Biomimetic Synthesis Enables the Structure Revision of Littordials E and F and Drychampone B

Abstract: Structural reassignments for littordial E, littordial F, and drychampone B are proposed on the basis of consideration of their biosynthetic origin. The key step in the proposed biosynthesis of each of these meroterpenoids is an intermolecular hetero-Diels–Alder reaction between an o-quinone methide and caryophyllene or humulene. Biomimetic total synthesis of the natural products gave sufficient material to allow their structure revision by NMR studies.

“…We therefore propose that the structure of anthopogochromane should be revised to 28 . This reassignment is also supported by the proposed biosynthesis of anthopogochromane via a stereoselective, intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 27 .…”

“…A related issue is that natural product structures are occasionally corrected due to re-isolation and re-evaluation ( 20 ), computational reassessment of the original NMR data ( 21–23 ), or total synthesis ( 24 , 25 ). The Natural Products Atlas includes fields and search terms for reassignment data; however, the reassignment dataset remains incomplete.…”

“…(−)-β-Caryophyllene ((−)-1) can be obtained from different natural sources in large quantities and can be used not only as a cheap, renewable starting material to access more complex low-abundance natural compounds, but also to study biosynthetic connections in nature. Several natural product syntheses from (−)-β-caryophyllene have been recently demonstrated, including the biomimetic syntheses of meroterpenoids, [4][5][6][7][8] semisyntheses of rumphellaones A-C, 9 as well as the rearrangement of caryophyllene derivative to the tricyclic presilphiperfolan-1β-ol structure, 10 providing evidence for biosynthetic relationships in nature. Only few examples to date depict the applicability of β-caryophyllene and β-caryophyllene oxide in gramscale syntheses of natural products of rare occurrence.…”
