- Discovery of N-Substituted 3-Amino-4-(3-boronopropyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic Acids as Highly Potent Third-Generation Inhibitors of Human Arginase i and II
-
Recent efforts to identify new highly potent arginase inhibitors have resulted in the discovery of a novel family of (3R,4S)-3-amino-4-(3-boronopropyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid analogues with up to a 1000-fold increase in potency relative to the current standards, 2-amino-6-boronohexanoic acid (ABH) and N-hydroxy-nor-l-arginine (nor-NOHA). The lead candidate, with an N-2-amino-3-phenylpropyl substituent (NED-3238), example 43, inhibits arginase I and II with IC50 values of 1.3 and 8.1 nM, respectively. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships for this novel series of inhibitors, along with X-ray crystallographic data for selected examples bound to human arginase II.

- Enantioselective Total Syntheses of (-)-Rhazinilam, (-)-Leucomidine B, and (+)-Leuconodine F
-
A divergent total synthesis of three structurally distinct natural products from imine 9 was accomplished through an approach featuring: 1) a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling, and 2) heteroannulation of 9 with bromoacetaldehyde and oxalyl chloride to give tetrahydroindolizine 6 and dioxopyrrole 7, respectively. The former was converted into (-)-rhazinilam, while the latter was converted into (-)-leucomidine B and (+)-leuconodine F. A substrate-directed highly diastereoselective reduction of a sterically unbiased double bond by using a homogeneous palladium catalyst was developed. A self-induced diastereomeric anisochronism (SIDA) phenomenon was observed for leucomidine B. Be divergent: Concise total syntheses of (-)-rhazinilam, (-)-leucomidine B, and (+)-leuconodine F were accomplished from the common intermediate A. A homogeneous palladium catalyst was exploited for the first time to accomplish a substrate-directed highly diastereoselective hydrogenation of a sterically unbiased double bond. A self-induced diastereomeric anisochronism (SIDA) phenomenon was observed for leucomidine B.

- An enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-isoschizogamine
-
A concise enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-isoschizogamine, a complex bridged polycyclic monoterpene indole alkaloid, was accomplished. N-Alkylation of an enantio-enriched imine with an alkyl iodide afforded an iminium salt, which, upon heating by microwave irradiation in the presence of pivalic acid, was converted into the hexacyclic structure of natural product by a complex but ordered domino sequence. The one-pot process leading to the formation of one C-C bond and three C-N bonds created three rings and three contiguous stereogenic centers with complete control of both the relative and absolute stereochemistry. Mix and go: Simply heating the alkyl iodide 1 and imine 2 afforded the hexacyclic compound 3, which was subsequently converted, in one step, into (-)-isoschizogamine. Pivalic acid is the only reagent needed to promote this complex yet ordered domino sequence creating three rings and three contiguous stereogenic centers with complete control of both the relative and absolute stereochemistry.

- Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of sterically hindered tertiary α-aryl ketones
-
The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of a series of tertiary α-aryl cyclopentanones and cyclohexanones has been accomplished via a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative protonation of the corresponding α-aryl-β-keto allyl esters. Enantioselectivities of up to 92% ee and 74% ee were achieved for cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone substrates, respectively. The route described gives access to these important structural motifs in moderate to high levels of enantioselectivity. In particular, this is only the second direct approach for the preparation of tertiary α-aryl cyclopentanones. The synthetic approach allows for simple modification of the aryl group. Significantly, substrates containing sterically hindered aryl groups gave the highest levels of enantioselectivity, and these aryl groups were readily installed by a Pb-mediated arylation of a β-keto allyl ester.

- Formal synthesis of aspidospermidine via the intramolecular cascade transannular cyclization
-
A formal synthesis of aspidospermidine is reported through a novel preparation of Stork's penultimate tricyclic ketone intermediate. The key steps of the synthesis consist of an intramolecular cascade transannular cyclization, triggered by the removal of Boc group, which simultaneously forms the C, D, and E rings of aspidospermidine and conveniently setting up the quaternary stereocenter via decarboxylative alkylation reaction of the β-keto ester.

- Synthesis of tricyclic β-methylene spiro lactones related to bakkenolides by successive radical cyclization-high pressure Diels-Alder reactions
-
The synthesis of some novel bakkenolides and their epi-spiro analogues was achieved by a new approach. Photolysis of allyl 1-(phenylseleno)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylates 7-9 afforded the corresponding spiro lactones 10-12 by radical cyclization via group transfer of the phenylseleno group. Selenoxide elimination of 11 and 12 produced the corresponding β-methylene lactones 14 and 15. Diels-Alder cycloaddition of lactone 11 with piperylene failed at ambient pressure, but proceeded in generally good yield in the presence of various Lewis acids at pressures of ca. 16 kbar, to give mixtures of β-exo, α-endo, and β-endo cycloadducts 19, 21, and 23, respectively. The preponderance of endo products 21 and 23, formed via highly hindered, but more compact, transition states was attributed to the high pressure and resulted in trans-dimethyl configurations of the products. The facial selectivity was dependent upon the Lewis acids, and the greatest α:β ratio was observed with catalysts of the type TiCl2(OR)2. Epimerization of the C-4 methyl group in 21 and 23 to furnish the corresponding cis-dimethyl analogues was achieved via exo-epoxidation, regioselective reduction, oxidation to the corresponding 3-keto derivatives, and base-catalyzed equilibration, thereby affording (±)-3,6-dioxobakkenolide-A (39) and its epi-spiro derivative 28, respectively. When the radical cyclization step was performed subsequent to the Diels-Alder cycloaddition by photolysis of perhydrindane 43, only the epi-spiro product 44 was obtained.
