ABSTRACT: Total synthesis of jahanyne (1) was achieved from commercially available materials in 38 mg scale. Boc-N-Me-L-Val-OH fragment along with the HATU/DIPEA coupling condition, were applied to avoid diketopiperazine side reaction in solution phase synthesis.

Secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms constitute a large reservoir of valuable pharmaceuticals ranging from antibiotics to anti-cancer agents.1-3 Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are widely distributed throughout the world4 and produce a large variety of secondary metabolites containing cyclic/acyclic peptides.5 Jahanyne, an acetylene-containing lipopeptide, was first discovered in 2015 as a secondary metabolite of cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp. by Suenaga et al.6 Structurally characterized with multiple N-methylated amino acids and two rare partial structures, C-terminal 2-(1-oxo-ethyl)-pyrrolidine moiety (Oep) and N-terminal 2,4-dimethyldec-9-ynoic acid moiety (fatty acid), jahanyne showed good inhibitory activities against HL-60 and Hela cancer cell line. Due to the scarceness of jahanyne, its medicinal chemistry as well as mechanism of action haven’t been explored until the recent work reported by Chandrasekhar et al.7 They completed the total synthesis of desmethyl jahanyne and discovered 3 lipo-tetrapeptides derived from the skeleton of jahanyne, which exhibited comparable bioactivity towards Hela cell line via inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells. Further research on the synthesis of jahanyne and and its analogues may provide new leads for drug discovery. Very recently, Brimble et al. reported the first total synthesis of jahanyne featured with a modified Fmoc solid-phase synthetic strategy to effectively couple hindered N-methylated animo acids without

epimerization.8 Herein, we report our total synthesis of jahanyne. Scheme 1. Retrosynthetic analysis of jahanyne (1)

Scheme 2. Synthesis of fatty acid 4

Retrosynthetically, disconnected at Oep-L-Pro1 peptide bond, we envisaged that the direct coupling of 2 with Oep moiety may be difficult due to the decomposition of Oep moiety in regular coupling condition.9 So the more stable 3 was chosen as the latest introduced building block to replace the Oep moiety. Further disconnection of 2 at the N-terminal gave rise to two building blocks, including the fatty acid 4 and the peptide 5 (Scheme 1). The fatty acid 4 could be prepared in seven steps from commercially available starting materials and the peptide 5 could be prepared by sequential coupling reactions starting from L-Pro1 to N-Me-L-Ala. The forward synthesis commenced with the synthesis of 4. Treated with n-BuLi, 7 was then subjected to the reaction with 6 to afford 8 in 88% yield.10 Acylation of 8 using oxalyl dichloride followed by amidation with Evans auxiliary 9 provided 10. Asymmetric methylation of the sodium enolate generated from 10 proceeded smoothly to afford 11 in 66% yield with d.r. > 20:1 according to 1H-NMR.11,12 Reduction of 11 with LiAlH4 followed by Appel reaction13 or treatment with Tf2O afforded iodide 13a and 13b in 75% and 65% yields respectively.14 The asymmetric alkylation between 13b and 14b failed to give desired product. To our delight, employing

modified Evans conditions,15 iodide 13a was subjected to asymmetric alkylation with the enolate generated from 14a and gave rise to 15a in 61% yield (d.r. > 20:1 according to 1 H-NMR), installing the required 2,4-anti-dimethyl stereochemistry. Treatment of the resulting 15a with 1 N HCl led to the hydrolysis of both the TMS group and the amide bond, which provided 4 in 57% yield (1.2 g scale, one batch) (Scheme 2). The compound 3 was obtained via reduction of commercially available N-Boc-Oep followed by TFA treatment.16 Scheme 3. Synthesis of compound 3

Scheme 5. Total synthesis of jahanyne (1)

Next, union of N-methylated amino acids was pursued (Scheme 4). The coupling reaction between 16 and 17 under the conventional coupling condition (EDCI/HOBt) led to rapid formation of the condensation product 18 in 75% yield.17 Then we moved on to investigate on the optimal choice of coupling reagents to efficiently couple three sequential sterically hindered N-Me-L-Val-OHs. In addition to the steric hindrance imposed by the additional methyl group, the challenges in the coupling reaction lie in the undesired diketopiperazine (DKP) formation and problematic epimerization.18,19 Brimble selected Fmoc-N-Me-L-Val as the building block in the solid phase synthetic strategy to avoid DKP and fragmentation caused by Boc-N-Me-L-Val. Herein we chose Boc-N-Me-L-Val-OH as the building block. Deprotection of 18 using TFA followed by condensation with 19 under EDCI/HOBt led to trace amount

of product 20, presumably due to steric hindrance. Using the coupling method (HATU/DIPEA) discovered by Louis A. Carpino,20 we were pleased to obtain the condensation product 20 in 60% yield. Under this condition, tetrapeptide 21 and pentapeptide 22 were achieved in 50% and 50% yields respectively. The dropped yields was attributed to the growing hindrance in the N-terminal of 18, 20 and 21. It was noteworthy that during these sequential transformations, no diketopiperazine (DKP) product and 4.1%, 4.5%, 1.6% epimer of 20, 21, 22 were observed respectively according to LCMS analysis. (see Figures S5-S7 in the Supporting Information). Using this coupling condition, 23 (Boc-N-L-pro2-OH) and 25 (Boc-N-Me-L-Ala-OH) were also introduced, provided hexapeptide 24 and heptapeptide 5 in 66% (2.1% epimer) and 62% (1.3% epimer) yields respectively (1.1 g scale, one

batch) (see Figures S8-S9 in the Supporting Information) . All the starting materials in the synthesis of the peptide chain 5 were commercially available. With the key intermediates 3, 4 and 5 in hand, we fulfilled the total synthesis of jahanyne as shown in Scheme 5. Coupling conditions between fatty acid 4 and peptide chain 5 were investigated. The COMU/DIPEA and BOP-Cl/DIPEA conditions21,22 only resulted in low yields (10-20%) of product 26, while the condition using HATU/DIPEA provided 26 in moderate yield with 2.4% epimer was observed. (see Figures S10-S11 in the Supporting Information). For model study, careful hydrolysis of methyl ester of 21 followed by direct condensation (HATU/DIPEA) of Oep moiety led to the rapid consumption of Oep moiety while only trace amount of condensation product was observed. Thus the reduction form of Oep (3) was employed to couple with the acid obtained from hydrolysis of methyl ester of 26. Under HATU/DIPEA condition, compound 27 was obtained in 62% yield (4.2% epimer). Late stage oxidation of 27 using DMP9 followed by subsequent purification of the crude reaction mixture by column chromatography afforded jahanyne (1) (76% yield, 38 mg scale). The characterization data obtained for our synthetic 1 were fully accord with those reported data for the natural product, as well as the synthetic jahanyne reported by Brimble. In summary, total synthesis of jahanyne (1) was achieved from commercially available materials in 38 mg scale. Boc-N-Me-L-Val-OH fragment along with the HATU/DIPEA coupling condition, were applied to avoid diketopiperazine side reaction and less than 5% epimer in each coupling reaction was observed.. Based on this established route, synthesis and biological evaluation of the structural analogs of jahanyne are currently in progress and will be reported in due course.
