Supporting Information Placeholder ABSTRACT: The first total synthesis of caprazamycin A (1), a representative liponucleoside antibiotic, is described. Diastereoselective aldol reactions of aldehydes 12 and 25–27, derived from uridine, with diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 and phenylcarbamate 21 were investigated using thiourea catalysts 14 or bases to synthesize syn--hydroxyamino acid derivatives. The 1,4-diazepanone core of 1 was constructed using a Mitsunobu reaction, and the fatty acid side chain was introduced using a stepwise sequence based on model studies. Notably, global deprotection was realized under using palladium black and formic acid without hydrogenating the olefin in the uridine unit.

Introduction Liponucleoside antibiotics are a class of natural products with structures comprising uridine attached to amino acids, namely 5’-C-glycyluridine, an aminoribose, and a fatty acid side chain. Examples include caprazamycins,(1) (2) (3) liposidomycins, muraymycins, A-90289,(4) and (5) sphaerimicins (Figures 1 and 2). Several liponucleoside antibiotics inhibit bacterial translocase MraY, which is a peptide glycan enzyme.(6) In the biosynthetic pathway, MraY is located upstream of the enzyme targeted by -lactam antibiotics and glycopeptide antibiotics (such as vancomycin). Therefore, novel antibiotics targeting MraY are expected to have a broad antimicrobial activity spectrum, including against multi-drug resistant bacteria such as methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycinresistant S. aureus (VRSA). Caprazamycins were isolated from Streptomyces sp. MK730-62F2 by Igarashi and coworkers in 2003 (Figure 1).(1) Structurally, these molecules possess a 1,4-diazepanone, which is a seven membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms, retaining the common motif of several liponucleoside antibiotics. The biosynthesis of caprazamycins was proposed through in vivo and in silico analysis of the biosynthetic gene cluster.(7) Recently, an enzyme catalyst that promotes an aldol-type condensation with glycine and uridine-5’aldehyde to construct 5’-C-glycyluridine was identified.(8) Caprazamycins show

antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the multi-drug resistant strain (MDR-TB), by inhibiting MraY as mentioned above.(1) Through caprazamycin derivatization, Takahashi and coworkers developed CPZEN-45, which exhibits more potent antibacterial activity, particularly against extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB).(9) As MDR-TB and XDR-TB are resistant to at least four of the core anti-TB drugs, including isoniazid and rifampicin, they present a potential public health problem. Therefore, caprazamycins and CPZEN-45 are receiving attention as seed compounds for future effective antibiotic drugs. Owing to its important biological activity and complex structure, we expected a total synthesis of caprazamycins to provide not only a synthetic sample and route for synthetic analogs, but also an opportunity to develop new synthetic strategies. Synthetic plan

When we began investigating the synthesis of liponucleoside antibiotics, the total synthesis of caprazamycins and liposidomycins had yet to be reported, although various synthetic studies towards liponucleoside antibiotics had been published.(10–14) In 2008, Ichikawa, Matsuda, and coworkers achieved the first total synthesis of caprazol (2), which is a core structure in caprazamycins.(6e) In their synthesis, a Sharpless aminohydroxylation and reductive amination were key reactions for constructing the syn--hydroxyamino acid moiety and 1,4-diazepanone core, respectively. After this landmark report, Shibasaki, Watanabe, and coworkers reported a total synthesis of caprazol (2) in 2013 based on a Cu-catalyzed diastereoselective aldol reaction used to construct the syn-hydroxyamino acid moiety.(13c) However, the introduction of a caprazamycin-type fatty acid side chain has not been reported. These preceding studies indicated that the synthesis of liponucleoside antibiotics presented the following challenges:

