Total synthesis of (-)-4-hydroxyzinowol
Abstract
(-)-4-Hydroxyzinowol (1) is a potent inhibitor of P-glycoprotein, which has been implicated in multi-drug resistance in the treatment of cancer. The highly oxygenated structure of 1 comprises a trans-decalin (AB-ring) and a tetrahydrofuran (C-ring) and possesses six acyloxy, one hydroxy, and one alkoxy groups. The challenge of synthesizing 1 is particularly heightened by the nine consecutive stereogenic centers on the 10-carbon decalin skeleton. The total synthesis of this extremely complex structure was achieved in 36 steps from 5-acetoxynaphthalen-1-ol by the judicious application of powerful chemo- and stereoselective reactions. The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of the isopropenyl group set the C7-stereocenter, and the remaining three cis-oriented hydroxy groups (C6, 8, and 9) of the B-ring were stereoselectively constructed in a stepwise fashion. The C5-tetra-substituted and C10-quaternary carbons at the juncture of the AB-ring were then introduced by oxidative dearomatization and Diels-Alder reaction, respectively. After acid-promoted formation of the C-ring ether, the C1-, 2-, 4- and 6-oxygen-based functional groups were stereoselectively installed to deliver the fully functionalized tricycle. Finally, the polyhydroxylated structure was converted to the polyacylated target molecule 1 via regioselective acetylation and benzoylation.
