RESUMO
[reaction: see text] An annulative approach toward the total synthesis of the sesterterpenoid variecolin (1) is presented. Synthesis of the key hemiketal, containing the core ABC ring skeleton, has been achieved on a model system by an expeditious route utilizing samarium(II) iodide. Furthermore, enantioselective syntheses of component fragments for the total synthesis have been developed.

Samarium(II) iodide was used to access eight-, nine-, and ten-membered carbocycles via a domino reaction composed of a cyclization/fragmentation process. 2-(Iodoalkyl)-, 2-(iodomethyl)allyl-, and 2-(2-iodomethyl)benzyl-2-methyl-3-(methanesulfonyloxy)cycloalkanones were subjected to Barbier-type reductive coupling conditions. Intermediate cycloalkanedione derivatives were also treated under similar conditions, providing bicyclic hydroxy ketones with complete diastereoselectivity and high yields. This method represents a general and efficient approach to a variety of highly functionalized, stereodefined carbocycles.

[figure: see text] The palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of potassium alkyltrifluoroborates with aryl- or alkenyltriflates proceeds to afford the corresponding arenes or alkenes in high yield. The borates are all solids, stable in air, and thus can be stored on the shelf indefinitely. The cross coupling can be effected using PdCl2(dppf).CH2Cl2 as the catalyst in THF-H2O in the presence of Cs2CO3. A variety of functional groups can be tolerated within the borate and/or the triflate coupling partner.

A diastereoselective, lanthanocene-catalyzed, intramolecular hydroamination reaction was applied to the preparation of 2,6-disubstituted piperidines. Various metal/ligand arrays in the catalysts were examined using a model substrate to allow optimization of the diastereoselectivity. It was determined that the relationship between metal size and ligand bulk plays an integral role in the transformation. The complex Cp2NdCH(TMS)2 converted 2-substituted 8-nonen-4-amines to 2,6-disubsituted piperidines with greater than 100:1 selectivity for the formation of the cis isomer. A short synthesis of pinidinol, an alkaloid isolated from various pine and spruce species, was then carried out to exploit this stereoselective reaction.

A protocol has been developed in which annulation reactions of various dihalides with keto esters can be carried out to provide entry to eight- and nine-membered carbocycles. In this process wherein one alkenyl- or aryl bromide and a tethered alkyl chloride comprise the organic dihalide, a selective metal-halogen exchange reaction between the sp(2)-hybridized bromide and an organolithium initiates the process. Transmetalation to an organoytterbium reagent generates a species that undergoes selective carbonyl addition to the ketone of the keto ester, creating a lactone intermediate. Subjection of the resulting chloroalkyl lactone to intramolecular reductive coupling with samarium(II) iodide completes the desired annulation.