(i) Construction of the syn--hydroxyamino acid moiety, (ii) formation of the 1,4-diazepanone core, and (iii) introduction of the fatty acid side chain. To achieve a total synthesis of caprazamycin A (1), fatty acid side chain 4 would need to be introduced to caprazol core 5 at the late stage because these substructures were expected to be unstable under acidic and basic conditions due to the presence of -acyloxyester and acyloxy acetal moieties (Scheme 1). Benzyl (Bn), benzyloxymethyl (BOM), and benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) groups were selected as protecting groups for the caprazol core 5 that could be removed under mild conditions. The 1,4diazepanone motif in 5 would be constructed through a Mitsunobu reaction(15) of alcohol 6a, itself accessed from syn-hydroxyamino acid derivative 10 thorough -selective glycosylation with glycosyl fluoride 9(12e) and coupling with secondary amine 7a. To construct the syn--hydroxyamino acid moiety, we developed an asymmetric synthesis of trisubstituted oxazolidinones through the thiourea-catalyzed aldol reaction of 2-isocyanatomalonate diester 13.(16,17) Extending this method, syn--hydroxyamino acid derivative 10, which is a protected 5’-C-glycyluridine, would be synthesized from aldehyde 12 through a diastereoselective aldol reaction with 13 using thiourea catalysts 14, followed by ring opening of the resultant oxazolidinone 11a and decarboxylation. In this aldol reaction, the thiourea catalyst must precisely recognize a nucleophilic site (aldehyde) to achieve high stereoselectivity, which is challenging owing to the presence of several functionalities, including ether, imide, and N,O-acetal groups. The fatty acid side chain would be synthesized by coupling rhamnose derivative 15, β-hydroxyester 16, and carboxylic acid 17 (vide infra). In this report, we describe in full detail the first total synthesis of caprazamycin A, which was achieved by overcoming the three challenges described above.(18) Results and discussion 1. Diastereoselective synthesis of syn--hydroxyamino acid moiety To investigate the diastereoselective aldol reaction, diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 was prepared from diethylaminomalonate hydrochloride 20 using triphosgene following a literature procedure (Scheme 2).(19) As diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 readily polymerizes in the presence of trace amounts of water, it was used immediately after preparation. When water was removed by Kugelrohr distillation, the distilled diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 could be stored for several weeks. Phenyl carbamate 21, which is much more stable than 13, was also prepared in 97% yield by treating 20 with phenyl chloroformate and sodium bicarbonate under Schotten–Baumann conditions.

Scheme 2. Preparation of isocyanate 13 and phenylcarbamate 21.

Initially, the diastereoselectivity of the aldol reaction of aldehyde 12, prepared from a known protected uridine by IBX oxidation,(20) with diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 or phenylcarbamate 21 was examined in the absence of thiourea catalyst 14a (Table 1). While the aldol reaction with isocyanate 13 using 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)-7-undecene (DBU) as base (10 mol%) afforded oxazolidinones 11a and 11b in 42% yield, no selectivity was observed (entry 1). Using Et3N or K2CO3 as base did not improve the selectivity (entries 2 and 3). Under these conditions, a small amount of byproduct 22 was obtained through the reaction of products 11a and 11b with diethyl isocyanomalonate 13. Therefore, less-reactive phenylcarbamate 21 was employed as a nucleophile. Treatment of aldehyde 12 with phenylcarbamate 21 (1.0 equiv.) and DBU (1.0 equiv.) in THF at room temperature gave a 1:2.2 mixture of desired oxazolidinone 11a and undesired isomer 11b in 59% yield through phenylcarbamate addition and PhOH elimination (entry 4). To control the selectivity through chelation, several additives were tested.(11v,21,22) Adding ZnCl2 did not affect the selectivity (entry 5). The aldol reaction with LiBr (1.0 equiv.) resulted in a 56% yield with a 1:1.5 dr (entry 6). In this reaction, a small amount of 23 was obtained from elimination of the uracil moiety. To reverse this diastereoselectivity, we applied the same conditions using (S,S)-thiourea catalyst 14a, which was developed for the asymmetric aldol reaction of aldehydes.(16) The reaction of 12 with diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 in the presence of 14a (10 mol%) proceeded smoothly, affording desired oxazolidinone 11a as the major product (64%, 3.1:1 dr, entry 7). It was significant that the selectivity of this aldol reaction could be reversed using an organocatalyst. Both the yield and diastereoselectivity were improved (77%, 6.5:1 dr) using (S,S)-thiourea catalyst 14b (10 mol%) bearing a bulky tertiary amine moiety (entry 8). The amount of catalyst 14b could be reduced to 7 mol%, although this slightly decreased the diastereoselectivity. Interestingly, the formation of byproduct 22 was suppressed by reducing the amount of catalyst 14b. When the amount of catalyst was reduced to 5 mol%, the reaction proceeded slowly to give oxazolidines 11a and 11b in 68% yield, but with 4.2:1 dr, and a small amount of starting

