  • Approaches toward synthesis of the mycosporins

    Creator:
    Cammack, Janice H.
    Abstract:
    The mycosporins, formerly called P310's are secondary metabolites of fungi closely associated with fungal reproductive processes that require light. The structurally related iminomycosporins are found in marine plants and animals and may also have functions related to light. In this study, approaches toward the asymmetric synthesis of the mycosporins are...

  • Asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes via a "zipper reaction"

    Creator:
    Lincoln, Christopher M.
    Abstract:
    The rearrangement of a homoallyl cation to a cyclopropylcarbinyl cation is thought to play a role in the biogenesis of a variety of cyclopropane-containing natural products,¹ a hypothesis which has previously led to the design of successful biomimetic syntheses of several natural products.² The strategy underlying this approach to cyclopropane...

  • Total synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin

    Creator:
    Hansen, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    The first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin via intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition is described. The synthesis utilized a convergent approach to prepare the cycloaddition precursor 176, which was assembled by condensation of hydroxylamine 175 with aldehyde 145. Hydroxylamine 175 was synthesized from ethylene glycol (166) in seven steps. Aldehyde 145 was completed...

  • Studies toward the total synthesis of (+)-providencin

    Creator:
    Jana, Somnath
    Abstract:
    Studies toward the total synthesis of (+)-providencin (1), a highly oxygenated cembranoid dipterpene with a unique bicyclo[12.2.0]hexadecane skeleton and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 320 and 332 which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1. In a first generation approach...

  • Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

    Creator:
    Shaw, Subrata
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

  • Total synthesis of phorboxazole A

    Creator:
    Lee, Tae Hee
    Abstract:
    The total synthesis of a highly potent cytotoxic marine natural product, phorboxazole A, is described. Both a palladium(II)-mediated and a palladium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular alkoxycarbonylation were used as key steps for the preparation of the two cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran rings (C22-C26 and C11-C15) of phorboxazole A. The synthesis used a convergent approach involving...

  • Synthetic approaches to the tricarbonyl subunit of rapamycin

    Creator:
    LaMunyon, James B.
    Abstract:
    Rapamycin (5) was isolated in 1975 from the soil bacteria Streptomyces hygroscopicus and its structure was determined from spectroscopic techniques and an x-ray crystallographic analysis. Although it was initially found to exhibit antibiotic activity, it was subsequently shown to possess potent immunosuppressive activity as well. Three approaches to the synthesis...

    Abstract:
    Studies towards the total synthesis of (-)-gymnodimine (1), a marine neurotoxin with a unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in a convergent approach to the advanced intermediate 315, containing the C3-C32 section of 1. Two synthetic routes were developed to construct the tetrahydrofuran subunit...
