RESUMO
The C(1)-C(13) fragment of the antimitotic marine macrolide leiodermatolide is prepared in seven steps via hydrogenative and transfer-hydrogenative reductive C-C couplings. A hydrogen-mediated reductive coupling of acetylene with a Roche-type aldehyde is used to construct C(7)-C(13). A 2-propanol-mediated reductive coupling of allyl acetate with (E)-2-methylbut-2-enal at a low loading of iridium (1 mol %) is used to construct C(1)-C(6), which is converted to an allylsilane using Oestereich's copper-catalyzed allylic substitution of Si-Zn reagents. The union of the C(1)-C(6) and C(7)-C(13) fragments is achieved via stereoselective Sakurai allylation.

A total of 19 alkylated heterocycles (thiophenes, benzothiophenes, pyrroles, furans) were prepared (36-99% yield) from the respective pyridin-2-yl-substituted precursors employing alkylboronic acids as the C-H alkylating reagents in an oxidative (Ag2CO3 and 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone as oxidants) Pd-catalysed coupling reaction.