material 12 was recovered (entry 10). Interestingly, the aldol reaction using (R,R)-thiourea catalyst 14b (10 mol%) gave undesired isomer 11b in 80% yield in a highly diastereoselective manner (>1:20 dr) (entry 11). These results indicated that the aldol reaction of aldehyde 12 with (R,R)thiourea catalyst 14b was a matched pair that afforded undesired isomer 11b. To explain this diastereoselectivity, a computational model study of this thiourea-catalyzed aldol reaction using benzaldehyde was conducted based on a DFT calculation (Scheme 3a, B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level).(23) The calculation suggested that transition state A was more favorable than transition state B, in which there was steric repulsion between the phenyl and isocyanate groups. Transition state C, which is another possible transition state towards undesired isomer 24b, was not more favorable than B, because C would be destabilized by steric repulsion between the tertiary amine and uracil moieties. Consequently, isocyanomalonate 13 would approach from the Si face of benzaldehyde to give Sisomer 24a. Indeed, this reaction gave S-isomer 24a in 87% yield with 88% ee.(16) Considering these results, the stereoselectivity of the reaction of aldehyde 12 with 13 using thiourea catalyst 14 was rationalized using the following reaction mechanism (Scheme 3b). Initially, thiourea catalyst 14 recognizes the two carbonyl groups of isocyanomalonate 13

through hydrogen bonding. The protonated tertiary amine moiety of thiourea catalyst 14 interacts with the carbonyl group of aldehyde 12 through hydrogen bonding to afford transition state D rather than transition state E. Subsequent cyclization of the resultant alcohol with isocyanate gave desired oxazolidinone 11a as the main product. We also investigated the aldol reaction of the related aldehydes 25–27,(24–26) in which two hydroxyl groups were protected as benzyloxymethyl (BOM), triisopropylsilyl (TIPS), and t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ethers instead of isopropylidene acetal (Table 2). When aldehyde 25 was treated with isocyanomalonate 13 and (S,S)-thiourea 14a in toluene at 0 °C to room temperature, the reaction proceeded to give desired product 28a in 55% yield with >9:1 dr (entry 1). In contrast, when (R,R)-thiourea catalyst 14b was used in an attempt to reverse the diastereoselectivity, diastereomer 28b was obtained as a minor product (2:1 dr, entry 2). As such diastereoselectivity was not obtained using aldehyde 12 bearing an isopropylidene acetal, it was assumed that this selectivity was derived from the bulkiness of the hydroxy protecting groups and/or the conformation of aldehyde 25.(27) Therefore, the reaction was also performed without chiral thiourea catalyst. When potassium carbonate was used as a basic catalyst, the reaction proceeded with high diastereoselectivity (entry 3).

The reaction of aldehyde 26, bearing TIPS groups, with isocyanomalonate 13 gave desired oxazolidinone 29a as the major product with 4.6:1 dr. The selectivity was improved by using a tertiary amine, with diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) proving particularly effective (entries 5 and 6). Furthermore, we attempted reacting 26 with phenylcarbamate 21, which was easier to handle than isocyanomalonate 13. Although 1 equiv. of potassium carbonate was required, this reaction proceeded smoothly to give desired oxazolidinone 29a in 62% yield with 13:1 dr (entry 7). These conditions using 21 could be applied to a large-scale synthesis from aldehyde 27 bearing a TBS group (17-g scale), which could be readily prepared from uridine. The desired oxazolidinone 30a was obtained in 84% yield with excellent selectivity (entry 8). To explain this diastereoselectivity, we estimated an activation energy for the reaction of aldehyde 27 with isocyanate 13 using DFT calculation at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level (Scheme 4). (23) The results indicated that the activation energy for transition state F, which affords desired adduct 31a, was 2.10 kcal/mol lower than that of transition state G, which affords undesired adduct 31b. In transition state G, there is steric repulsion between an ester group in 13 and a silyl group in 27, which would make transition state F preferable. Resulting adducts 31a and 31b would immediately cyclize to give oxazolidinones 30a and 30b, respectively. Therefore, desired oxazolidinone 30a would be the major product. Obtained aldol adducts 11a, 28a, and 30a were converted into syn--hydroxyamino acid derivatives 10, 38, and 39 (Scheme 5). Selective monohydrolysis of 11a, 28a, and 30a followed by decarboxylation gave thermodynamically stable trans-oxazolidinones 32–34, respectively. Transesterification of 32–34 using a tetranuclear zinc cluster(28) to afford methyl esters 35–37 was essential for concise oxazolidinone ringopening. O HN EtO 2C EtO 2C

After introducing a p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (pNs) group, the oxazolidinone ring was opened by treatment with NaOMe to afford syn--hydroxyamino acid derivatives 10, 38, and 39 in good yields. Protected compounds 10, 38 and 39 are useful intermediates for the synthesis of liponucleoside antibiotics. Indeed, we achieved the total synthesis of CPZEN-45 (3) from intermediate 39 in 2016.(14a) 2. Introduction of a fatty acid side chain using model 1,4diazepanone Although Shibasaki, Watanabe, and coworkers had reported a synthesis of the fatty acid side chain of caprazamycin B,(13d) the introduction of fatty acid side chain 4 onto a diazepanone ring had not been reported before we began this synthetic study. Presumably, this was due to the fatty acid side chain containing an unstable -acyloxycarboxylic acid structure, meaning that elimination and acyl group rearrangement might occur under basic conditions (Figure 3).

