Development of the total syntheses of arylomycins A(1) and B(2) is detailed. Key features of our approach include 1) formation of 14-membered meta,meta-cyclophane by an intramolecular Suzuki-Miyaura reaction; 2) incorporation of N-Me-4-hydroxyphenylglycine into the cyclization precursor, which avoids the late-stage low-yielding N-methylation step; 3) segment coupling of a fully elaborated peptide side chain to the macrocycle, which makes the synthesis highly convergent. Overall, arylomycin A(2) was obtained in 13 steps from L-Tyr for the longest linear sequence, in 13 % overall yield. Arylomycin B(2) was synthesized in 10 steps from L-3-nitro-Tyr, in 10 % overall yield.
A palladium-catalyzed oxidative carbo-heterofunctionalization of aniline derivatives involving concomitant direct C-H functionalization and C-X bond formation was developed. By simply changing the reaction conditions (solvent and catalyst), either 3,3'-disubstituted oxindole or spirooxindole was accessible from the same starting material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
