the strategy include (a) a double Mukaiyama−Michael addition/elimination, (b) a ringclosing metathesis, (c) a Wolff rearrangement, and (d) a latestage regioselective Schenck ene reaction.

syntheses of chatancin (2) have been successively described by Gössinger,3a Deslongchamps,3b and Maimone.3c Recently, Carreira and co-workers also accomplished an impressive total synthesis of (+)-sarcophytin (1).3d On the other hand, the biosynthetically related (−)-pavidolide B (4, Figure 1) was isolated together with (+)-sarcophytin (1) and (+)-chatancin (2) by Lin and co-workers from the marine soft coral Sinularia pavida in 2012.4 Preliminary investigations revealed that (−)-4 exhibits high selective inhibition against the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 with an IC50 of 2.7 μg/mL. Structurally, (−)-4 contains a challenging [6,5,5,7] tetracyclic ring system embedded within fully functionalized cyclopentane and seven contiguous stereogenic centers. In 2017, Yang, Gong, and coworkers disclosed an enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-4 by employing a cascade radical annulation of vinylcyclopropane as the key step.5 Very recently, we also developed a divergent approach for the concise and efficient syntheses of four cembrane diterpenoids, including (+)-sarcophytin (1), (+)-chatancin (2), (−)-3-oxochatancin (3), and (−)-pavidolide B (4).6 In continuation of our interest in this area, we herein describe an alternative total synthesis of (−)-4 through a ring contraction strategy. Our retrosynthesis is depicted in Scheme 1. We rationalized that (−)-pavidolide B (4) could be synthesized from acid 5 through a late-stage functionalization, involving a lactonization, a site-selective allylic oxidation7 at C10, and epimerization at C11. For the construction of 5, a Wolff rearrangement8 induced ring contraction of α-diazoketone 6 was projected as the means to assemble the [6,5,7] tricyclic carbon framework of the molecule. We expected the latter intermediate would be accessible from bicyclic diene 7 through a ring-closing metathesis (RCM).9 Finally, we envisioned 7 could be prepared from cyclohexenone 9 and Rawal’s diene 10. In the forward sense, this would proceed through a double Mukaiyama−Michael addition/elimination process,10 followed
embrane diterpenoids constitute a large class of marine natural products featuring a 14-membered macrocyclic or polycyclic carbon skeleton.1 Among them, the sarcophytin family members were isolated from the Sarcophyton species (e.g., 1−3, Figure 1),2 whose primary biological function is

believed to be chemical defense against predators.2d Of note, (+)-chatancin (2), bearing a ketone at C3, belongs to a new type of specific PAF antagonist.2c Initial studies indicate that it can inhibit both PAF induced platelet aggregation and PAF receptor binding with IC50 values of 0.22 μM and 0.32 μM, respectively, but has no effect on collagen, adenosine diphosphate, or arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation. The above polycyclic cembranoids contain a common [6,6,6] tricyclic core structure, possessing six or seven stereogenic centers. In particular, the cis-decalin motif (A/B rings) is folded into a highly congested polycyclic arrangement via a transannularly bridged hemiketal between a tertiary alcohol at C10 and a ketone at either C3 or C14 position. Due to their intriguing structures and potentially important biological activities, these molecules have attracted tremendous attention from synthetic community.

It should be noted that the high temperature was identified as the key element for the observed excellent diastereoselectivity.6,13 Further addition of aqueous HF (49 wt %/wt) at −78 °C initiated a second Mukaiyama−Michael addition followed by elimination to afford the requisite cis-[6,6] bicyclic enone 8, with generation of the quaternary carbon at C4, in 84% yield as a single diastereomer.