Furthermore, several side reactions on the diazepanone ring, such as epimerization, -elimination, and retro-aldol reactions, were expected. Therefore, we initially planned to establish a synthetic route toward model substrate 40 by introducing fatty acid side chain 4 onto diazepanone 41 (Scheme 6). Simple diazepanone 41 would be synthesized by coupling anti--hydroxy amino acid derivative 7b with carboxylic acid 43, derived from serine,(29) followed by an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction. To prevent undesired side reactions of the -hydroxy amino acid moiety under Mitsunobu conditions, determining appropriate reaction conditions and protecting groups was important. Fatty acid side chain 4 would be synthesized by coupling known rhamnose derivative 15(30) with carboxylic acid 17, followed by condensation with -hydroxy ester 16 (Scheme 1). Intermediates 16 and 17 would be prepared by the Noyori asymmetric reduction of keto ester 18 and the desymmetrization of 3-methyl glutaric anhydride 19, respectively.(31,32)

In the synthesis of 41a, an ,unsaturated ester 50 was obtained as byproduct owing to the basic workup after treatment with aqueous hydrogen fluoride (HF). Consequently, the isolated yield of 41a was low.

Scheme 6. Planned synthetic route for model diazepanone 41 bearing a fatty acid side chain.

The synthesis started with known diol 45, prepared from L(+)-diethyltartrate in a five-step transformation (Scheme 7).(33) Selective silylation of the primary alcohol followed by azide reduction gave an amine that was then protected as the corresponding pNs-amide. Resultant alcohol 46 was converted to anti--hydroxyamino acid derivative 7b through silylation of the secondary alcohol, introduction of a methyl group, and removal of the pNs group. Compound 7b was coupled with carboxylic acid 43, derived from L-serine,(14c,29) using Ghosez’s reagent(34) to afford compound 47 in 57% yield. After selective removal of the TBS group by treatment with 10camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) in MeOH–CH2Cl2 (2:3), the Mitsunobu reaction(15) of obtained alcohol 42 using diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and PPh3 proceeded smoothly to give 1,4-diazepanone 48 in 92% yield. Previous studies reported that both the hydroxy group and ester on the 1,4-diazepanone ring were oriented in pseudo-axial positions.(11u,v,y) In contrast, our DFT calculation suggested that the siloxy group and ester on 1,4-diazepanone 48 were oriented in pseudo-equatorial and pseudo-axial positions, respectively (Figure 4, conformation X). Conformation X was more stable than conformation Y, in which both substituents were oriented in pseudo-axial positions, presumably owing to the presence of a bulky substituent (pNs group) on the nitrogen atom. The coupling constant of 3.3 Hz observed between Ha and Hb did not contradict predicted conformation X. Compound 48 was converted to secondary amine 49 in 90% yield by treatment with PhSH and K2CO3.

Next, the synthesis of a fatty acid side chain 4 started with the desymmetrization of 3-methyl glutaric acid anhydride 19 using a cinchona alkaloid catalyst developed by Song and coworkers (Scheme 8).(32) The resulting carboxylic acid 17 (92% ee) was coupled with L-rhamnose derivative 15(30) through acid chloride formation to give ester 51. After separating a small amount of the undesired diastereomers, a benzyl group was removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of Pd/C to afford carboxylic acid 52. -Hydroxybenzyl ester 16 was synthesized by Noyori asymmetric reduction(31) of known -ketoester 18,(35) which was prepared from myristoyl chloride 53. Ester 16 was condensed with carboxylic acid 52 under Yamaguchi conditions.(13d) Protected fatty acid side chain 54 was successfully converted into the fatty acid fragment of caprazamycin A (4), which had the same stereochemistry as the natural product, in the presence of Pd/C under a hydrogen atmosphere.

