ABSTRACT: (+)-2-Deoxyoryzalexin S (1), the nominal enantiomer of a diterpenoid isolated in Chile from Calceolaria species, was regio- and diastereoselectively synthesized from (+)-podocarpic acid. (+)-2-Deoxyoryzalexin S (1) was characterized also as its acetyl derivative, (+)-2, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Surprisingly, comparison of the data recorded for (+)-1 and (+)-2 and those reported in the literature for the Calceolaria isolated diterpenoid 1 and its derivative (−)-2 showed some differences, suggesting that the latter do not possess the proposed structures.

I

n 1990 Garbarino and co-workers in Chile isolated a diterpenoid from some Calceolaria species1−3 to which, on the basis of the 1H and 13C spectra, the structure of 1 (2deoxyoryzalexin S) was attributed. To this compound, as well as to its congeners, the absolute ent-stemarane configuration was assigned on biogenetic grounds.1−3 Nominal 2-deoxyoryzalexin S (1) was characterized as its acetyl derivative (−)-2.1−3

(+)-podocarpic acid. The original isolated material is, in fact, no longer available for direct comparison (vide inf ra). The only stemarane diterpene compounds whose absolute configurations have been unambiguously established are (+)-stemarin (3), the parent compound of the stemarane family, whose structure and absolute configuration were established by X-ray diffraction,21 and (+)-13-stemarene (4),22,23 whose absolute configuration was confirmed by its preparation from (+)-podocarpic acid12 and (+)-stemarin (3).22

The fact that 1 and its congeners possess the ent-stemarane configuration, opposite that of the other known stemarane diterpenes, stimulated our interest for this class of compounds, whose structure and absolute configuration were never confirmed, neither by chemical correlation nor by X-ray diffraction. Thus, in the frame of our efforts in the synthesis of bicyclo[3.2.1]octane diterpene alkaloids 4−6 and diterpenoids,7−19 having now in hand a simple approach for the construction of the C/D ring system of the stemarane diterpenes,20 we decided to clarify this stereochemical aspect of Chilean stemarane diterpenes by synthesizing (+)-2deoxyoryzalexin S (1) from the preformed system of

The synthesis of (+)-1 would hopefully pave the way to the synthesis of the even more complex and biologically relevant (+)-oryzalexin S (5).24,25 Compound 5 is a phytoalexin, induced in rice leaves in response to the invasion of the fungus Pyricularia oryzae or when exposed to UV radiation or heavy metals.26

Photoaddition of allene to (−)-7 in THF at −78 °C gave quantitatively the photoadduct (+)-8 (Scheme 1). NOESY

Scheme 1

experiments showed a cross-peak between the H-C(11) and CH3-C(10), allowing us to establish the stereochemistry of the newly formed cyclobutane ring; the regiochemistry of the photoaddition followed from the downfield shift (about 1.5 ppm) of H-C(11), adjacent to both a double bond and a carbonyl function, compared to that of H2-C(13). Prior to methylation at C(13), the HO-C(19) photoadduct (+)-8 was protected as the tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether to give (+)-9. The protected photoadduct (+)-9 was then methylated with CH3I and NaHMDS/HMPA in THF at −78 °C. The methylated photoadduct 10 was then converted into the acetal 11, and the exocyclic methylene cleaved with OsO4/ NaIO4 to give the cyclobutanone 12 along with the unprotected keto-alcohol 13. The yield of the latter step was lowered by the formation of unidentified low Rf byproducts. The production of 13 during the OsO4/NaIO4 exocyclic double-bond cleavage was unexpected, although the cleavage of TBDMS ethers in the presence of other oxidants has been described.28 As far as the synthesis of (+)-1 is concerned, obtaining 13 was of no effect since the latter could be easily converted, via 14b, into 6-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one (15) (vide inf ra) by NaBH4 reduction and acid hydrolysis (Scheme 2). The stereochemical non-homogeneity at C(13) of compounds 10−12 is unimportant since it disappears when the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane system is formed. Compound 12 was then reduced with NaBH4 to give the cyclobutanol 14a. Treatment of 14a with a 2:1 THF/2 N HCl mixture gave 15 (Scheme 2) as an approximate 80:20 endo/exo epimeric mixture. This equilibrium distribution was explained by us in the past.29 The C(12) epimeric mixture of 15 dissolved in toluene was heated at 85 °C in the presence of TsOH, giving (+)-16 cleanly and in good yield. Thioacetalization of (+)-16 with ethanedithiol and BF3·Et2O at 0 °C then afforded (+)-17, which was transformed into (+)-1 by the action of Raney-Ni in EtOH at 60 °C (Scheme 3). Compound (+)-1 was fully characterized by means of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, DEPT 135, and NOESY experiments (Table 1).

Scheme 3

Comparison of the NMR data recorded by us for (+)-1 and those reported in the literature for 12,30,31 showed differences (Table 1) particularly in the 13C NMR regarding C(5), C(7), C(8), C(11), C(12), C(15), and C(16). (+)-2-Deoxyoryzalexin S was then acetylated with acetic anhydride in pyridine to give (+)-2 (Scheme 3). Compound (+)-2 was fully characterized by means of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1945

workers22 from (+)-stemarin (3), are also different from those recorded for the nominal compound 1, isolated from Calceolaria species.33 In conclusion, the first synthesis of (+)-2-deoxyorizalexin S (1) from (+)-podocarpic acid was achieved. (+)-2-Deoxyorizalexin S (1) was characterized also as its acetyl derivative (+)-2. The structure of (+)-2 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Comparison of the data of (+)-1 and (+)-2 with those reported in the literature for 1 and (−)-2 did not confirm the structure of (−)-2-deoxyorizalexin S originally assigned to the diterpenoid isolated from Chilean Calceolaria species. Further structural work on Chilean Calceolaria diterpenoids, to which nominal structures 1 and 6 were attributed, respectively, appears, therefore, necessary.

A solution of 10 (6.1 g, 14 mmol), ethane-1,2-diol (38 mL, 0.55 mol), and TsOH (0.13 g, 0.71 mmol) in benzene (0.60 L) was placed into a two-neck flask fitted with a Dean− Stark apparatus, a condenser, and a CaCl2 tube. The mixture was refluxed until TLC showed the disappearance of 10 (24 h). After cooling to rt, the mixture was diluted with Et2O, washed with a saturated NaHCO3 solution, dried, and evaporated.

(30) Unfortunately a direct comparison was not possible, as samples of 1 and (−)-2 were no longer available in Prof. Garbarino’s laboratory. The request for Calceolaria samples could also not be met (private communications to R.M.B.). (31) No specific rotation or melting point was reported for this compound. (32) Crystallographic data for the structure (+)-2 reported in this paper have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC-871942). Copies of the data can be obtained, free of charge, on application to the Director, CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK (fax: +44-(0)1223-336033 or e-mail: [email protected]). (33) It should be noted that also the data recorded by Coates and coworkers22 do not fit those of the enantiomer isolated from Calceolaria latifolia,2 to which the nominal structure 6 was attributed.