enone 20 was produced in 48% yield. Finally, the DBUpromoted epimerization at C11 proceeded efficiently to furnish (−)-4 in 98% yield. Synthetic (−)-4 exhibited identical spectroscopic (1H and 13C NMR) data, satisfactory optical rotation, and mass spectrometric data to those reported for the natural product.4 In summary, we have developed a ring contraction strategy for the total synthesis of (−)-pavidolide B (4) in 13 steps from known chiral alcohol 11. The key features include a double Mukaiyama−Michael addition/elimination, a ring-closing metathesis, a Wolff rearrangement, and a late-stage regioselective Schenck ene reaction. With the high efficiency in building structural complexity, the described strategy and methodologies should find wide application in the total syntheses of other members of polycyclic cembranoids and permit further exploration of their biological properties.
chain was realized through the TMS-accelerated Michael addition of the corresponding organocuprate, derived from the Grignard reagent 15,16 to 14 by the method of Nakamura and Kuwajima.17 As expected, the Michael addition took place exclusively at the convex side of the C5−C6 double bond and afforded 7 in 62% yield as a single isomer upon acid-promoted desilylation. Having rapidly assembled 7, we turned our attention to the late-stage synthesis of (−)-pavidolide B (4, Scheme 3). In the presence of the Grubbs II catalyst (5 mol %), ring-closing metathesis of 7 afforded the anticipated tricyclic ketone 16 in 83% yield. The latter compound was converted to the corresponding α-diazoketone through treatment with 2,4,6triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl azide, KOH, TBAB, and 18crown-6.18 Concurrent cleavage of the benzoyl group under basic conditions led to the isolation of 6 in 52% yield. The structure of 6 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis (for details, see the Supporting Information).19 After being transformed into mesylate 17 in 95% yield, the devised Wolff rearrangement was then investigated. Preliminary attempts to initiate such rearrangement using silver salts8,20 proved to be fruitless. To our delight, upon irradiation of a solution of 17 in THF at 25 °C with a medium-pressure Hg lamp8,21 for 1 h, the desired acid 18 was generated as a single diastereomer in 72% yield. Probably due to the steric effect from the equatorial isopropyl group at C1, the following intramolecular SN2 cyclization of 18 was met with failures. Delightfully, after exhaustive trials, 19 was obtained in a moderate yield with the aid of K2CO3 and 18-crown-6 in MeCN at 90 °C, which set the stage for the site-selective allylic oxidation. To our disappointment, Ishii’s protocol [Co(acac)2, NHPI, O2, MeCN, 50 °C]22 resulted in decomposition of the starting material (Table 1, entry 1). Upon treatment with CrO3/3,5DMP or SeO2/TBHP/O2, aldehyde 21 was generated as the sole product in 25% and 68% yields, respectively (entries 2 and 3). Pleasingly, the combination of diselenide, iodoxybenzene, and pyridine23 gave the desired enone 20 successfully, albeit in a low yield (entry 4). By employing the conditions described by Shing and co-workers [Mn(OAc)3, TBHP, 3 Å MS, rt],24 (−)-pavidolide B (4) was formed directly in 16% yield (entry 5). However, further replacement of Mn(OAc)3 with MnO2, CuI, Pd(OH)2, Rh2(CAP)4, RuCl3, and PhI(OAc)2 did not provide better results. Furthermore, the electrochemical C−H oxidation strategy developed by Baran and co-workers25 was investigated, which unfortunately led to the recovery of 19 (entry 6). On the other hand, the carboxylic acid-directed C− H hydroxylation of 18 at C10 following the procedures of White [Fe(PDP), H2O2, MeCN, rt]26 and Brown [Cu(OAc)2, H2O2, MeCN, rt]27 also failed to deliver any amounts of the desired product. In view of the above outcomes, we sought to pursue a more efficient conversion of 19 to (−)-pavidolide B (4). Inspired by our findings during the total syntheses of ent-kaurenoids,28 the regioselective Schenck ene reaction29 of 19 was tried. After exhaustive experimentation, we found that, upon exposure of 19 to in situ generated singlet oxygen from triphenyl phosphite ozonide (TPPO)30 followed by reduction with PPh3, a 4.2:1 mixture of the desired allyl alcohol 22 and its regioisomer 23 was obtained in a 78% combined yield. Subsequently, among the numerous oxidants screened, the oxoammonium salt TEMPO+BF4− reported by Iwabuchi and co-workers31 turned out to be optimal for effecting the Dauben−Michno oxidative rearrangement of 22. After a one-pot Dess−Martin oxidation,