Ester 58b was treated with zinc and AcOH to reductively remove the Troc group (Scheme 9). The resultant secondary amine was subjected to reductive amination followed by removal of the TES group to furnish N-methylated compound 59 in 66% yield. The glutaric monoester unit 52 was then successfully introduced to secondary alcohol 59 under Yamaguchi conditions. This stepwise method for introducing the fatty acid side chain was robust owing to no decomposition of the unstable structure and no epimerization. Therefore, this route would be applicable to introducing the fatty acid side chains of not only caprazamycins, but related liponucleoside antibiotics such as liposidomycins and sphaerimicins. 3. Total synthesis of caprazol (2) and caprazamycin A (1) With an established route for introducing the fatty acid side chain in hand, we next focused on constructing a 1,4-diazepanone

dimethoxybenzyl (DMB)-protected -hydroxy carboxylic acid 55a was attempted.(37) However, reactions using EDCI, DCC, or PyBOP did not afford desired coupling product 56, with aldehyde 57 observed as a byproduct produced by a retro-aldol reaction. In contrast, the reaction of Troc-protected 1,4diazepanone 41b with DMB-protected -hydroxy carboxylic acid 55a using EDCI proceeded smoothly, giving desired coupling product 58a in excellent yield. For subsequent transformations, including protecting group removal, triethylsilyl (TES)-protected -hydroxy carboxylic acid 55b was employed in this condensation reaction, affording desired ester 58b in 62% yield. These results indicated that compound 41b was more reactive than 41a in this transformation, despite having the same conformation. Our DFT calculations suggested that the enhanced reactivity of 41b might be due to the presence of a hydrogen bond between the hydroxy and Troc groups (Figure 5).

Scheme 8. Synthesis of fatty acid side chain 4.

With fatty acid side chain 4 and model 1,4-diazepanones 41a and 41b in hand, our attention turned to introducing the fatty acid side chain onto the 1,4-diazepanone core. Initially, the direct coupling of 4 onto model 1,4-diazepanone 41a was investigated (Scheme 9). When using EDCI, DCC, or PyBOP, the reaction gave a complex mixture.(36) To avoid undesired elimination of the -alkoxyester unit, condensation with 2,4-

core bearing amino-ribose and uridine moieties and introducing the side chain to achieve a total synthesis of caprazamycin A. Glycosylation of syn--hydroxyamino acid derivatives 10 with compound 9 proceeded in a β-selective manner under the conditions reported by Matsuda and Ichikawa (Scheme 10).(12) Reduction of the azide in coupling product 60, followed by protection of the resulting amine with a Cbz group and methyl ester hydrolysis afforded carboxylic acid 8. Carboxylic acid 8 was coupled with anti--hydroxyl acid derivative 7a, in which the secondary alcohol was protected as a TBS ether, using Ghosez’s reagent(34) via acid chloride formation. Selective TBS group removal from the primary alcohol of 61a gave cyclization precursor 6a. To investigate the Mitsunobu cyclization, compound 6b was also synthesized from carboxylic acid 8 and anti--hydroxyl acid derivative 7b using a similar sequence. No -elimination or epimerization were observed in these transformations.

Initially, the intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction of compound 6b, bearing a secondary alcohol protected as a p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) ether, was attempted. Although the cyclization of simple model compound 42 proceeded smoothly (Scheme 7), the reaction of 6b did not give desired cyclization product, even when diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) or diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) were employed in the presence of PPh3.

reduction of DEAD or DIAD. These results indicated that the intermolecular SN2 reaction of intermediate 64 was preferred over the desired intramolecular SN2 reaction. To suppress this side reaction, we employed sterically bulkier substrate 6a bearing a TBS group adjacent to the primary alcohol. As expected, the reaction with DIAD afforded cyclized product 62 in 70% yield. Furthermore, using di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (DBAD), which is bulkier than DIAD, improved the yield to 75%. By increasing the bulkiness of both the substrate and reagent, the undesired intermolecular SN2 reaction was suppressed to afford the 1,4-diazepanone product. Before introducing the fatty acid side chain, cyclized product 62 was converted into protected caprazol 5 to facilitate the final global deprotection (Scheme 10). After removing the pNs group, a Troc group was introduced to afford compound 65 in 58% yield over two steps. Two acetal groups were carefully hydrolysed under acidic conditions and the obtained tetraol was converted to a Cbz carbonate, followed by treatment under acidic conditions to remove the TBS group. To confirm the stereochemistry of protected caprazol 5, it was converted to caprazol (2). Troc group removal followed by reductive amination gave a tertiary amine, followed by treatment with Pd black in the presence of formic acid to give caprazol (2), which had spectra data identical to those reported previously.(12d,e,13c)

Scheme 10. Investigation of Mitsunobu reaction and synthesis of caprazol (2).

