Diphenylphosphoryl azide a novel reagent for the stereospecific synthesis of azides from alcohols

“…A Mitsunobu reaction of 31 with diphenylphosphoryl azide was used to install the C(4Љ)ON 3 (63,64). Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of the terminal olefin then afforded diol 32 in 96% yield as an 86:14 mixture of inseparable diastereomers (65).…”

A convergent, highly stereoselective total synthesis of (؊)-spinosyn A (1) is described. Key features of the synthesis include the transannular Diels-Alder reaction of macrocyclic pentaene 11 and the transannular Morita-Baylis-Hillman cyclization of 12 that generates tetracycle 26. The total synthesis of (؊)-spinosyn A was completed by a sequence involving the highly ␤-selective glycosidation reaction of 13 and glycosyl imidate 30.T he spinosyns are a family of polyketide natural products that possess extraordinary insecticidal activity. The biosynthetic mixture, generated by Saccharopolyspora spinosa, comprises mostly spinosyn A (1) (Scheme 1) (Ϸ85%) and spinosyn D (Ϸ10-15%) (1-8). This mixture is currently marketed for use as an insecticide against a variety of insects (6). Total syntheses of spinosyn A have been reported by Evans and Black (9) and Paquette et al. (10,11). Synthetic StrategyDiels-Alder reactions have been proposed as key steps in the biogenesis of several natural products, including lovastatin, solanapyrone, nargenicin, and ikarugamycin (12). Kirst et al. (3) suggested that the biosynthesis of spinosyn A may involve a transannular Diels-Alder (TDA) (13) reaction of a macrocyclic pentaene to form the C(4)OC(12) and C(7)OC (11) bonds (see 4 3 3; Scheme 1). Kirst also suggested that a transannular cyclization of a 1,3-dicarbonyl nucleophile may generate the C(3)OC (14) bond (3). Alternatively, we speculated that the C(3)OC(14) bond may be formed by a vinylogous Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction mediated by an enzymatic nucleophile (compare 3 3 1; Scheme 1). Based on these biosynthetic considerations, we sought to assemble spinosyn A (1) via a TDA and MBH cyclization sequence of an appropriately functionalized macrocyclic pentaene 4.Diastereoselectivity of the Diels-Alder Reaction. Paramount to the success of this synthetic strategy is the control of the diastereoselectivity of the TDA reaction (4 3 3). It is known from the work of Evans and Black (9) that the intrinsic diastereofacial selectivity of the intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction of 5a favors the incorrect C(7)OC(11) trans-fused diastereomer 6a with 6:1 selectivity (Scheme 2). Although Evans and Black (9) addressed this issue by incorporating a chiral auxiliary (13) in the dienophile (see 5b 3 7b), we would not have recourse to this strategy for the TDA cyclization of 4. Thus, some means for controlling the stereochemistry at the C(7)OC(11) ring fusion relative to the C(9)Oalkoxy substituent in the Diels-Alder reaction was required.We initially hoped to use the steric directing-group strategy to control the diastereoselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction (15-17), which could involve appending a bromine steric directing group at C(6) of the IMDA or TDA substrate to control the stereochemical outcome of the cycloaddition, leading to the desired C(7)OC(11) trans-fused diastereomer. It was anticipated that TS2, which leads to the undesired C(7)OC(11) trans-fused isomer 10 and is favored in the absence of the C(6)OBr steric direct...

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) mediated one-pot synthesis of N a -Fmoc/Bsmoc/Boc/Z-protected ureidopeptides and peptidyl ureas as well as phenyl/succinimidyl (N a -urethane protected) methyl carbamates starting from N a -protected amino acids is reported. The formation of an azide, its rearrangement and coupling with an amino component is accomplished in a sequence of one-pot operations. The protocol has incorporated urea linkages in a sterically hindered peptide.