To complete the first total synthesis of caprazamycin A (1), we carefully applied model studies to couple protected caprazol 5 with fatty acid side chain 55b (Scheme 11). Condensation of 5 with 55b using EDCI successfully proceeded to afford the desired acylated product without undesired side reactions, such as -elimination, epimerization, and retro-aldol reaction on the 1,4-diazepanone. After removing the Troc group in the

presence of zinc and acetic acid, the resultant carbamic acid intermediate was treated with acetic acid to give compound 66 via decarboxylation. Reductive amination of secondary amine 66 was followed by TES group removal to afford corresponding alcohol 67. Yamaguchi conditions(13d) were applied to introduce the fatty acid side chain 52 containing rhamnose. Although the reaction

afforded protected caprazamycin A (68), byproduct 69 was readily formed through -elimination under these conditions. Therefore, the amounts of Et3N and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) were reduced, and the reaction time was shortened. As a result, protected caprazamycin A (68) was obtained in 64% yield. Finally, conditions for the global deprotection of five Cbz, one BOM, and one Bn groups in the protected caprazamycin A (68) while avoiding reduction of the uracil olefin were investigated. Using 10% Pd/C under a hydrogen atmosphere removed the protecting groups, but also resulted in olefin hydrogenation. Although various palladium (Pd) catalysts, including 5% Pd/C, Pd/C(en), and Pd(OH)2/C, in the presence of various hydrogen sources (H2, cyclohexadiene, and formic acid) were examined, none were able to suppress olefin reduction. In contrast, treatment with EtOH/formic acid (20:1, v/v) in the presence of Pd black resulted in a near-quantitative clean deprotection without olefin reduction. After careful neutralization, the spectral data, including NMR (DMSOd6/D2O, 20:1) and HRMS data, of the synthetic sample were identical to those of the natural product.(1) Therefore, the first total synthesis of caprazamycin A (1) was successfully accomplished. The NMR spectra of caprazamycin A (1) were concentration- and pKa-dependent (Scheme 12). When NMR spectra of 1 were measured using DMSO-d6/D2O/DCO2D

DMSO-d6/D2O (20:1). This indicated that caprazamycin A was in zwitterion form in DMSO-d6/D2O, but had a protonated carboxylic acid in the presence of formic acid. Conclusions We have developed a diastereoselective aldol reaction of diethyl isocyanomalonate 13 and phenylcarbamate 21 for the synthesis of -hydroxy amino acid derivatives. Thiourea catalyst 14 effectively obtained the desired 5’S-isomer 11a in the aldol reaction of aldehyde 12 bearing an isopropylidene acetal moiety. The resultant aldol products were readily converted into syn--hydroxy amino acid derivatives 10, 38, and 39 bearing several protecting groups. The 1,4-diazepanone core structure of caprazamycin A was obtained using a Mitsunobu reaction. A synthetic route for introducing a fatty acid side chain was established using a stepwise sequence. Finally, we achieved the first total synthesis of caprazamycin A by identifying conditions for global deprotection without hydrogenation of the olefin in the uridine unit. These results and the established synthetic route will guide the synthesis of related liponucleoside antibiotics bearing fatty acid side chains, including liposidomycins and spaerimicin A, and investigations into the synthesis of a related natural product are currently underway in our laboratory.

Ichikawa and coworkers recently reported controlling diastereoselectivity in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of compound 12 using Lewis acids, see Yamamoto, K.; Yakushiji, F.; Matsumura, T.; Ichikawa, S. Total Synthesis of Tunicamycin V. Org. Lett. 2018, 20, 256. The transition states were also calculated with several different functionals, including dispersion correction. See the Supporting Information for the details of computational studies. Compound 25 was prepared by IBX oxidation of a known BOM-protected uridine, see: Silva, D. J.; Sofia, M. J. Novel carbohydrate scaffolds. Assembly of a uridine–mannose scaffold based on tunicamycin. Tetrahedron Lett. 2000, 41, 855. Compound 26 was prepared from uridine in five steps: (i) TBS protection of the 5’-hydroxy group; (ii) BOM protection of the nitrogen atom; (iii) TIPS protection of the 2’,3’hydroxy groups; (iv) selective removal of the TBS group; and (v) Dess–Martin oxidation.
